Hi Metal Heroes Supporters!
Last call for all of you who haven’t yet chipped in for the new campaign. The community needs just a few more returning backers to unlock the Secret Stretchgoal!
Please consider supporting the hardcover campaign as a HARD ROCKER (just 3 Euro) or METAL HEAD (7 Euro). And don’t miss out on the card game Zombory as a Thank You gift! — Your new pledge may help to unlock other extras, which then will be added to your original pledge as well (check the upcoming stretchgoals)!
Don’t forget: The campaign ends in just a couple ofhours!

In the meantime, here are some of the new bonus illustrations for Metal Heroes which FuFu has been working on: a brand new full-page illustration (above) and a vignette (below), both featuring some of the antagonists you will encounter reading/playing Metal Heroes and the Fate of Rock. The full page will have added gray tones in the final version of course, just like all the one-pagers in the original German edition.

Hi Metal Heroes Supporters!
We hope you don't mind, but for this update we'll simply refer you to the update section of the new hardcover campaign page:
We thought it’s just more efficient to have all the info bundled in one place.
And we’re sure that you’ll like what you read there! :)

Hey, Metal Heroes supporters!
UNBELIEVABLE! After some delays the Kickstarter campaign for the Metal Heroes and the Fate of Rock ENGLISH HARDCOVER EDITION will take off tomorrow, June 8th!
Again, we hope for your support! As you know, if we manage to surpass the funding goal of 1,800 Euro this time, all Metal Heroes gamebooks (even the ones from the campaign you backed already, will turn into hardcover (YES, IT'S A KIND OF MAGIC!).
To help us make the earth's loudest gamebook even harder, please you should share this news to everyone you know and pledge as HARD ROCKER (3 Euro) or METAL HEAD (7 Euro).
Let's do this!

What? Free zombies? Okay... Helioz has something to say...
Thanky you notes:
Uh yeah, I want to take this opportunity to thank two gamebook authors also exploring the pitfalls of publishing their books with Kickstarter, and helped me sharing my book to their audience. So, please have a look to their projects as well. Those gamebooks are still available in stores or as a late pledge.

Very last Hardcover Update, After Show Update #6

Hi Metal Heroes Supporters!
This is another update about the upcoming Hardcover campaign. I know, last time I said it’s the “final update” about it, but in the recent couple of weeks a few (positive) developments forced us to change the settings of the campaign, and I want to inform you about it.
First, Kickstarter allowed us to offer Add-ons! (A new Kickstarter feature we didn’t have access to in the original campaign.) This is great because we won’t need a pledge manager this time.
Secondly, we decided to get some help from PR professionals in England to make the campaign more visible on social media. But I have to admit, I didn’t take the difficulties of Brexit for real. The materials the supporting company needs to make their videos got stuck at the border for several days now...
Bottom line is, we need a bit more time to get it all set done. Therefore, we’ll postpone the campaign by a few days (yes, no fixed date this time – I learned my lesson). Sorry for this letdown, but in the end, I’m sure the changes will help to make the new campaign more successful, which we hope is in everybody’s interest.

"Hard" Shaped Box, After Show Update #5
almost 3 years ago

It’s been coming for long time, and here it is:
Final Hardcover Update!
The most important fact right up front: The Kickstarter support campaign for the Metal Heroes Hardcover edition will blast off on June 1st!
To be clear: It will be completely voluntary. There is no obligation for you to participate, and no one has to give any extra money. Feel free to ignore it! BUT!
…IF you want Metal Heroes and the Fate of Rock to become a glorious hardcover edition, ruling as a crown achievement of the gamebook world, THEN you should consider to support us again.
If you’re reading this and are completely NEW to Metal Heroes, don’t worry, please jump right to the new campaign (preview)site here.
Okay, okay, cut to the chase, how can I support the hardcover campaign?
Well, anyone who already pledged in the first Metal Heroes campaign can help us by pledging at least as HARD ROCKER (adding just 3 Euros to your pledge from the first campaign). The funding goal to upgrade ALL books to hardcover is 1,800 Euros.
But keep in mind: If the second campaign isn’t successful, the gamebook will remain a softcover, and you won’t be giving any extra money at all.
We worked hard to make everything as fair and transparent as possible, but due to the numerous variants, it may happen that someone feels disadvantaged. If so, please get in touch with us, we’ll try to find a solution!
ACH JA… Everyone supporting us as a LINECUTTER (7 Euro) in the first week of the new campaign, will receive FuFu’s memory card game Zombory as an extra goodie!
If you would like to spread the word about the new campaign, please do so, using the following link:
Even if the most of it will sound familiar to you, FuFu put a lot of effort into giving the campaign a fresh new look.
And please remember not to confuse new backers too much about the hardcover metamorphosis… Many people will hear about it for the first time and from their perspective it’s their first chance to get a Metal Heroes gamebook.
That’s it for now. C’mon, let’s make Metal Heroes even HARDER!
