Hawthorn changes
Late Pledges for Hawthorn will end on Friday, July 11th at 4pm ET.
Less than 72 hours before Hawthorn’s Kickstarter Late Pledge campaign ends!
Last chance to secure the exclusive Kickstarter in-game items and be a part of our early Village Council community with the “ Kickstarter Supporter ” role and your chosen tiered Discord role, as well as other exciting rewards!
We are so thankful to our community for successfully funding the main campaign last month over 211%! With Kickstarter’s the Late Pledge feature, we were able to keep the campaign open for people who are just now hearing about the game and/or Kickstarter and who want to join us on this adventure.
Today, does mark the final push on the Kickstarter platform for Hawthorn and we will need your help to reach one last stretch goal and that is the “ Village Morale System.” This is the big, exciting 2nd layer of progression for the game outside of your individual character progression and it determines how the village will be able to coordinate and grow together. It will affect your relationships and individual progression. Trust us when we say this is one of those systems, we are very excited about expanding over time.
Consider pledging now to help us shoot past this goal all while celebrating the 3 year anniversary of NEARstudios in the process!
Backing the game on Kickstarter allows us to maintain creative autonomy to bring this game to the community the way we have always dreamed!
Part of this celebration is our team working with our early content creator supporters/collaborators and providing access to the Hawthorn Proof-of-Concept playtest, so they can help us bring new folks into this wonderful community and help us reach that last stretch goal, with less than $8k to go! Please like and subscribe to any creators you see out there making content about Hawthorn as they are helping us promote the Kickstarter organically, since we don’t have a the budget for marketing at the moment. We'd like to spread the love around and support them as much as we can in these early days.
After Friday, July 11th at 4pm ET, our current backers will then have an additional 72 hours to change their pledge within the Pledge Manager, which will be accessible after the official close of the Late Pledge Campaign. We will send out a reminder announcement then.
Don't forget to Wishlist the game, signup on our the Hawthorn website and encourage others to do the same since word of mouth and every little bit of traction goes a long way!
Let’s end this Kickstarter chapter on a strong note and build something special together!
Forever grateful,
The Hawthorn Dev Team
