WA:Lockdown Kickstarter is LIVE!

There's the full HD version of our campaign video. <br />

For those of you wondering what the campaign is all about, check it out here:...

[Merlin1274]

AWESOME!! Can not wait.. Already backed it. Wish I could do more.. Maybe I can before it expires..

[General Malarky]

Jeez... I wish I could back this... Raising money for the Guard package... Hope I won't be too late!

[General Malarky]

Just three hours and were at about 29%!!!

[Gooer]

I pledged! Wish i could give more though...

[Litmaster]

Cool! Do we have an approximate release date?

[Kc]

Cool! Do we have an approximate release date?

End of October is the target, but we remain flexible on it only because there's a long way to go in the production. We can't move forward with some things without funding, and even running the kickstarter is a huge task in terms of time and effort.

[Windsor995]

I am happy to pledge to the start of this project. Only 20 bucks but every bit helps

[Windsor995]

Never mind, I decided to up it too 80 bucks.....I really want to see this come

[Duffusmonkey]

DAMN IT! I was too late to get a custom message from Bert. I think I even suggested that crazy idea in an old forum post

[LiamKerrington]

Ok, guys and gals... 12 hours into the campaign and it stands at round-about 36% right now. The other 64% might not be a problem, you may think. But I suggest spreading the word as much as possible. The first 30% were achieved within 3 hours only. The other 6-7% required 9 hours to be collected This shows, I guess, two things:
a) the US time-zone for bed-time as a natural brake, and especially b) supposedly save assumption: many to most "serious" WA fans may have backed the campaign already (330 backers at the time of this posting). And keep in mind: three of the few big fishes (LIFE SENTENCE WITHOUT PAROLE!) have been pledged as well; so 327 guys and gals have backed for an amount of roughly 15 grands ...

Just sayin': WE NEED MORE BACKERS!

Best wishes!
Liam

We're looking at another option for voice-mails since those got snagged up so quickly. Another scarred character might join the mix... maybe even a tier WITH the old man~ ;) Watch the facebook feed closely as they will be limited.

We're going to continue to offer new perks, and we could gain more attention if we get a "staff pick".

Also, just as an added thing, we were interviewed here before the KS began: http://www.podcastgarden.com/episode/episode-43-were-still-alive_49106

[Storm]

Woo-hoo!
You are now an official backer of We're Alive: Lockdown.
$25 from me... USD/DKK is going crazy these days sadly... It's around 100USD/670DKK... I MIss the times of 100USD/520DKK... Lol! Aaanyway, I've given a bit too... First time I'm even using KickStarter ^^

[Windsor995]

43% in over a day and half, at this rate you will hit the mark in no time:)

[LiamKerrington]

https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/werealivelockdown/were-alive-lockdown/dailychart.png

Since my last posting: 86 additional backers and thus +4 % ... If the WA fans and WA newcomer-fans keep up this pace we'll do it in roughly 2 1/2 weeks from now ... So, keep it spinning, and especially: Spread the word!

Best wishes!

I'm in for $60 so far, but I'm a little worried that the WA community has already done its thing the first day - and I'm not sure how much this kind of project will grab people who are unfamiliar with WA that are just browsing around Kickstarter, or see this shared on facebook. We should all keep an eye on it and push in a little more if we can.

Certainly the WA-addicts have jumped into the frail during the first couple of hours. Now it is up to us to spread the word and reactivate the non-addict WA fans as well as to find new audio-drama listeners to back this campaign. I start worrying, when things stall around 70% after 3 weeks ...

Edit: Two days into the campaign, and we are already at 44% success. But truth be told: the last 5% are widely spread over the last like 40 hours of the campaign. Keep spreading the word and support the campaign! I want to see "Lockdown" get real.

I didn't get a chance to do it the first day since I'm temporarily away from the States. But I did manage to drop a Benjamin to the cause (and it helped that KC offered an autographed copy of the script).

[Red Shirt]

You have my attention... :excited:

I am sooo glad that I kept WA and WAFC on my phone... I might have missed this otherwise.
I'm traveling for work at the moment, but when I get home next Friday... you can count on my pledge. Fortunately, I actually have a job now that enables me to be able to do so! :)

[Gooer]

Half way in already..... Let's do this people! :britt:

And this link allows you to track the process of this campaign. As you can see - from Wednesday until today the campaign is growing steadily, but slowly.

So let's keep talking about it and spreading the word. If we keep up this pace we might be able to get "Lockdown" into production - but at the current speed, which is not the speed of light (sadly), this won't be any sooner than just a couple of days before the campaign ends. And this is only true, if people support this at a ratio of 3% per day. If this score drops, I wouldn't be so certain anymore ...

Cheers, best wishes!

Might be a dumb question (I'm new to Kickstarter) but if we wanted to donate $30 but they're all sold out are we SOL? I'm guessing the options are either go up to $35 or down to $20 but just wanted to double check.

[General Malarky]

Pretty much, or at least that's what I would think.

[molson]

You can donate any amount you want, but you're only entitled to a reward at or below the amount you donated. For example, if you donated $30, you could chose the $20 reward. A lot of times on kickstarter backers will throw in an extra buck or two past the reward they're getting if they really want to help. Obviously some people have done that here since the total amount raised ends in a 7 at the moment.

[General Malarky]

Yeah, that's it.

[Gooer]

Wonder what happens if we, by chance, didn't make the goal...

[Gnex]

Wonder what happens if we, by chance, didn't make the goal...

I believe if the goal isn't met then nothing happens. They would have the option to re-run the Kickstarter at a different goal amount, etc, etc.....

Traditionally Kickstarters tend to Explode right out the gate, then there is a lull in the middle, and then they boom again near the end once people see that it will meet the goal or be funded.

I tried screaming into a paper bag once... Completely different results.

[LiamKerrington]

Hi there,

currently I start getting nervous. After the incredible kickstart on the first day the campaign has achieved like 21% in nearly two weeks times. With two more weeks down the road I wonder if the next necessary 39% are going to be made ...

So I - again - ask you not (only) to back the campaign, but also to become "rampagingly viral" - so keep talking about it and spreading the word - or in terms of WA: spread the virus, and infect the people ... !

Best wishes!
Liam

Just to keep you updated about the progress of the campaign:

At the times of this edit 35% to go ... We can do it! Here some kind of motivation speech:

If we make 40k by Wednesday, 3 pages of lockdown will be released to backers:

[General Malarky]

Oh! I know this one!!!

Burt's "Pet Project" is the walkie-talkie c4 thing, umm... They figure out that it works On Season 2... Chapter 22... Part 1... About 9:00 minutes into the episode!!!!

EDIT: Looked through Kickstarter comments, suspicions confirmed :(, answer already posted.

[General Malarky]

As of 11:40 PM Pacific Time, we have approximately six days and $8,769 to go! Can we make it?

[Storm]

It's a Little unfortunate that those first five pages are just Pictures, at least for me. Hehe. My screen reader can't handle those, and I doubt I can OCR them...
Or maybe Gmail.com just shows them in a weird way O.O
Oh well.... But I'm glad the early goal was met at least ^^ Let's hope the rest will come in too.

[LiamKerrington]

Hi.

A few days ago I was bothered with how the campaign evolved. And I felt like:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IXCK1EyP4s

But the last two days make my heart leap and leap and leap... As Kc said on reggit - I, too, am confident that we'll do it! "Lockdown"'s gonna get real and gonna be cool ...

Best wishes!

If you contact me at kc@zombiepodcast.com with you backer name, I will send you a pdf link. We couldn't post PDF's on Kickstarter and our file hosting limits to 100 DL.

The "like" from me is for the highlighted part of the message. *snip*edited* Kc takes care of the other "issue" - awesome "customer-", or better: fandom-care! Kc, you rock!

Hello.

During the #WALockdown-ks-campaign Kc and Grayson have announced this: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/werealivelockdown/were-alive-lockdown/posts/1274772 on 25th June - a new picture challenge:

My contribution:

3218

What's yours?

Best wishes!
Liam

[General Malarky]

Grayson Stone wants 60 grand now?!! Good luck with that.

[Gooer]

Grayson Stone wants 60 grand now?!! Good luck with that.

Unfortunately, i doubt we will :/

[General Malarky]

$1,049 left!

[Kc]

Grayson Stone wants 60 grand now?!! Good luck with that.

They're stretch goals for a reason. We're allocating additional funds past our goal to make something the fans will enjoy, it's a win/win.

[LiamKerrington]

Hello everyone!

Unless something unexpected happens, "#WALockdown"'s gonna get real. During the last couple of hours there has been a giant leap in fundings - and more than enough to get things real. Still 19 hours to go - let's see where this is gonna end ...

Thanks so much Liam. Looking at the graph, wow, it was a steady stream of funding through the whole month. PHEw! Almost in the clear!

I wonder if there is something tattooed on the back of KC's head. Did you see how they just walked right past him?

Kc, do you have something to confess?

[General Malarky]

Yeah, Kc... What's going on?

[LiamKerrington]

Hello.

I am sooo happy. "Lockdown"'s gonna get real; and during the last like two days the campaign went a lot better than what I expected like 10 days ago. Lockdown has proven that the WA fandom is a huge zombie-agent infested family, whose members stick together in "times of dire need". Looking into the future (but not wanting to put pressure on Kc, crew and cast) I see more Tales from WA getting real. Time will tell. But for now I look forward to listening to "Lockdown" some time in Q4.

Congrats to the WA crew. I haven't backed much stuff on Kickstarter - really just things from friends of friends, but I love that I had the opportunity to back this project. We're Alive gave me a ridiculous amount of entertainment, and all I gave back before this was a T-shirt purchase and and my presence at the finale show.

Kickstarter survey emails have been sent to backers.

Did anyone else get an outgoing voicemail recording to go with their digital download of Lockdown? I have to tell them what I want Burt to say on my recording. What the hell do I want Burt to say?
