The official MindSeize Kickstarter campaign has been updated with an important change today.

The Nintendo Switch physical edition of MindSeize, originally a stretch goal, has become a new physical reward tier. This means as long as the game successfully hits its funding goal of USD19,000, a physical edition of the game will be produced.

Full details below:

The last stretch of the campaign is upon us and we will start the week with some cool news! There have been many of you asking for physical rewards and we agree those would be pretty awesome.  After giving it a lot of thought and looking for the best way to make it happen together with our partner First Press Games, we are happy to be able to announce, that the physical version of MindSeize will come for sure! We just need to get to the base goal to be able to promise you that.

The physical version was previously a stretch goal for a reason: It takes a ton of extra work from us, as the physical release needs planning and especially a lot of new art (for the packaging, manual, etc). Our own hands are full with creating the game in the first place and without the money to be able to pay for the additional art and help, we will be able to start working fully on the physical version only after the initial release on Switch. The exact time needed strongly depends on the amount of funding we are able to get. We also need to fix any bugs and have the game be in its final form with all the content released, before the physical release can happen. As design, production, assembling and shipping takes time, the release will be at least 3 months after the initial digital release.  With that in mind, it’s time to talk about the new rewards!

The physical rewards

We have added some fabulous new physical reward tiers to the campaign. Backers will also receive their game with a Kickstarter-exclusive cover art!

The Kickstarter Exclusive Edition will include the following:

• The game with the exclusive cover art
• Manual
• Slipcase
• Silver MindSeize Collector Coin
• Special Bronze Collector Coin (not available in the standard regular edition release)

You will receive a voucher code that can be used at the First Press online store to get your Kickstarter Edition. You will only need to pay for the shipping. There won’t be any need to add extra for shipping fees to your pledge, as shipping will be paid later at the First Press online store (6,5€, or ~$7 worldwide, not including possible customs).

We have added a physical version of all the previous reward tiers, so if you want to get the physical copy, just change to the physical tier.  There will be only a limited batch of the Kickstarter edition available, so be fast before all of them are gone.
