Hey, Heroes supporters!
Our Metal Heroes and the Fate of Rock campaign is heading towards its inevitable end—just a few hours left until the hammer falls!
So what's new? Another stretchgoal was passed!
With MORE COWBELL bonus songs are added to the Metal Heroes soundtrack giving you more decisions of music tracks in the story.
And pretty close by on our playlist of stretch goals lies GIMME SHELTER. The cover will get an embossed and glossy effect. With your support we’ll reach this one for sure!
Well it’s not time for a resume quite yet, we all know many things can happen on the final day. All we can do now is crack open one last cold beer, turn up the volume another notch, and rock HARDER than ever before!!!

Dear Heroes supporters!
The time has come. The recording studio is booked, the Heroes are ready to play.
And we've reached the final stretch of our campaign!
Sure, in the last hours we've had a bit of an up-and-down, but the next goals are still in sight and we’re sure to convince many Kickstarter backers to chip in for this one-of-a-kind gamebook this weekend.
Nevertheless, we count on all of you already involved! Please help us to spread the word—share at will!
We know, there are many Heroes supporters doing their best to let this project end on a high note. And we really appreciate all your efforts! Keep it going, guys!
Heroes forever!

Hi Heroes supporters!
Sorry, this update took a bit longer than expected. (To be honest, I thought we could break thru the 200 backers mark last night, which would have made a great headline, but this didn’t occur so far. Maybe while I write these lines…)
Nevertheless, many things happened in the past few days stretch goal wise, and I'm excited to present you another oppotunity to enhance your playing experience with Metal Heroes and the Fate of Rock. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. First things first…
New goals accomplished!
The stretchgoal at 7,400 was HERE I GO AGAIN: I've committed to writing a some more sections. And that’s great! I'm looking forward to meddling with the story again after all these years and spicing it up a little bit here and there.
You've also unlocked the BACK IN BLACK stretchgoal at 7,800, which means FuFu will be drawing three additional full-size illustrations. Uh, yeah, that's only fair!
Goalgivin’ Day
As I mentioned in the last update, to celebrate Thanksgiving we are giving you another stretchgoal for free today! It is JUKE BOX HERO, adding another song, written and produced by Garagedays exclusively for Metal Heroes and the Fate of Rock. Awesome, dudes!
What’s on the line?
The next goals coming up are MORE COWBELL (at 8,200) and GIMME SHELTER (at 8,600). The first giving some more songs to the soundtrack as well as adding more flexibility to the story, especially when re-playing the book. The second one will add some effects to the cover, like an embossed logo and glossy highlights. Fancy!
The 250 backers threshold
Finally, if we reach 250 backers (yes, we're believers!), another bonus will be unlocked: WALK THIS WAY. This stretchgoal extra is a complete digital walkthru PDF, in which all 1,300+ sections of the Metal Heroes story are displayed as a decision tree. So you cheaters will never get lost. Once unlocked, you'll also be able to add this walkthru as a physical booklet in the pledge manager later on.
As you see, still a whole lotta stuff to discover in the final days of the Metal Heroes campaign! Stay with us!

Hey-ho, let's go, Heroes fans!
Yes, we’re head-banging into the final week of the Metal Heroes campaign!
A few new guys have joined the Heroes’ gang and we’re pretty close to the next stretchgoal HERE I GO AGAIN at 7,400, forcing me back on the computer to write some more sections. But no complaints, I would love to!
I guess, most of you know this, but next Thursday, November 26, is Thanksgiving (or how we Germans call it: “Erntedankfest”). And to celebrate this and the cooperation with my guys from Garagedays, we’ll do a “Goalgiving” that day for free. What exactly you’ll get for the JUKE BOX HERO goal, I won’t tell you now, but it has something to do with music. 😉
Nevertheless, I hope you all will support us in those final days, making this special gamebook even a bit louder with the other goals ahead.
Cheers,
Swen + FuFu

Whole Lotta Goals, Day#18

Unbelievable, we are in the final two weeks of the Metal Heroes campaign! But still a long way to go, and a lot to discover…
Yesterday the community (mainly Steve, throwing another 2 Euros in the pot) cracked the 7,000 stretchgoal GARAGE BROS., adding a complete extra album to all Special Editions!
It’s the 3rd studio album "Here it comes" from the Austrian Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band Garagedays. The CD includes 10 tracks, produced by Flemming Rasmussen (known for Metallica’s “…And Justice for All” among others).
Garagedays are linked to the Metal Heroes project from the very first days: At the beginning I searched for newcomers to help me produce the Metal Heroes soundtrack, and the guys supported me with all they had. At the end, I decided to collaborate with the label Napalm Records and Garagedays were out... But fortunately they didn't hold a grudge but remained very supportive to the project. So now the day has come to pay back the loyality! BTW: Their newest album "Something Black" hit the shelves just a week ago!
With this extra the Special Edition has caught up to the content of the German original and will get—thanks to the PRODUCER pledge and the bonus illustrations from the stretch goals—even more! YEAH!
Only 370 Euro away lies the HERE I GO AGAIN goal, which will send me back to the keyboard to write a couple of bonus sections.
After that, BACK IN BLACK would add another 3 extra full-size panels from FuFu to the book. But to achieve this at 7,800, we will need a little boost, I guess.
Keep the fire burnin'!
