The Second Half: Funding Progress and Thunderclap Campaign
over 6 years ago
– Fri, Dec 08, 2017 at 10:07:10 PM
Mesdames et Messieurs,
Thank you for joining us, in yet another lovely campaign update. Let's begin, shall we?
Funding Progress
As of this writing, we are over 62% funded with 13 days to go. This is good progress, especially for a smaller campaign like our own.
A toast to our backers, for your incredible support!
However, there's still a ways to go, which brings me to the second part:
The Thunderclap Campaign
As some of you may know, the middle of any Kickstarter campaign is the hardest part. There's a flurry of funding at the beginning, a flurry at the end, and a trickle in the middle. However, this doesn't mean we're just spinning our wheels, waiting for things to happen. We're working on an amazing update to share with our fans, as well as reaching out to every group possible to make sure the whole world finds out about Ambition, so we can get funded and get you this game. To that end, we've started a Thunderclap campaign, to help with the final push.
What Is Thunderclap?
Thunderclap is an easy, free way for you to help make a big impact and get the word out about Ambition. By signing up for Thunderclap, your setting yourself to automatically make a single post to your various social media feeds about Ambition, at a set date and time. All these posts, coming out together at the same time, will increase our reach on these feeds and make sure more people find out about the game. This will help make sure that our final push is as strong as possible.
Join the Thunderclap campaign here.

Cross Promotion: Spinnortality

Mesdames et Messieurs,
We're firm believers in supporting our fellow indie developers, and to that end, we'd like to bring your attention to the Kickstarter for Spinnortality.
Spinnortality is very different in flavor from Ambition. We're all about courtly politics and fancy parties, where they're about shadowy near-future corporations. However, both of our games are rooted in the same idea of secretly manipulating the world from the shadows in order to achieve your ends. To quote their campaign:
Spinnortality is set in a harrowing cyberpunk world where corporations are king. Nations have merged into massive, politically stagnant super-states. Some are so-called "democracies", some are dictatorships, and some are ultra-capitalist dystopic nations called "corpornations"...
- Research horrible technology; convince everyone it’s brilliant
- Manipulate politics
- Run a corporate empire
- Become immortal. Reshape the world
If all that feels like something you'd like to do, then be sure to check out Spinnortality, today!
Bien amicalement,

Add Ons Are Here!

Mesdames et Messieurs,
Here's the latest update on the campaign for Ambition: A Minuet in Power.
Funding Progress: 54%
As of this update, we're 54% funded, with over 19 days to go in our campaign. This is all a result of your continued, fantastic support.
Add Ons Have Arrived!
Several of our supporters have asked whether our campaign would ever have add ons. For those who don’t know: Kickstarter add ons allow backers to increase their backing by a set amount. This allows them to get additional rewards, without having to make another account and pledge new backing all over again.
We’ve been quiet for a few days on the subject, but now we can give you a resounding “Yes!”
If you’re interested in claiming some add ons, go to the campaign and scroll down, below the ‘Rewards’ section, until you see the new section labeled ‘Add Ons’. There, you’ll be able to see the new add ons that are available, as well as a step by step guide for those who are new to the process of including add ons in their backing for a Kickstarter campaign.
Thanks for your support, if you have any questions, please send us a message. We’ll get back to you as soon as we can!
Bien amicalement,
- Luther

Dearest Backers,
Thank you for your support for Ambition: A Minuet in Power! This update is sort of a two-in-one, so let's get to it!
Funding
With over 25 days to go, we are already 33% funded for this campaign. That is fantastic progress! We just need to keep working hard and getting the word out, wherever possible, and we'll be ready to finish Ambition before you know it
Nouveau Riche Tier: Supplies Are Running Out!
Our early bird special, the 'Nouveau Riche' backer Tier is running out! As of this writing, there are less than 30 discounted copies of the game left. If you or a friend would like to grab one of those while it's still available, I'd suggest you do that now. Once they're gone, they're gone for good!
Thanks again for your support, and stay tuned for further updates!

24 Hour Update: 20% Backed!

Dearest Backers,
We have been absolutely amazed by your support! In the first 24 hours since the campaign's launch, we've raised over 20% of the funding necessary to bring Ambition: A Minuet in Power to life.
This is pretty much how we feel right now...
Still, the campaign isn't over yet, not by a long shot. Maintaining this momentum is critical and we need do that by spreading the word to make sure the whole world knows about what we're making. After all, people can't back the project if they don't know it exists. We're going to do our best to tell the world about Ambition, but everything you do helps. Every share, every post, every link, is vital to making sure we can bring the revolutionary, romantic gameplay of Ambition to life.
Thanks again for your support, and stay tuned for further updates!
