#thebindingofisaac
You know how most kickstarters do those producer credits so people can get their name on something cool and feel all neato? Well my idea is better!
Today we have added a new tier to the kickstarter that allows you to get your name on a custom headstone that will remain in my yard for as long as I’m around!
Rumor has it once your name is on a headstone your soul will be bound to wherever it’s placed… so basically by doing this you are agreeing to haunt me !!!! Spooky Huh? Well I guess technically you will only haunt me if you die before me so think of it as a race.
Here is the nitty gritty.
In the haunted tier you will get.
1. custom headstone **with whatever info you want on it, you’re full name ( or whatever name you go by ) and some bonus text like “why did I back this tier? “ placed in my yard for all to see.
2. A picture of your head stone with me next to it looking emotional ( I will choose what emotion at random )
3. A picture of the full grave yard ( all headstones together )
4. A custom made hand drawn card.
5. Everything else in the Mod tools tier.
Are you ready to haunt me for eternity? Or at least till I die? Or maybe there is no after life at all and this is a giant scam! Either way it’s going to fuck with my neighbors and it looks cool!
Bring it on you ghosts!!!
*very limited! i can only fit 10 of these in my yard!
**the place we are having make these probably wont be down with horribly offensive text, so keep that in mind.
it feels amazing to finally show off these really awesome figures. as some of you know its been a personal dream of mine to have professional binding of isaac figures made, ive tried to do short run hand made ones in the past but these really take the cake.
each vinyl figure stands about 3 inches high and comes with a clear plastic base. they are all professionally manufactured and come individually packaged.
the 4 figures available are Isaac, Cain, Maggy and Judas.
these figures are exclusive to kickstarter, and you can only get them on The Hoarder tier and above. i HIGHLY recommend getting your hands on these, its really easy to bump your pledge up and The Hoarder tier also features a huge 4 player game mat (made of mouse pad like material), exclusive tshirt and a uncut sheet of monster cards straight from the printer for collectors.
you also get all the extras we have been packing into each box and the gold box version of the game with the games expansion. ( so far we are including 2 stickers, a bunch of extra cards and the digital ost for the game, but there is more to come )
you guys have 17 days left to get your hands on this exclusive stuff!
