48 hours left until To the Moon: Bestest Memories Kickstarter ends
The month-long campaign is almost over, and as we unveil the final stretch goal, we're preparing to wrap up the To the Moon tabletop game & goodies Kickstarter campaign.
As always, thank you to all the supporters and the Freebird community for making this campaign possible. There is still a lot of work to do, but we're committed to making everyone who pledged happy with the rewards!
And speaking of which, here're some showing of the goodies found in the campaign, presented at the recent local To the Moon art exhibit (photos from the exhibit coming later this week)!
Cheers everyone, looking forward to organizing & sharing photos from the main exhibit in the coming days! Thank you to all those who made it to the exhibit, and thank you to all those who supported the Kickstarter.
There're just 48 hours left to the campaign, and if you'd like to support it or help spread the word, you can find it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/freebirdgames/to-the-moon-bestest-memories/
Here's to a great wrap-up! d-(' ' d-)
To the Moon Kickstarter funded in 45 minutes! + Beach Episode Trailer Released
To the Moon - Bestest Memories just launched today, and the reception surpassed even our best case expectations. Everyone at Freebird is so happy and grateful for the overwhelming support from the community!
Thank you so much.
The campaign runs for 30 days, starting from today! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/freebirdgames/to-the-moon-bestest-memories/
As we shoot past the funding, the project is assured, and each backer will receive more and more bonus as we pass the stretch goals (already unlocked a TtM series sticker sheet on the first day).
The next includes a special poster for the To the Moon - Illustrated Works Artbook (by the talented Maki's Atelier), embedded in the artbook:
A preview of the poster:
Lastly, of course, every supporter of the Bestest Memory Kickstarter campaign will be able to place a message of their own on the beach of the upcoming To the Moon Beach Episode, to be dug up by other players.
And that leads to the second big announcement...

Just a beach episode full of fan service, nothing to see here. But if interested, here's where to wishlist it:
Helping spread the word is always appreciated! We've got a lot of work to do in the coming months, but we'll try our best to get there well.
Cheers & thanks again, everyone.
To the Moon: Bestest Memories & Beach Episode Trailer Coming Tuesday!!
Hey folks, in just a few days (Tuesday next week, August 15th @ 1PM Eastern), both the Beach Episode trailer and the Kickstarter Campaign for the To the Moon tabletop game will be launched!
All supporters of the campaign, no matter high or low tier, could also bury their name and a message on the beach of the To the Moon Beach Episode, for other players to dig up. It'd be a way to keep a part of you with the series and its memories, as the games, we hope, have been kept in yours.
The campaign will run for 30 days, and offer a lot of fun mementos to choose from, on top of the feature To the Moon tabletop game. Please keep an eye out for details at launch!

New Freebird website launch!
Long story short, our old website exploded. So it was time for a revamp... and behold!!
https://freebirdgames.com/
We're adding more to it as time goes on, but a big thanks to Kayden and Aleks for making it possible.
Also just a heads up, I think not many folks are aware yet, but we do have a merch store for some mementos from the games here!
And along with heads up on the upcoming tabletop campaign, you can sign up on our email list for updates for things to come. We haven't sent out an email in like years, but we're able to start getting together worthwhile goodies to share again there!
Cheers, and hope everyone's having a nice week~
To the Moon Beach Episode - Surfing Battle Royale
Just released this preview video for a minigame from To the Moon Beach Episode coming in a few months c:

We added a spectator mode to watch Neil, Eva, Roxie & Rob fight to the death among themselves for the video, but it feels quite fun and we might just keep it for the final public release as well.
If you haven't yet, here's the beach episode page to add to wishlist!
Just been fixing some issues that had been resolved in the original build but not in the new engine build (e.g. chance of freezing on carnival bridge). d-(' ' d-) Also added a prompt for episode 2 Finding Paradise at the post-credits.
Not much to see here yet; just a heads up for those curious seeing the updates!
Announcing TO THE MOON - Bestest Memories : Kickstarter Prelaunch!

In updating to the new and more stable build (ironically), the location of save files for some localizations may be changed. To get your saves back, you can move the files like this:
1. Go to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming 2. Your old saves are in the folder "To the Moon". Copy paste all files into the folder "To the Moon - Freebird Games".
For other potential issues (e.g. Achievement unlocking), please see Troubleshooting thread here. Thanks for your patience!
Updating engine of default build
Default build has been changed to run on Ancurio's MKXP engine, as is with Impostor Factory. This allows for better full screen handling (proper screen ratio), resizable window (alt-enter), a smoother experience, and rare crash bug avoidance. d-(' ' d-)
We're trying it on English first, then gradually rolling them out to other languages' builds.
*If there's an issue switching to proper language, you can press F7 at title screen to change language manually.
P.S. The only drawback may be a potential issue with triggering the achievement in some cases. If that happens, one work-around for the time being is to use the -achievement legacy build to run the ending to get it. To do so, just right click To the Moon from Steam library -> Property -> BETAs -> choose -achievement build from dropdown list, close & let download. d-(' ' d-)
