Seed Funder Reward Tiers:
A note about "in-game credit": The core features (playable dinos + eras) of Dino Run 2 will be free (or very low-cost), and the game will have extensive cosmetic upgrades for purchase, as well as "in-game-crowdfunding". It will NOT feature pay-to-win or lootboxes. In-game credit can be used to buy/unlock things within the game.
If you contribute before we launch the game, you will be a SEED FUNDER, and will get 2X your contribution to the campaign as in-game credit. There will also be other rewards (customization unlocks + multiplayer name treatments) in the game tied to each tier, but we don't know exactly what those will be yet...
$5: Half Raptor
This gets you access to early deliverables while we are making the game, including the currently playable SANDBOX ALPHA.You also get 1 Steam key for our original game DINO RUN DX.
As a Seed Funder, you will get 2X your contribution ($10) as in-game credit to use in the final game. You can always contribute more money later (using the same email address), and that will bump you up into higher tiers.

About Dino Run 2
Dino Run 2 is a hyper-evolved pixel-art single and multiplayer platformer with procedurally generated terrain, multiple dino types to play as with different strengths and skills, tons of character customization, and most importantly an unstoppable doom wall that's constantly on your tail.
It's the sequel to Dino Run, which we made 10 years ago and is still going strong today.
This is a massive endeavor, easily the biggest project we've ever taken on. Big projects are very risky and very hard to make estimates for. So instead of doing an all-or-nothing campaign, we're taking it little by little, creating the game in small milestones, and delivering what we make to everyone that funds it... experiments, prototypes, concept art, dino animations, music, YOU GET IT ALL. And if the stars are aligned, we'll make it to the very end, to the ultimate goal - a game we will be proud to call DINO RUN 2.
FAQ
Q: So are you raising money for the full game?
A:
Not yet. This current campaign is to fund and deliver the initial stages of game development - the exciting part where we discover how the game will work, look, sound and feel. Whatever we produce, funders will get: concept art, music, animations, physics tests, playable prototypes and alphas. Right now, all funders at or over the $5 tier get the SANDBOX ALPHA:
Q: Why aren't you using an established crowdfunding platform?
A:
We are covering all the bases: you can support our Patreon campaign right now, and earlier in 2018 we wrapped up a round of funding on Kickstarter. The funds from those 2 campaigns are rolled into this one. We maintain and update all the various ways of funding and promoting, but this one is the headquarters for our main operation.
Q: What's with the roadmap?
A:
This is the heart of our campaign, and we encourage everyone to click on it to explore the full-screen version. From here you'll be able to see exactly what we are targeting with each funding goal. If you click on Progress Report, you'll get a more detailed task list that details how we intend to achieve that goal.
Q: Is this all-or-nothing? What happens when I contribute money?
A:
This campaign is NOT all-or-nothing. All contributions made through this site will be immediately charged / debited and you will instantly receive any rewards you qualify for, in addtion to access to the process of making Dino Run 2 and any deliverables it creates.
Q: I'd like to contribute now, and then more later if things are going well. What happens when I fund it more than once?
A:
As long as you enter the same email address for both contributions, they will be totalled under a single "funder" and your rewards will aggregate as well. For example if you contribute 10 now and 20 later, you will receive the 30 dollar tier if you use the same email address for both.
Q: I don't have the means to contribute money, can I help?
A:
Of course! Sign up for Street Team membership and you will receive email updates with action items to help us promote this project to the world.
Q: What happens if you raise more than 75K?
A:
We will add more milestones, all the way up to the full final game. We will also carry over this crowdfunding campaign to inside the game.
Let's do this.
