I will reveal the final name next week on the live stream and then we will make a cool Clan logo and banner to go with it :D
Admin update
The Kickstarter processing is almost over. Everything should be finalized by Monday. So its time to talk about BackerKit. BakcerKit will allow us to efficiently collect all the info we need from you all to complete the backer rewards via surveys.
We will give you a heads-up before we send the survey so that you can watch for it. You will not need to create a BackerKit account to answer your survey. The invitation email will contain a link to your personal survey. It is important to submit your responses as quickly as you can since we need this information to process your rewards.
If you need to change your survey responses, add or remove add-ons, or update your shipping information, you can click on the link in your survey email again or request your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page. (This page will only start working after we send the surveys out.)
If you prefer, you can just message me and give me your information, but answering your survey will help us get your rewards out to you quicker. BackerKit helps us save lots of time by streamlining the survey process, automating data organization, and providing us with pledge management software to make it easy to process your pledge reward shipments.
If you used Facebook to log into your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey link will be sent to the email you used for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you'd prefer to use, please message me.
I hope that's all quite clear. If not please message me.
I will be doing a Twitch Stream working on the levels in about half an hour and will answer any questions you might have there as well.

Thanks and have a great weekend otherwise!

Greetings Tribe!
There is still a bit of admin going on behind the scenes with Kickstarter. Kickstarter is still collecting the final outstanding payments from credit cards and then will make the payment to us in the next week or so. We have completed our registration with Backerkit and Stripe and our forms are all set up and ready to go once the Kickstarter funds have been transferred.
Our Kickstarter Clan
As promised here is the form to vote on your favorite Clan Name for you wonderful goblins that will forever be remembered to make this game a reality.
I have collected all the names from the comments section.
Development Never Stops
The team is still hard at work on the awesome game and I will try do a twitch stream tomorrow morning (NZ time) showing off the AMAZING new level streaming feature we have completed to allow for the procedural level system we will have in the game now. This is a major update to the blueprint method we used before. Come and check in and say hi if this interests you. I will as always also be taking questions about the campaign and game.
Goblins!!
And of course as always here are some of the new goblins we have completed!! :D
The Enforcer
The Butcher
Other Projects
Some fellow Kiwi game developers have launched Kickstarter campaigns of their own and I would like to ask you to have a look at their campaigns.
This awesome team form the university are making an important contribution to games for the visually impaired. Its a collection of arcade-style games specially tailored to be played without sight.
This is a sleek 2D pixel generated platform adventure game by 2015's Kiwi Game Starter winner
Chat again soon you wonderful goblins!

We did it!
I don't have the words to describe how happy and grateful I feel right now. Its been a long few weeks and it's been an incredible experience. I've digitally and physically met some of you and hope to get a lot more of you as we continue the development of the game and form many more clans as this tribe grows.
I will send another update in a day or 2 explaining all the next steps that will follow with sruveys and forums and starting the process with how we will do the naming and designing of your goblins, heroes etc. for now relax and know you have contributed to a truly special project and bask in our combined elation and gratitude.
Because I lack the words, here are gifs that maybe reflect some of the emotions I've felt the last few hours:
Thank you all, really, you have changed our lives. Now lets make an awesome game together! <3
Sincerely from myself and everyone at Lost Goblin

Amass the Tribe!
I am blown away by the support we have received over this campaign and the number of goblins we have gathered to the cause. We are now at over 750 goblins in this Kickstarter Clan - and its only the beginning!
I ask you all to come up with a cool name for this clan that is appropriate for the Kickstarter to identify this clan and we will add it to the list of clan names in the game. Write it in the comments of this update and lets see if we can come up with something cool.
Sound the horns! Beat the drums!
This is my final request to call out to all your friends and family and social media followers to have a look at the campaign and see if they pledge and want to be part of this clan and tribe.
Will we make 50 000? Could we possibly get to the 55 000 stretch goal? (only a few large pledges would do it)
Can we make it to 800 goblins?
More clans will form after the Kickstarter but none will have been as important to the success and creation of the game than all of you. Thank you all so much from the very bottom of my tiny goblin heart <3
I cast a great blessing on you all!
Final 72 hours

Greetings Tribe!
We are now heading into our final 72 hours of the campaign. So I want to use this opportunity to update you on what is coming up after the campaign.
Once the campaign has been completed you will be receiving backerkit surveys so we can get all the needed info for delivery of the physical goods as well as start the process for the namers and designers.
We will also be setting up the forums where we can continue the conversations with the forum backers about the project and it will be a place where you can get inside information about the project and vote on certain items and help the development of the project with useful feedback.
As for the game itself we are still hard at work on it as always and the alpha and above backers will be receiving the game in January.
With that out the way I ask you all to keep sharing the campaign. I have seen many Kickstarters gain a MASSIVE surge of pledges in the final 2-3 days of a campaign as people realize that time is running out and it will be their last chance to be a backer.
Feel free to use this image on your social media!
I think that should all be clear, if you have any questions whatsoever please message me.
