Late Pledges Now Open!
over 5 years ago – Fri, Jan 11, 2019 at 12:21:29 AM

Hello Backers,

First of all, we hope that you are having a wonderful start to the new year so far! 

We have been busy behind the scenes and Late Pledges are now available in the Late Pledge Shop!

If you have already backed the campaign, you do not need to pledge again as we will be sending out surveys for you to access the pledge manager very soon. If you have any friends or family that wanted to back the campaign but missed out, now is their chance!

Please note that anything you see in the shop will be available in the pledge manager for you to add on as well!

We're really excited to get the process moving!

Best,

- Team Dized

THANK YOU!

You are AMAZING!

We are pretty much speechless in the front of this amazing campaign finish. We are grateful and humbled for the support of Dized in the hour of need. You came and told the world "THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN, AND I BELIEVE IN IT". It’s because of people like you that new innovation comes to life. Thank YOU!

The Dized campaign ended up raising a total of 113,578 USD from 2,544 backers (there’s a LOT of you!). The campaign ran for 25 days from Dec 10th 2018 over the holidays to January 4th 2019.

Running this campaign has been a thrilling ride. More backers joined in daily throughout the campaign, but it was nerve cracking to watch how the campaign was progressing slowly towards the end. Needless to say, a big part of our so called “holidays” were spent trying to figure out how to get this campaign to really take off. And then it did.

We have to give a special thank you to Kristin Looney from Looney Labs, who told us a few days ago she would like to support the campaign at a higher pledge level. That’s how the industry levels were born, helping in boosting the campaign into the astonishing ending. Thank you, Kristin!

In the end, with this and the Indiegogo campaign combined, Dized is now the world’s 3rd most crowdfunded app! If we only consider Kickstarter, Dized is the 6th most funded, and 5th most backed app on Kickstarter. That speaks volumes as there are over 7,000 successful app campaigns on Kickstarter. Apps, among other digital products, are really hard to crowdfund and this was no small feat!

Members of the Dized Team have really put themselves into the heart of this campaign, and it has been a lot of work and stress. We have an amazing team and they have all deserved a good rest over this upcoming weekend. Thank you Team Dized, we could not have made this happen without you!

But of course, the list of thank yous is much longer than that: there are publishers, distributors, retailers, reviewers, media representatives, investors, individuals, and of course the amazing community that helped making this campaign a success. You all know who you are, and what you did to help us. Thank you!

Next, after the weekend, we will be setting up the Pledge Manager where you can do final adjustments to your pledge. We will let you know once it goes live!

Now it's time to get some rest and then the work for the Tutorial Tool commences. Happy New Year, the YEAR OF DIZED!

In the words of Admiral Snackbar: "It’s a wrap!"

Best,
-Team Dized

Final hour and one more Stretch Goal unlocked!

It's the final hour of the campaign and we are thrilled to let you know that we reached the last Stretch Goal as well, unlocking a big juicy CREDIT for all Backers at ADVENTURER ($29) level and up!

We are riding to the finished line as the MOST FUNDED and MOST BACKED live Tabletop Game campaign on Kickstarter! On a lighter side it also means we are 2019's most successful campaign in the Tabletop Game category! ;)

We still can't believe how great the campaign finish was. It has truly been an honor watching this campaign soar through the Stretch Goals well into six figures together with you all!

We are humbled.

Best,

Special shout out to Japanime and other contributing publishers!
over 5 years ago – Thu, Jan 03, 2019 at 11:35:46 PM

As we’re drawing near the end of this incredible campaign, we’d like to thank all the publishers who backed our project with content as a reward.

We want to give an extra warm thank you to Japanime Games not only for backing us, but also for providing the promo card for Heart of Crown to our amazing Champion, Fellowship and Jester backers! You can find out more about the game and all the other goodies they have available for it here.

Thank you to the nine other awesome publishers who backed at the DIZED TUTORIAL level:

As soon as the tutorial creation tool is available – which we estimate to be around Q3/Q4 2019 – we will be designing and releasing tutorials for all of these publishers!

Backspindle Games is also offering a super cool promo for Ninja Squad, in addition to backing the campaign, for which we are extremely grateful too!

Finally, our sincere thanks to the other publishers who backed at the $399 Publisher Level: Bezier Games, Diamond Dust Dreams, Inside the Box Board Games, Laid Back Games, Odd Bird Games, Syther Gaming, Thunderworks Games, USAopoly, Zipwhaa – you all rule!

Expect to see games from all these publishers on Dized really soon!

Of course, we’re not forgetting the publishers who were supporting us way before this campaign even started – by investing, designing promos, spreading the word or just trusting us with their games – and all the publishers who are currently dedicating time to build content for their own games using our creation tool. We opened more than 200 accounts lately, so get ready to see many more games in the Dized library from now on…

Thanks from the bottom of our hearts, to all these publishers, for helping us make board games more accessible and more enjoyable for everyone!

Best,
-Team Dized

100,000 Times Thank You!

THIS IS AMAZING!

We are humbled. We are happy. We are flabbergasted. One hundred thousand dollars! You have really helped us taking this campaign to the moon! Did you know that right now, Dized is the MOST FUNDED LIVE TABLETOP GAME CAMPAIGN ON KICKSTARTER! Not many campaigns get to be that and today we have made history!

But, you want to hear about the new unlocked Stretch Goals, right? Here we go!

At $99k we unlocked The Piecekeeper, a new monster for IELLO’s very well known and popular title King of Tokyo. This promo has a special feature, as the monster is actually made out of pieces from well-known board games! How many do you recognize?

And speaking of special features, we totally forgot to mention that the first Stretch Goal that was unlocked at $80k, the Alpaca Wanderer for Steve Jackson Games’ title Munchkin CCG, is actually a FOILED CARD!

Now, at $100k we unlocked two very exciting things! The Portrait Mode might seem like a standard and simple feature, but making it properly for any app actually takes quite a bit of designing and developing. We need to make sure it works with different resolutions and aspect ratios, not to mention this new notch boom! But, you wanted it, and we will be developing it!

Also, we unlocked the much requested support for casting Dized from the app to a TV via Chromecast of Airplay. Being able to see the tutorials and content from a bigger screen will definitely make game nights even more immersive in the future! Both of these features will be made available on Dized during 2019.

So, what’s next?!

We are nearing the end of the campaign but let's keep pushing till the end! From now on, for every additional $10k the campaign raises, we will be adding a BONUS CREDIT to all pledge levels from $29 and up! 

Let’s keep sharing the campaign and unlock some juicy Credits! How far can we go?

Best,
- Team Dized
