"Don't worry. We'll be back after this commercial break."
Dear backers, today we hit $16,000. Never thought this freak show would make it. Things are going to get quiet real soon as we work out the numbers, talk to factories, and get the products into your hands. Don't worry, we won't be gone for long. We've handled productions this big before so despite my surprise, it's an exciting one.
There's less than 24 hours left, so if you want to pick some stuff up this is the time to do so, especially the pony plushies.
"This is cute......"
"But this is better!"
Got some quick updates for you folks. First off, a new pony sample that is 12 inches has been completed. We only had a small edit to make to, so they are now ready to go into production. I wanted to get this done in advance because I want to make sure no delays are caused by the plushies.
"Wait, that's not green....."
Second it looks like you folks overwhelmingly voted to see GREEN HELL. Well that's great, cause honestly, I've been looking into making a RED HELL as well. So this is how we're going to do it. When BLUE HELL is out the door, we'll launch RED HELL, and when RED HELL is nearly delivered, we'll launch GREEN HELL.
That'll complete a full RGB HELL trilogy. Maybe we'll even do something special afterwards. After that, who knows, maybe we'll do an emotional whiplash by running a cutesy pony campaign after three projects of HELL.
To get you folks hyped up for RED HELL there's a little (Well big) teaser below, but you can view the opening AND 3 of our RED HELL guests at the pre-launch page. Maybe do me a favor and click the "Count me in" button.
Don't worry, RED (And Green) HELL will have a free digital pet just like BLUE HELL. I know you folks really loved those.
Anyway, I'll see you folks later. From here on out, nothing but boring updates until products are shipped and in your hands. See you folks again (In character), hopefully in just a few months.
TEASER FOR RED HELL
"Have you heard the good news?"
BE NOT AFRAID!
God's only son is here to tell you the good news. The gates to RED HELL are open, and the sinners of the universe shall be cleansed of all evils on their way up. All sinners are FORGIVEN, all you must do is FORGIVE yourself.
Except you Satan. You gotta stay until you at least attempt to show that you can go against your nature by using your power of persuasion for GOOD for once.
Satan says: "MY DEAR LORD HAS OFFERED ME A SIMPLE TASK FOR FREEDOM? GOD IS GOOD AND MERCIFUL. I'LL SHOW HIM I CAN LEARN TO TEMPT MEN INTO HOLY WAYS."
What is RED HELL?
While HELL is where sinners go, RED HELL is a FALSE HELL. When allowed to take the path up to Heaven you may be so overcome by GUILT that you damn yourself by your own hands by rejecting Heaven and walking into the false HELL. While many people left HELL once told they could be cleansed of their crimes, many hold out in RED HELL because in their mind their "Crimes" are too terrible to be forgiven, or they simply have never considered a life where they are not being punished.
In this campaign backers will play as angels (or devils) on Satan's shoulder as he attempts to earn his right to leave HELL while being watched over by Jesus. The choices and comments backers make will matter, as new "transformed" versions of the basic pins will be made based on how much we help (turning them angelic) or hurt (turning them into a high demon) the "sinners."
Taking the form of a wereburrisk (like a werewolf, but for trauma) the abandoned one refuses to leave the gates of RED HELL. In life, his parents disowned him for his life choices. For "changing" in ways they did not approve of, and going down a "wrongful" path in life.
The abandoned one had never felt more like himself in his entire life, but he lived and died with the guilt of "failing his parents." Internalizing this, he willingly entered RED HELL, and when he saw that his parents were not in it, he assumed it was he who was wrong. When the gates to Heaven opened for all sinners opened, he refused to go, for he heard that all sins will be removed, and while he knows he's BAD, this EVIL is his identity.
Jesus says: "This poor soul doesn't realize that staying true to yourself is not an evil. Like the others he wasn't destined for RED HELL, he walked into it willingly believing he deserved the punishment."
