2nd Anniversary Party and Sale!
over 8 years ago – Thu, Oct 13, 2016 at 07:41:03 PM

As we told you last week, Our virtual anniversary party kicks off tomorrow, Friday, October 14th at Noon Eastern. Come join us live on Twitch as we reminisce about 2 years of Sentinels Digital, listen to some music, play some games and look ahead to what’s coming up in the future. We promise some surprises as well!

 

In addition to our stream tomorrow, we also have a great line up of streamers that will be playing Sentinels live all weekend. Check out SentinelsDigital.com for the full schedule. In celebration, each streamer will be giving away a copy of Season 2 for Steam during their time slot. We’ve left it up to them to decide how to award it but you have to watch to win, so make sure you’re tuning in!

And what anniversary would be complete without a sale? We weren’t going to let the cat out of the bag until tomorrow, but the discounts are already live on iTunes so we might as well tell you - Sentinels of the Multiverse and Season Pass 1 will be on sale all weekend at the following prices:

• Sentinels of the Multiverse - 99¢, any store, any platform
• Season Pass 1 - $19.99, any store, any platform

(All pricing USD, see your store for local pricing)

For those not keeping track, this is the lowest price EVER for Sentinels! Help us spread the word that there’s never been a better time to start saving the multiverse! The sale pricing goes live on different stores at different times so if you are not seeing the discounts, just check back at some point over the weekend. (iTunes sale is live now, other stores will begin over the next 24 hours)

Sentinels has only become what it is today thanks to you, and we couldn’t be happier! Thanks for your ongoing support, and we can’t wait to hang out with you live tomorrow on Twitch.

Here’s to the next 2 years and beyond.

Retro Listening/Viewing Party and Anniversary Live Stream October 14th, Tachyon Shipping Update
over 8 years ago – Wed, Oct 05, 2016 at 08:14:46 PM

On October 16th, Sentinels of the Multiverse: The Video Game will be turning 2 years old! To celebrate our Anniversary, we're throwing a three day long extravaganza on Oct. 14th, 15th, and 16th. The festivities begin at noon Eastern time on Friday the 14th with a special episode of #SentinelsLive... which will also feature - (drumroll please) - our next Retro Listening Party.

As promised in the Squish Goals™, we still have 2 more retro listening parties to throw. We thought our anniversary would be a perfect time to revisit the original game! Join us on our Twitch Channel all afternoon as Jean-Marc and Jennifer revisit the music and environments from the original release of Sentinels of the Multiverse. After that, the rest of the Handelabra Games team will be online playing your favorite game and reminiscing about the last 2 years.

However, we can't party alone. How can you help make this bash a smash hit? WELL....

Final Funding & Stretch Goal Numbers
over 8 years ago – Fri, Sep 23, 2016 at 10:13:23 PM

The iOS discount period has ended, bringing the crowd-funding for Season 2 officially to a close. We can now state that through all Season 2 fundraising efforts, we have succeeded in raising $144,213. This was Handelabra Games’ first foray into crowd-funding, and we’re so pleased with the outcome.

Here’s a list of what your efforts have accomplished: 

• Vengeance development is fully funded 
• Villains of the Multiverse development is fully funded 
• OblivAeon development is fully funded 
• Development of all remaining mini-packs is fully funded 
• All remaining Variants will be brought to the video game 
• Omnitron-U came to the video game early 
• The Foil Hero Pack will be brought to the video game 
• The Foil Villain Pack will be brought to the video game 
• The whole world is playing the Season 2 Preview Pack right now 
• Challenge Modes will be added to the video game 
• All backers and pre-orders will receive a free Season 2 soundtrack 
• Jean-Marc will create a 21-track hero theme album, and all backers and pre-orders will get a free copy

You have accomplished so much and we wanted to list it out so that everyone could really see it all in one place. The above is the sum result of Sentinels of the Multiverse Season 2 Kickstarter. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again:

Next Steps

We know that some of you will be disappointed about what we have not yet accomplished: Campaign Mode and additional stretch goals. Stories of the Multiverse would have been unlocked upon reaching $150k, but we unfortunately fell short.

However, as we have said many times throughout the campaign, while this means that campaign mode isn’t fully funded (and therefore not guaranteed), it also doesn’t mean that it will never happen! We still want to make it, along with an Arena Mode, more heroic theme songs, and other great things we haven’t even talked about. We just have to make sure we can find a way to do so in a financially responsible manner.

We have a lot of work to do in the coming months on all the remaining deliverables for Season 2 and its achieved stretch goals. While we’re working on that, we’ll be thinking about how we might still make campaign mode and the other stretch goals a reality.

For now, we’ll just say another heartfelt thank you, and get back to work on Season 2. Stay tuned for previews and updates here, on social media, and on #SentinelsLive every Tuesday.

Sounds of Victory Achieved - Story Mode Within Reach!
over 8 years ago – Thu, Sep 22, 2016 at 05:28:49 PM

The iOS launch is proceeding incredibly well, despite the initial delay. As expected, we flew past $125k, unlocking The Sounds of Victory: Part 1 so everyone can now look forward to an album of heroic theme songs from our very own Jean-Marc! For a taste of what’s to come, have a listen to Legacy’s theme in its listening party debut.

Given our total yesterday, this stretch goal was all but assured, but what about story mode? Sales yesterday were so good that we are already more than halfway to the $150k needed to achieve Stories of the Multiverse. 

Current Total: $138,573

That puts us less than $11.5k away from the next stretch goal which translates into just 571 more copies of Season Pass 2. During the Android launch this past weekend, we sold 30% more copies on day 2 of the sale than day 1. If that holds with iOS, we could sell up to 1000 copies today and achieve the stretch goal - but we’ll need your help to do so!

Tell your friends, and help spread the word on Twitter and Facebook now to help make the Stories of the Multiverse a reality! 

Season Pass 2 Now Available Everywhere - Help Reach Stretch Goals on iOS Now!
over 8 years ago – Wed, Sep 21, 2016 at 05:29:11 PM

Sales of Season Pass 2 have now finally begun on iOS! We apologize for the delay, but now that the tubes are unstuck, Sentinels players the world over can partake in the Season 2 Preview Pack. 

Variant Hunt Begins

Now that we’ve overcome this small turn of events, it’s time to start the search for another setback… a Dark Watch Setback. As always with a new Variant, the first person to prove they’ve unlocked him will earn eternal glory in the Hall of Fame. To claim the prize, you must capture a screenshot of the moment you unlock the Variant and be the first to share it to us either via Twitter, or on our Facebook page.

Work with your fellow Sentinels to find the new Variant at our Forums, the Steam Forums or the Greater than Games Forums.

Stretch Goal Progress

As you know, mobile sales of Season Pass 2 during the 48-hour mobile discount periods are being counted towards stretch goals, and we’re about to crack the next one!

CURRENT TOTAL: $124,773

After sales on Google and Amazon from this past weekend, and the 2 hours of iOS sales recorded last night, we’re now less than $300 from unlocking The Sounds of Victory: Part 1. We’re counting that one as a pretty forgone conclusion, but we’ll confirm it for you once we see today’s sales. Follow our progress here!

If iOS players can rally for 1262 more copies of Season Pass 2 over the next 2 days, campaign mode will be a reality. Is it a stretch? Absolutely… But that’s why they call them “Stretch Goals!” Tell your friends and together we can exceed expectations!
