Aussie Block Dice on IndieGoGo

[Magictobe]

Can you up your pledge as it continues? I would like to pledge for a larger belgian group but if I want more, can I then up the pledge for more dice?

There is an upgrade pack which allows you to move from one pledge level to a new one (eg three to six). If you need more then 12 sets let me know and we can arrange something.

[Virral]

And we are now just $1 shy of the 90% mark, thanks everyone!

Looking at some of the stretch goals, we are 50% off the Baggy Greens.

[Heff]

Target hit. Coral Reef shall be mine

[Virral]

Yay, we've hit our initial funding goal and in an amazingly short time too! Hugs all round ;D

This means that we can all shade our eyes at the glory of Coral Reef (and you'll be able to select it as one of your colours when I send out the survey at the end of the campaign).



Our next target, and one I'm very excited about, is Croc Hunter at $1750. I really hope we hit this target, I am in love with this colour scheme!

[Virral]

Fantastic news guys, we've smashed the Croc Hunter goal and are already well on our way to Baggy Greens!

Also we have had a contribution at the "Design Your Own" level which has led to the release of our sixth unique colour, the MBBL- Blue with Metallic Silver!



For those keeping track at home, this means that once the Baggy Greens are unlocked you can get all seven colours using the Six Sets perk. Don't forget if you have already contributed and want to upgrade to a new perk, you can do it using our "upgrade" perk!

[Virral]

Wow guys, you've ripped through the Baggy Greens target!

That means every supporter, even those getting a $10 random set, will get a free set of Baggy Greens. Two sets of Block Dice for $10, it's a hell of a bargain

I'm going to investigate the next stretch goal carefully before setting goals, but what I want to do is include a set of two match D6 with every set of block dice, free of charge. It's a big goal, but one I'm keen to see make it to reality.

I have some other funky plans too, and I should be ready to announce those by early next week.

Thanks everyone for your support!

Hi all, I've updated the campaign with a host of new goals:

$3300 - Dog Tag Bottleopeners

One of my favourite items I've ever produced for Eucalyptus Bowl is my dog-tag Bottle Opener, made for Euc Bowl 2011. Keeping with the Aussie theme and the Bottecap tokens, I've decided to make a new bottle opener which will be added to all perks at "Three Sets" or above.

You'll also be free to add $5 to either your pledge or via the "Extras Perk" to get more of these awesome bottle openers.

I can't stress this enough, this is a ROUGH DRAFT of the final product, obviously I still need some time to work on the design!!



$3800 - RAINBOW SERPENT


Ever since early on in this process, I really wanted to get a set of multi colour block dice done, but the setup costs were too high compared to standard dice. However, due to the success of this campaign and the size of our order, I've managed to make this work in the existing budget.

If we meet this goal, I will add Rainbow Serpent as a standard colour choice. I will also add free copies to the higher level perks, starting at "Six Sets". This means anyone getting "Six Sets" or higher can continue to get one of each colour on offer.

$4000 - MORE BOTTLECAPS

I've had a very positive initial response to the Beer Bottlecap designs, and so to celebrate hitting $4000 I intend to release a second set of six bottlecaps, this time using inspirating from soft drinks. Check out an early sample of some designs we may use:



If we meet this goal, I will double the current bottlecap allocations for all existing perks, and add one set of bottlecaps to the "Three Sets" perk (you can choose between Beer and Soft Drinks).

$4500 - NEW COLOUR AND MORE DICE CHOICES FOR ALL "CHOSEN COLOUR" SETS

If we manage to get this far, I'll add a new colour combination (I'll update this with an image this evening).

I will also add one extra chosen colour to every perk (more at higher levels) except the Random Set perk. So, if you're getting One Set, you'll get to choose two colours (plus your free Baggy Greens), if you're getting Three Sets you'll get to choose four colours and so on.

$7000 - PAIR OF MATCHING D6 FREE WITH EVERY SET OF BLOCK DICE

Yep, sadly that's the sort of cost involved and this is why I ultimately decided not put the D6 ahead of the other goals listed above.

If we reach this goal, I will add a set of two D6 in matching colours with every single set of block dice, regardless of what level of perk you receive.

WHO GETS WHAT?

And because it's starting to get confusing, here is a chart of who gets what with their pledge.

[Heff]

Small point but to me red is "bad" outcomes and orange is not so good (kinda like traffic lights) I would run the colours the other way. Red is Scary koala, orange is aus/koala, green is as is, blue is aus/leaf, purple becomes aus.

Oh and my physics teacher would fail you for missing yellow

[Virral]

Yellow on white isnt so great

Its a fair point, there are also "red" associations with the land here, the red centre etc. They arent set in stone yet so will keep that in mind before final design is confirmed

[Virral]

Now I'm not much of a designer, but this is what I've come up with for the Bottle Openers and I'm pretty happy with it! That said, I would't be offended if someone with a bit more design talent put their hands up to do a proper job of it ;D

[Virral]

Ok after feedback here and on Ausbowl, I've tweaked the design for Rainbow Serpent. Let me know what you think!



Primarily I wanted to separate the Red and Orange colours so they weren't on such similar designs, and also to move the Red over to the Koala because I agree it's good to have the worst result as Danger Red.

I also tweaked the colours themselves a bit to make them more striking.

[Virral]

Hello everyone,

Things are going really well over on the Campaign, we've now passed the "Rainbow Serpent" and "Soft Drink Bottlecap" targets. Some perks have extra sets of Rainbow Serpent and Bottlecaps added to the rewards. Here are the Bottlecap designs:



Our next goals are "Uluru Twilight", a Purple dice design at $4500. After that we have "Matching D6" at $7000, which is a maching pair of D6 with every set of Block Dice you get (so each set goes from three dice to five dice total).

We have four possible designs for "Uluru Twilight", and I'll be putting up a survey soon for everyone to vote for their favourite. Here are the options:






And here is an updated chart of rewards, which includes the two upcoming goals (so obviously if we don't reach that goal, the reward is not included in the final perk).

[Heff]

Orange for my money

[Virral]

Nearly at $5000!

Just a smidge over $2000 to go for those free D6 guys, I genuinely think we can manage it!

And as both an encouragement for more contributions AND an opportunity for me to give back to the community as a result of this highly successful campaign, I've come up with a simple incentive program to allow contributors to give back to their local tournaments.

It's this simple:

1) Everyone who contributes at least $36 (Three Sets) can vote for one Tournament at the end of the campaign.

2) Each person can only nominate a single tournament, but higher contributions will count more than lower ones (e.g. if Three Sets is one "vote", Six Sets is two "votes" etc).

3) Every tournament who gets at least five "votes" will recieve a free gift pack of Aussie Block Dice as prize support. The size of the prize pack will depend on the number of "votes" the tournament receives.

4) Only tournaments which are NAF approved in 2012 are eligible (including tournaments running up until the 31st of December 2012). Before I send the prize support, I will get in contact with the organiser to confirm that the event is running again in 2013.

My hope is that this will be a great way for contributors to score some free gear for a local tournament, and as an organiser myself I know that every bit helps when it comes to providing prizes for my players!

So remember, to vote you'll need to be contributing at least $36 and at higher contribution levels your vote will count for more
