Bones IV pre-launch & news

[Lidless Eye]

Bones IV: Sticks and Stones

[kristof65]

Bones IV: The Voyage Home

[strawhat]

We're gathering art assets now, right now our big debate is the Subtitle. I'm pushing for Bones IV: Ma'aldrakar's Revenge, Ron wants something more akin to an old school adventure (Bones IV: Bones of the Borderlands), and Ed likes Bones IV: Mr Bones Lives.  Each of us in CONVINCED that the other 2's title is unnecessarily confusing.

 

Note that those are NOT the actual titles, I made up new ones that are thematically similar to the real ones...

 

 

Gotta admit, that I really like Ed's idea...err..theme since it's not the actual title.

 

Although if that were the actual title, I would like it.

 

And of course, the obligatory suggestion--Bones IV: Keeping up with the Boneses.

Bones IV: Game of Bones

[Glitterwolf]

For a theme I suggest a little dog running around and digging up Bones.

 

Each time he digs up  a bone it's a stretch goal.

 

In this process he could be either chasing or getting chased by the creature(s) he digs up.

 

Also I would love prehistorics..

 

So something like Bones IV Jurassic Bones..or The Bone Age...

so if i was looking for the core + paints...

 

Then when the addon feature opens pick a few large monsters or expansion set (dragons or such) and the hut (if available as an addon) that would be about what i am saving for then with postage and customs to the UK i would be sorted!!!

 

I assume the addons and expansions are based on the whole pledge total they make? therefore will need to keep an eye for announcements? 

 

Thanks guys :D <3 Mucho love :) 

So yes, the most likely outcome at this time is that the Hut you mention would be an Option, something like +$25 or +$40 or similar. I honestly do not know the price, we have not yet received our formal quote from China which would allow us to price it properly. Regardless.

 

You would increase your pledged amount by that amount, and then choose it in the Pledge Manager. So if you had pledged nothing, you now pledge $X, and if you had pledged $100 already you now pledge $100+$X. ($125, $140, whatever the reality is). 

 

To explain the Bold bit:

 

We will open the project with an assortment of models that form the basis for the Bones IV Core Set. As funds are raised to pay for the molds needed to make each set, we offer a Stretch Goal - an additional new, higher goal. For instance, the initial goal might be $30,000 to make these 24 models. the next goal - the first Stretch Goal - might be "at $50,000, we can also make these 5 models, which follow this theme (maybe they're all wizards, or all Trolls, or all fly)". Each time we hit a new goal, we announce another new goal. Eventually we run out of time and or backers, and that's the end of the new things we can add and make.

 

Each time we announce that we reached a goal and here is our next goal, an email automatically goes out to all of the backers, sent from kickstarter.com. You can watch the site itself for news and updates, chat with other backers, Matt, Ron, Talin, several of the sculptors and myself, have your questions answered, and be a little silly and enthusiastic, or you can wait for emails to arrive in your inbox and visit the project site only when you want to modify your pledge to include new rewards and goals. How much you decide to interact with the platform and community is really up to you. A lot of the forum members here spend time over there interacting, making friends, and being generally helpful, and I spend every minute I am not with my family or asleep over there trying to help people with their questions.

 

It can appear a very complex system form the outside, but once you have seen it in operation it makes a lot of sense and is really quite simple. Complexity comes from the number of rewards you must choose among (few people actually get one of everything).

 

I suggest looking at Bones 3's front page. You will see several very large and slightly overwhelming images at the top, but as you scroll down you will see how each individual stretch goal was released with a target goal, and a discrete set of models.

 

just to showcase some of them, to help illustrate:

 

I put these behind a spoiler button, because of their size.

 

*Removed spoiler*

 

This process would continue throughout the project, adding new rewards and growing various sets to attract new backers and encourage existing backers to seek more rewards.

 

Thank you for this Bryan :) most helpful, i think i understand, i am sure these guys will help me with the PM if i get stuck, it sounds simple when you explain it like that, but yeah i have tried looking through Bones 3 and 2, i was wondering for a good 12 hours how you work out what people want if they pledge just 10 dollars xD lmao, literally sat here, "but you cant pick what you want with just 10 dollars" O.o "how do you know they want a core set if they pledge 150 dollars" etc... now i see that you then make selections with the PM and using the same email links in to your Kickstarter account xD ...

 

I will get there!! I have a few months to prepare for this!!!! I am very excited, and these look awesome i am absolutely loving minis from all of the Reaper collection, chronoscope, dark heaven and Bones! Bring on 2017 please :D...

 

thank you for explaining again, sorry i am a complete noob to this at the moment, but i will get there :) Thank you everyone :D 

 

Side note - Bones IV - Back to The Bones/Back to Bones

Me and Mrs Bones :D

Many Bones, Handle Him :D 

 

To be honest, you guys will obviously come up with something incredible :D I do like the idea of a bone dog digging up bones XD ... and every week if you haven't met a stretch or get close to a goal he is just digging up parts of a mold or something like that until he reaches the stretch goal :D

I really like this dog idea. ^ Nearly everyone like dogs.

 

Instead of 'Keeping Up With the Joneses' it could be:

 

Bones IV: Digging Up the Boneses.

 

And the special Sophie could be a Nefsokarian looking Mummy Wrapped Sophie. (Have you ever done an undead Sophie?) And the little dog is her sidekick (who is not fooled by her fake mummy-wrap disguise).

YES!!!

 

I also could dig an Archeologist Sophie ( not ubersexy but really digging for fossils)
