Raising funds for the Forest

The IndieGogo campaign to remake The Endless Forest with new technology closed with an amazing 86% of its target collected. That's fantastic! Thank you all for your support.

This means that the remake will definitely happen!

I'm sure we can count on you to collect the remainder of the budget now that we have a bit more time. You can do that here.

Well done to everyone who contributed and to the community for being so supportive. I'm glad to hear we'll see the Forest come back to life in a new light.

The phoenix phase has begun!

The phoenix phase has begun! I feel bad that I wasn't able to donate, but I tried to raise awareness as best I could. It's amazing to see how such a small community can get together and raise this much money in a short time!

Also, thanks for making the extra funding possible and also visible. This helps so much. I will be able to donate more over the months, for sure.

Question, will the perk rewards be the same or are they slightly altered? E.g. The €300 no longer mentions the golden pelt on your web page.

The six perks are the same as their namesakes on IndieGogo, with the exception the omitted perks which will remain exclusive to the IndieGogo backers.

I will add the Golden Pelt. Thanks for pointing that out!

The nicest part of this is knowing that we're less than 4500 euroes from completing this. How encouraging, when put into that perspective!

@Vee - yes I know right! If we each could spare a bit of money each month we'd get there in no time.

YESSSS this donation page is

YESSSS this donation page is perfect, I love that the progress bar is there too so we can all see how far we are from the goal, as well as any future progress made towards it. I think that's very encouraging. I have to admit, I was doubtful we'd even get to 50% on Indiegogo, so to see it at 86% was a shocking but very welcomed surprise. I'll do what I can donation-wise over the coming months too - it won't be much, but I'll do my best <3

Unfortunately I probably won't be able to donate again any time soon.

I'm glad to see we have a formal way to collect the remaining donations even with the Indigogo campaign finished (which finished STRONG good job to everyone who was able to donate). I know a few people had wished for a way to chart our progress towards the total goal so thank you Michael for putting together that progress bar.

I don't know if it is me, but I clearly remember on the donation page being at 35 thousand something and at 90%. And now it is suddenly at 34,804 and at 87%. Is it a glitch of sorts?

Paypal will handle the conversion for you!
However, the US cent to the Euro is very disproportionate. Depending on how many US cents to a Euro you may pay more than the numbers you see there. E.g. 50 Euros means 60 USD.

xe.com is a good resource to see the international currency exchange.
