What's brought the campaign down was an undeniably weak first week and a half, but the backer count has been pretty steady for the past while, which makes sense with the nature of a playable prototype and word of mouth. It suffered from a lack of that zeitgeist factor a lot of other campaigns benefit from but all things considered the daily numbers aren't bad at all.

Last time I was this invested in the success of a crowdfunding project was with GRIP. This needs to succeed. Thinking of having a party with Shovel Knight, Drifter, and Juan, all in Lab Zero's art style and animations....
I needs this

Speaking of which, were any Inner Realm incarnations originally conceived as playable incarnations, or vice versa? I'm interested in how the planning process went for something with such a large cast compared to Skullgirls.
No, they've always been thought of as just Inner Realm incarnations from the start.

Didn't play SkullGirls but this looks lovely.
Won't get into it too much, but we will have the option to extend the campaign if we reach a certain percentage.
So right now we're just doing the best we can, and will decide if we want to do that depending on where we end up.
Oh, nice! Right on! Well, hopefully you guys take the option when funding hits that point. Would there be a specific reason to not take that option if it's given?

Only reason I can think of is if there's a big boost at the end. extending the campaign could take the wind out of the sails

Oh yeah, I forgot IGG allows that. Good to know that we can always have that as a last resort if we're close but not quite at the goal.

Crossover characters? This sounds like Skullgirl characters.
Glad you enjoyed it!
And if you can't directly support us, spreading the word, streaming, etc. always helps!

This game is amazing. Love the battle system. You definitely have my support come pay day and I urge others that are able and enjoy this genre to do the same. It will be a disservice to all that like this genre if this game is never released.
A neat little image put together by someone on the SkullHeart forums:
Annie from Skullgirls
Calibretto from Battle Chasers
The Drifter from Hyper Light Drifter
Juan from Guacamelee
Lea from Curses N' Chaos
Shovel Knight from Shovel Knight
Zackasaurus from Super Time Force Ultra
This has been a great boost for the campaign so far. Hopefully when the other sources pick up on it it'll keep the love going.
I'm really looking forward to what these guys look like in the Indiv style. Good stuff all round

Looking forward to seeing this updated with our takes on the characters.

Really hope this is past 50% when I wake up

Someone else already did a new version for the news post on the site:
Your move, Lab Zero.

Just finished the prototype. That was really awesome, as someone who's a big fan of VP.
Just wondering though, what's the point of launchers in Indivisible? I know launchers are useful in VP for combing enemies since they usually guard your attacks while on the ground, but here it seems kind of pointless at face value. Assuming the full game gets made, would enemies also have a guard function to make launchers into air combos more useful?

So conflicted about this. I want it to succeed, but I've been burned way too many times from prior crowdfunding projects to commit to it myself. This is probably the 3rd recent project I wanted to back and probably won't. The other two were funded already, but this one looks like it's got a long way to go in the next 10 days.
We intend to add more rewards for launching, juggling, etc.
Also enemies will be able to block, and there will be guardbreaking, too.
We actually have all the animation for the blocking already, just didn't have time to implement it on top of everything else.

There's always a chance that things can go wrong in game development, but Lab Zero's proven themselves multiple times through crowdfunding efforts. If there's one company you could trust your money with, its definitely Lab Zero.
Sounds awesome! Will do everything I can to shill the game and help it get backed

You won't get burned here. If anything you should expect to get more than you asked for when it comes to Lab Zero. Trust me as someone who has played and followed Skullgirls since before it came out (and subsequently got loaded with enough features to rival and outshine $60 releases).

Meanwhile this is the first thing I've ever backed.
And to be fair, even though Lab Zero has very kindly and honestly disclosed what the funds are going toward, it's definitely a high goal to reach.

Backed with $75.
I haven't played Skullgirls that much, but it's probably the only fighter I've gotten into. The concept for this game is really interesting and I do like the art direction quite a lot, but I'm really won over by the release of a demo alongside the funding campaign, and the general handling of SG with regards to maintaining and adding content. Really hope this gets funded, I think the devs deserve it.

Having Eliza and Beowulf as my #1 and #2 felt pretty good
Ah, the elusive Aeon fans. You guys were so hard to find.
Lol, true that.
Curious how the guest Incarnations are going to be integrated into the full game when funded (believe). Is this going to be like a Seraphic Gate thing where they're only usable in a post-meta dungeon? Something else?
Probably too early to say either way but I'm looking forward to having them on my team in whatever manner LZ sees fit..

Oh man, I always love cross-overs and different takes on characters (we're having quite a bit of fun in the indie thread with that too).
I'd love for Honey Rose to be somewhere in there as well, and to have the go ahead to have Ajna in one of my match's audiences... Probably not gonna happen, though :-D
Wonder what your criteria for selecting guest stars are? I'd imagine it starts with team preference and move from there?
Anyway, superb news, looking forward to how they turn out!
Right now we're thinking that a dimensional rift opens up in Ajna's Inner Realm, and you meet the crossover characters in there. Don't want them? Don't go in there.
Definitely want to position them so players can use them as they see fit, but without detracting from the main story and other in-world characters. So I think it'll likely be a late game kinda thing, so Indivisible's characters and everything are established and you have them for endgame stuff.
I also see them as great New Game+ fodder - work them into your team to mix things up on a second playthrough, etc.
This all started because Joe Madureira (!!!) reached out to us about a crossover. We liked the idea, so I reached out a bunch of other indies and they all agreed.
We usually approached them with a character in mind, but ultimately who went in was up to them. Sometimes it was based on who was the most recognizable, but in the case of Calibretto, we wanted someone that would really stand out from the rest of the cast.
And we tried to get some kind of balance in the roster, i.e. a grappler instead of a straight-up melee guy, people that have abilities in their games that could be "mage-y" in Indivisible's battle system, etc.
Yes, yes it did
I see, thanks a lot! That's a pretty nice way to start on this whole process
Well, just in case, my offer/question above still stands as a base, if you're ever interested in talking about it!
