WE DID IT ! $30,000 in the bag and THE DIGGER AS 1ST PLAYER MARKER IN EVERY COPY OF MAGNATE! Stretch goal well and truly unlocked.

Thank you so much everybody. Love that our little friend is going in to each game. May your constructions be profitable! 

Can we get that awesome new art for all the tycoons out there? Guess I will find out tomorrow! 

GOODNIGHT!

Just $882 from that digger!

We're almost there on our first stretch goal - playtest tour favourite the 1st player digger!

I really want to include this component. There's nothing like being able to drive the 1st player  marker to the next player (it has working wheels!). And, in Magnate's highly thematic spirit, I can think of no finer emblem than a construction veichle for a game about building big things

But its something we can only  afford to put in if we raise enough! The more backers we get, the more we can make this fly. 

There's *even* more exciting stuff further down the pipe if we can get this!

Stretch goals announced!

Since my last update we've raised another $4,000 - and we're still not even at the 24 hour mark! You are smashing this. We know what means. Sooner than I ever hoped...

Its STRETCH GOAL TIME!

Our first two are officially unlocked. Go check them out now. Our first goal could only be one: Convention circuit favourite, the 1st PLAYER MARKER DIGGER!

Everyone gets a digger if we can get to $30k! Go go go!

FUNDED!

I was confident we had made a good game. After the reviews started to come in, I was confident that it was probably more likely we would fund over the course of a campaign than not.

But this is just mad. 5 AND A HALF HOURS?!

Thank you SO much for backing Magnate. It is a joy to know that, because of you, a game I first came up with the idea for 8 years ago is going to become a reality.

I better start getting those stretch goals unlocked... 

Bear with me... its all happening very fast!

What a day!

And so the first 10 hours ends with a very healthy $22,000 raised.  Absolutely jaw dropping.

It's been wonderful talking to everyone on social media, messages and in the project comments. Sorry if I've not got to you yet. There's still a huge amount to do! I will get back to you soon. 

Thank you once again - and also to everyone who got in touch with suggestions about how we can improve the campaign! It looks like we've done a good job overall, but there are still areas to improve. Rest assured, we will do our best to be even better.

Tomorrow though, the next phase of the campaign begins - stretch goals.

I'll give you only a mere hint about one of the goals for now: A little friend many of you who've seen us at tradeshows and playtesting sessions may recognise. 

We're signing off now to get some sleep. See you tomorrow!
