Darkest Dungeon Newsletter Issue #6 View this email in your browser Tales from Below - Issue #6 A Darkest Hello to all of you supporters! Pre-Orders Closing Oct 7th! We are closing pre-orders (aka "Slacker Backer options") THIS COMING TUESDAY, so if you've been on the fence, we encourage you to check out the options and purchase one!



Currently, we offer two premium (more than the base game) pre-order packages on our website:



DELUXE PACKAGE ($50)

Includes: Early Access once the game launches on Steam in early 2015.

Original Soundtrack (digital download) by Stuart Chatwood. (will be available at game full release)

PDF Art Book, with tons of concept art and in-game illustrations by our Creative Director and Artist Chris Bourassa.

PDF Adventuring Journal and Estate Map.

Hero Class variant (exact class variant is still TBA).

ULTIMATE PACKAGE ($95)

Includes: Everything listed above in the Deluxe package, PLUS:

Personalize your own recruitable hero. You will select from our existing classes and quirks and give the hero a name of your choosing (subject to our approval). This hero will be available to recruit in game!)

Design an equippable in-game trinket. Trinkets are items that heroes can equip and gain bonuses. You will get to pick from available powers and name the item.

Question: What about the Base Game / Art Books / Soundtrack?

If you want to play Darkest Dungeon but don't want all the extras, don't worry! You can just buy the game when it comes out on Steam.



The Tuesday cut-off is just for people who want those packages. We will also be selling art books and soundtracks individually in the future, so don't worry there either.



Question: What Will Early Access Cost? Will it cost less than the Deluxe pre-order package?

Yes--Early Access by itself will cost much less than $50. We haven't announced final pricing yet. If you don't want all the extras, you can just wait for Steam! Early Access Timeline Confirmed Early Access will be coming exclusively to Steam in January or February 2015. We'll keep you updated with an exact date and price when we set it.



All backers/pre-orderers who pledged at $20 and higher will gain access to Early Access. If you backed at $15, you'll gain access to the full game when it releases later in the year. We are also working on options to allow upgrading should you wish to change to an Early Access level pledge.



For now, just start preparing yourself! If you haven't pre-ordered, consider saving a few bucks for after the holiday rush, and get ready for some dark, stressful, satisfying turn-based dungeoneering!



'Cause it's coming for you... Screenshots Aside from all this business, we've been making tons of progress on the game! Here are two new screenshots for you: THE QUEST SELECT screen is where you will see what missions are availble in the different parts of your corrupted, infested Estate. Some quests are longer, more diffuclt, and rewarding than others. THE BLACKSMITH is where you can upgrade heroes' armor and weapons. Like all Town Buildings, the Blacksmith itself can be upgraded, providing various benefits. Darkest Dungeon Subreddit! Some Redditors who happen to be Darkest Dungeon fans have set up a very nice subreddit that we've given the official blessing. If you are a Redditor yourself, head on over and join in!



http://www.reddit.com/r/DarkestDungeon Thanks again for your awesome support!



We are working our tails off and can't wait to get to Early Access. Many monsters will be slain. Many heroes will develop unrecoverable emotional baggage. Most of all--much fun will be had!



As always, if you have burning questions, fire them off to feedback@redhookgames.com and we'll address them.
