Heart Forth, Alicia - Paypal Option & Dungeons

Alonso Martin shares more information about PayPal, upgraded challenge dungeons, and a new Ultimate 'Ancient Áumma' Tier in the latest kickstarter update.

Paypal now available!

We’ve been working since the start of the campaign to open up a PayPal option for those of you that are unable to go through Amazon Payments, and today we’re happy to announce that PayPal is officially integrated into Heart Forth, Alicia’s Kickstarter campaign!

To back Heart Forth, Alicia using Paypal, just follow this link:

In order to keep PayPal pledges manageable, we’ve simplified our tier structure to include only our most popular and significant tiers. Doing this will make handling a large number of pledges independent of Kickstarter’s infrastructure much more feasible, as well as allow us to smoothly transition into a preorder system once the campaign in complete. However, backer-exclusive rewards are only available during the campaign. Once our Kickstarter campaign concludes, these rewards will become permanently unavailable, so get in while you still can!

New 'Ancient Áumma' Tier—New Challenge Dungeon Mob Bosses with Tracks from Manami Matsumae!

Challenge Dungeons are designed to test players’ skills, reflexes and endurance in a single run, with defeat sending them back to the beginning of the dungeon. While working out how to bring Manami's amazing work into the game, we saw a parallel between these dungeons and the games that she’s previously worked on, which sparked an awesome idea: how cool would it be if, in addition to having Manami write each dungeon’s theme, we could make them reminiscent of the classics she’s worked on in the past? What if the dungeons ended with a mob boss instead of a treasure box? What if we could give this mob boss its own Manami theme song, too?! 

Mob bosses, contrary to normal bosses, respawn some time after having been killed. They also drop some of the most interesting and powerful loot and accessories in the game, including items needed for sidequests and other cool things. In the case of the Challenge Dungeons, you’ll have the opportunity to run through the dungeon multiple times to get new loot from the mob boss.

We've still got a lot of things to plan regarding these dungeons, but we wanted to give you the opportunity to participate in designing these three special mob bosses and have decided to open up a new tier that would allow you to design a challenge dungeon’s mob boss! This tier will essentially be the same as our current ultimate backer tier, except the three people who back at this tier will get to position their mob boss as the final hurdle of our Challenge Dungeons, complete with their own theme from Matsumae-san!
