Great news! We've hit $18k, which means the mixer app will be even more useful with several new features (and some new game materials)!
To recap:
You unlocked the Soundtrack at 200% — this will be made available as standalone tracks, including ship ambience and musical themes. You can play these during your sessions running this module, but the audio will be appropriate for many other Mothership adventures as well!
You unlocked the Audio Mixer App at 300% — this is a desktop application that will use looping versions of the tracks from the Soundtrack and a super-intuitive system for mixing audio: you drag a "puck" representing the players' locations on the maps from the module, and the audio will dynamically mix to produce the appropriate audio for the location. There will also be toggle-able musical themes for each of the characters in the module.
You unlocked Tannhäuser Lore at 500% — this is additional text materials that will be included in the Mixer App that will explore the inner workings of the Tannhäuser Special Research Division and their off-the-books projects. This was the final stretch goal, until...
You unlocked the ContributorBonus at 850% — this means additional money will go straight to the collaborators on the project who helped to make it such a success here on Kickstarter!
And now you've unlocked Additional Mixer App Features at 900% — this means in addition to the audio mixer itself and the extra lore, the app will also get additional features to make it even more useful at your table! We're going to keep a few of these secret (for you to discover when you download it!), but in the meantime I will say we're working on new tables that will be useful for your Mothership games, extra psionics info, and a couple really fun treats :)
All of which leaves one Stretch Goal Remaining ... if we can fund the project all the way up to $20k (1000%!), we will make an additional app:a versatile, editable version of the mixer that you can import your own map images and audio files into! You'll be able to place audio sources on your own maps, adjust volume and attenuation, and create your own dynamic soundscapes for use at your table! This will be a useful tool for creating atmosphere for any setting in any TTRPG, not just WarpedBeyond Recognition, and not just Mothership. All backers at the "Digital Dissociation" tier and above will get this bonus app! :)

Hello new backers! Just a quick announcement — we just hit two milestones! The first is that we've surpassed 500 backers, which is truly wild to me. The second is that you five-hundred-plus lovely people just secured some extra money for the hard-working contributors to the project!
I'd also like to take this opportunity to link out to their socials, all very worth the follow!
Interview with Sean McCoy + New Stretch Goals!

Thank you all again for your support! This was a busy weekend for me, figuring out some new stretch goals that could be valuable to everyone involved without overtaxing the project, AND getting interviewed by the creator of Mothership himself, Sean McCoy!
It's a deep dive into what makes Mothership special, our influences, and our processes when we're creating modules like this one — and I think it's just a fun read! I also highly recommend the rest of Sean's interviews with other creators, they're a goldmine of information about game design.
The other news is that there are now 3 new stretch goals, all of which I'm quite excited about!
The first, unlocked at $17,000, is a bonus for all the contributors to the project! Everyone will be getting a percentage bonus based on what they're already getting paid for their contributions.
The second, unlocked at $18,000, is bonus content for the mixer app! We'll spend some extra development time on some bonus tables, lore, a supplemental guide to the psionics system, and some other secret stuff for you to discover ;)
And the third, unlocked at $20,000, is really exciting to us: in addition to the WBR-specific mixer app, we will ALSO make a customizableaudio mixer app which you can import your own maps and audio into. It will have tools for creating/removing audio sources, moving them, setting attenuation, saving and loading your maps, and more. It will feature the same easy drag-the-puck-on-the-map interface for mixing as the WBR app, making it an excellent tool for low-stress live audio mixing at any tabletop session! This additional app will be included in everyone's digital stretch goals :)
Thanks again!

Todaywasamazing, thank you everyone! Here are some stats:
It took 17minutes to fully fund the project!
In 1hour we hit our first stretch goal, at 200% funded!
In 3hours we hit our second stretch goal, at 300% funded!
In 6hours we hit our third and final stretch goal, at 500% funded!
And as of right now, we stand at 624% funded and 309 backers! The support for this project has been just incredible, more than I could have ever hoped for. Right now I'm looking into possible additional stretch goals, including bonuses for my collaborators and chatting with Galen about more possible features in the audio mixer! Stay tuned, and thanks again! 🖤
