Pledged, really hope this hits the target, my god do we need this game to get made!

We need TG to post a front page article about this. I posted it in the ideas section at the bottom of the forum, but I don't know if this is the best way to do it.

I think its being dealt with as I spoke to site administration yesterday, if not I'll chase it up.

KS Update:

"
WE ARE ADDING SP/CO-OP FREE TO BACKERS

We have heard the message loud and clear and are happy to announce that we are going to offer ALL of our Kickstarter backers that pledged from the minimum $15 reward up, the Singleplayer/Co-Op portion (with advanced AI) of GROUND BRANCH for FREE. Every copy of the game gets this; So for example, if you get a FIRETEAM EDITION then all 4 copies will be eligible for the additional release.

This will be available some time after the initial release that will include full multiplayer (objective-based TvT, PvP) and core single player/co-operation gameplay (e.g. terrorist hunt against bots) from the start.

Let the world know so that we can all enjoy GROUND BRANCH!"

A lot of people over at RPS were on the fence because of the lack of SP, but now that that's confirmed, that should push a few more people to support the project.

Any word on how they plan on handling this if they don't reach the goal in the next 8 days? Re-post on Kickstarter around September?

Is there an ETA on the front page news item regarding Ground Branch?

Update #14 from Ground Branch's Kickstarter page that explains their philosophy behind level design:

**Cpl Ledanek** · 07-13-2012, 10:02 PM

so, unfortunately that the KS did not reach enough Tactical FPS players.
everyday, ever since the conclusion of the KS, new members are posting that they heard this news too late and it wasn't marketed properly/wisely.... don't blame the two guys trying to give our dream game. There's only so much two ppl can do, specially when marketing is not their specialty.

Anyway, they need help with some survey that may help market this properly.

It's only 6 questions.... http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/8JWQGPP

please DO PASS this survey around.
again, advance thanks
