The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls Requiem

We Surpassed the First Kickstarter! And Social Goals
over 3 years ago – Sat, Jun 05, 2021 at 01:53:01 AM

Umm... we just surpassed the BOI: Four Souls Kickstarter… in 17 hours and unlocked all-new Isaac tattoos which we are busy designing right now. :)

We’re all delirious from lack of sleep. We had to call some people to confirm we weren’t dreaming. We’ve been saying it all day, but thank you. It’s incredible to behold the enthusiasm and the community support.

Speaking of community support, Edmund announced the first social goals on Twitter today and you’ve already blown through the first group:

We’re onto the second set of goals, THE MINES! You can participate on Twitter by tagging @edmundmcmillen and @themaestroteam 

By defeating Downpour, you’ve unlocked your first set of Warp Zones. 

You’ll know Ash from The End is Nigh! His Eternal Item has some fun new features. Leveling abilities: can level up, level down, or both. To level up means to put a level counter on the object that is leveling up. I bet those tears y’all unlocked would work great. To level down means to remove a level counter from the object if you’re able to.

You’ll also have noticed the Chunk of Amber from Gish! This lil fella from the Loot Deck can get you anywhere from 2-12 coins!

And finally we have Brea in Distress also from Gish! That’s 2 from End is Nigh! & 2 from Gish! for those keeping score. This is an Event Card in the Monster Deck. When spawned, it makes you roll in an attempt to save her. If she lives, she becomes a trinket that raises your HP!

Hustle through THE MINES! We want to see what Edmund has in store for the next Warp Zone!

Edmund will be live streaming here at 10pm tonight PST to answer any Kickstarter questions and celebrate an incredible first day! Please join us.

Edmund’s been spoiling unlocked Alt Art Cards all morning! There is a new Alt Art Card unlocked for every 1000 backers! Here’s 5:

BoardGameGeek

BoardGameGeek.com is THE website for any and all tabletop games. We have a unique opportunity to really help get the buzz going for Binding of Isaac: Four Souls Requiem over the next 30 days. If you search Binding of Isaac: Four Souls Requiem, or just click HERE, it helps drive the game up the HOTNESS chart, which in turn means more backers and even more Stretch Goals. It would be amazing if our fans helped get us in the Top 10 on the HOTNESS. We know it sounds cliché to say it’s been a dream of ours, but… it’s been a dream of ours. If you also click that heart button in the header to become a fan, it helps even more.

FAQs

Please check the FAQs section of the Kickstarter page. It will have answers to a lot of the questions being asked in the comments section. We will keep adding to it as we see more questions.

Add-ons

The add-on section is near the bottom of the page. You can add money for the add-ons in Kickstarter as “bonus money.” By doing it in Kickstarter, you help propel the Kickstarter closer to the Stretch Goals, which helps everyone! The add-ons will also be available in the BackerKit pledge manager which launches after the Kickstarter campaign ends.

T-Shirt Sizes

We currently had planned to provide shirts in sizes XS-3XL (US sizes), but we’re emailing the shirt guy now after seeing comments in the Kickstarter to see if 4XL is also an option.

We have also heard your concerns related to shipping and VAT, particularly for the EU. Our shipping estimates are provided to us by our numerous fulfillment hubs across the world. We do not make money on the shipping costs and are committed to being transparent so there are no surprises in Backerkit. In compliance with current EU and UK laws, VAT must be charged after the campaign closes, so we have estimated these costs by country as best as possible based on the total price of the order. European countries outside of the EU will not be charged VAT. We have done everything possible to keep these extra costs low, and again want to make sure there are no surprises.

We're Just Getting Started!

Our Friends,

Wow, thank you! It’s hard to believe, it’s difficult to process, we funded in just 3 minutes and hit $1,000,000 in under 90 minutes. There are literally no words, but I’m going to try. We are completely honored and humbled by the amazing support backers from literally all over the world have shown us. We called, you answered and all we can say is THANK YOU!

There is so much to talk about: the stretch goals, the Alt Card unlocks, the social goals, but right now we just want to celebrate you and answer a few of your most asked questions.

I can’t see any Add-ons.

The add-on section is near the bottom of the page. You can add money for the add-ons in Kickstarter as “bonus money.” By doing it in the Kickstarter you help propel the Kickstarter closer to the Stretch Goals, which helps everyone! The add-ons will also be available in the BackerKit pledge manager which launches after the Kickstarter campaign ends.

I Precommited, how do I know if I got the Bonus Cards?

You’ll see those cards in the Backerkit once the Kickstarter is over.

I want to buy several tiers, how can I do that?

Kickstarter will only allow one level pledge per account but you can add most of the items as add-ons by adding money to your pledge. You can see the available add-ons near the bottom of our campaign.

What is the difference between the 1st and 2nd edition Base Game (aka the First Kickstarter and this one)?

The Second Edition includes all new backgrounds, some rebalanced cards (these are also available as the rebalance pack at some levels) and the cards will all have a consistent coloring, thickness, and finish.

For EU Backers is VAT included in the shipping cost?

VAT is not included in the shipping cost. Shipping and VAT will be charged in BackerKit.

I backed The Mega Tier for $800, but I'm being told it doesn't exist, what do I do?

If you backed THE MEGA TIER, please go to Manage My Tier and then Edit Reward. Please select the new $800 tier called "Everything But The Sketch." The original Mega Tier should not have included the sketch and Edmund is not able to draw that many sketches. We apologize for the confusion and thank you for understanding. As a thank you and apology, we'll have some bonuses for you added to the tier. If you need any further assistance or only backed this tier because of the sketch please reach out to [email protected] and we'll help you through those individual issues.

Until next time, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, the first few hours has been amazing!
