Heart Forth, Alicia - Update#6, New Goals

Alonso Martin has posted the sixth update for his funded kickstarter Heart Forth, Alicia with an update on the games stretch goals.

Out with the old and in with the new (stretch goals)!

Wow! Congratulations everyone. Thanks to all of you, Heart Forth, Alicia is coming to PS4! We’ll have more details and get the PS4 version of the game into our tiers as we continue our talks with Sony throughout the week.  

New Stretch Goals

We’ve torn past the PS4 port and well on our way to trouncing the Mac/Linux goal, so it’s about time we talk about our next round of stretch goals!

One benefit of the attention that we’ve received from the campaign (thanks to all of your amazing support!) is that it’s opened up new doors to us in regards to people that we can work with, and something pretty amazing has happened: our Fifth Stretch Goal involves a legendary composer whose career stretches back to the NES era, and whose music you’ve heard in a lot of classics that you probably still love to this day! Of course, this superstar composer has also worked on many modern, recognizable, and incredibly successful projects, so even those of you whose gaming careers don’t date back to the 8-bit days will have something to love. Once we reach $135,000, we’ll reveal who this mysterious composer is (we’re bound by blood not to reveal it yet), and what that person will be doing for the game!

That isn’t the end of it, though! We’re working on our Sixth Stretch Goal already, and it’s still something completely unbelievable to us! Working with this composer has led us to the incredible opportunity of working with other fantastically talented composers on a Remix Album of the game’s OST. Those composers include but are not limited to:

• Keiji Yamagishi (Ninja Gaiden, Tecmo Bowl) 
• Saori Kobayashi (Panzer Dragoon Saga and Orta, Crimson Dragon) 
• Yumiko Takahashi (vocalist of Suikoden) 
• Jake Kaufman (DuckTales Remastered, Shovel Knight) 
• Ben Prunty (FTL) 
• Chipzel (Super Hexagon) 
• Stemage (Metroid Metal) 
• Video Game Orchestra (Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII) 

Once we hit $135,000 and announce the identity of our mystery composer, we’ll be ready to reveal the stretch goal for this Remix Album, and its full list of composers. 

Please help us spread the word! Nothing would make us happier than being able to work with these incredible people.
