⚔️ Final Chance to Unlock the Enemy Coliseum – Late Pledges Now Open!
about 1 month ago – Wed, Nov 13, 2024 at 08:00:33 AM

Hello everyone!

After a few days of rest (the Kickstarter campaign really wore us out!), we're back with exciting news. Thanks to your incredible support, we reached amazing milestones in our Kickstarter campaign, and you helped us go beyond what we ever expected! However, we came very close to unlocking one of the stretch goals: the Enemy Coliseum.

Late Pledges on Backerkit

That’s why, after considering your requests, we’ve decided to open Late Pledges on BackerKit. This way, those who missed out or joined us a bit later will have the chance to help make this Enemy Coliseum stretch goal a reality. It will only be available for a limited time, so don’t miss this final opportunity!

🔗 You can access it through this link: https://ties-soul-link.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

Also, as a reminder, just like on Kickstarter, shipping fees won’t be charged at this time. We’ll collect them just before we ship to ensure we can adjust the prices as best as possible.

Backer Surveys Coming Soon

Finally, we’re finishing up the setup for the backer surveys, and we’ll be sending them out very soon. We appreciate your patience as we work out these final details to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Thank you again for making Ties: Soul Link possible! 

Thanks! 186% Funded!
about 1 month ago – Thu, Nov 07, 2024 at 09:21:22 AM

We've reached the end of the campaign, and although I'm completely exhausted, I'm incredibly happy and proud of all the support we’ve received to reach 186%! Even though this is only the first step, I can't thank you all enough for joining me on this journey and believing in Ties: Soul Link. Thanks to you, this dream is now a reality.

We want to let you know that we are already working on the survey to send out to backers, but please bear with us and have a little patience! We want to make sure everything is well-prepared and organized so that you receive your rewards without any issues. In the coming days, we will also announce the winners of the NPC + pet giveaways on each of our social media platforms.

We'll also be sharing information soon on how to access the VIP Discord channel. Meanwhile, we invite you to join our Discord server to share any thoughts or questions you may have about Ties: Soul Link. I'll personally be there to answer your questions and chat with you about the game!

Lastly, I’d like to recommend another wonderful metroidvania that’s currently in its late pledges phase and looks amazing. Check it out!

Layers Deep

You are a little onion who has just sprouted near the end of Autumn, and it seems the Southern Gothic world around you is beginning to fall into ruin. Explore this hand-drawn non-linear 2D open world to make your character stronger so that you can make the climb to the surface world and hopefully to your salvation. Gather upgrades, and use them to access new areas and get lost in this world inspired by Hollow Knight and Over the Garden Wall.

Find Layers Deep on Kickstarter here!

Once again, thank you all so much for being a part of this adventure!

Final Hours! 25k Reached & New Stretch Goals
about 1 month ago – Thu, Nov 07, 2024 at 03:00:13 AM

We’re nearing the end of our Kickstarter campaign, and thanks to your support, we’ve reached the 25,000 € stretch goal! This means you’ll have the chance to collaborate in designing a special enemy for the game. What will the final result look like? I can’t wait to see it!

With the clock ticking down, our next goal is within reach: 30,000 € to unlock the Enemy Coliseum, a challenge where you can put your skills to the test, facing waves of enemies in epic battles.

We’re also excited to announce a new stretch goal at 35,000 €: the Cat Breeding & Racing mini-game! In this adorable bonus adventure, Kiro will be able to find, raise, and train kittens to compete in thrilling races. 🐱

Don’t forget, you can add add-ons to your pledge—an excellent way to customize your rewards and help us reach our final goals!

Once again, thanks for making this journey possible. Help us share the campaign and unlock these rewards in the final hours. Thanks!

48 Hours Left! Giveaway + Stretch Goal.
about 2 months ago – Tue, Nov 05, 2024 at 08:42:30 AM

We’re in the final stretch! Only 48 hours left until our TIES: Soul Link Kickstarter campaign comes to an end. It’s been an intense few days of hard work, and thanks to your support, we’ve achieved so much! 🙌

Before it’s over, we want to remind you that you can still enter our giveaway for a chance to appear in the game alongside your pet 🦊🐶🐾. The giveaway is live on both Twitter and Instagram:

You can double your chances by participating on both platforms! Don’t miss out!

Lastly, remember that we’re just a step away from our 25,000€ goal. If we reach it, we’ll unlock a stretch goal that lets all backers join together to design a special enemy that will be part of the game. It’s a fantastic opportunity to leave your mark on TIES: Soul Link! Will you help us reach it by sharing the campaign on your social media to help us go even further?

Now, we’d like to share another Kickstarter campaign that we think you’ll love, especially if you’re as big a fan of cats as we are. It’s currently in the Late Pledges, so take a look!

CATCELONA

More than 300 cats are hidden around the city. Some of them are concealed in the architecture, others in the dark, and others in plain sight. Sometimes you'll also need to solve a puzzle to see them. Find them all and guide them to a secure place: the Garden of Cats will be waiting for them.
Find them in your PC, Nintendo Switch, Android or iOS device. Even in your Playstation or Xbox if you wait a bit longer!

You can find Catcelona here.

Thank you all once again for your support. Let’s make this final push together!
