H.P. Lovecraft Inspired U55 - END OF THE LINE Update - FundedByMe Now Live! - 04/17/14 02:26 AM
After an unsuccessful campaign on Kickstarter:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/u55/u55-end-of-the-line
U55 - End of the Line is back for another round of financing on FundedByMe:
https://www.fundedbyme.com/en/campaign/3681/u55-end-of-the-line-3
But wait, this sounds so much better than Kickstarter. If I understand correctly, you get your money back within 4 years plus interests, and then you continue to make profits on all their projects during that time, and you get the game for free on top of it.
Please tell me if I am wrong here, but this is really how it should be for all these campaigns we contribute to. Can you imagine, making profits out of this while getting the game free?
FundedByMe is a Swedish company, for now it is only opened to German companies but investors are worldwide. I really hope this will become the new norm and eclipse Kickstarter.
And here is a bit more information about the game itself which looks just wonderful. There was a question on Gameboomers during the first campaign about if this was truly an adventure, and perhaps we will need to investigate this. However you have no weapon, you are only armed with your mobile phone, so, how action-like can it be?
I welcome your thoughts?

Dear backer,
First of all thank you again for your support during our initial Kickstarter campaign.
This endeavour is a huge adventure for us and we really appreciate all the support you and our community have given us. All the feedback and all the positive words have meant a lot to us as a team and have strengthened our belief that yes, our game does hit a nerve! You guys getting so excited about the game really meant the world to us, we can’t stress that enough.
Throughout the last couple of months things had become rather quiet around the project, as we were busy trying to find a publisher who would take us on. Sadly the gaming industry does not look benevolently upon young teams looking to think outside the box and create a truly unique gaming experience for our players!
Luckily for us this was when we were approached by FundedByMe, a Swedish crowd investment platform who were just about to launch their platform internationally.
Unlike Kickstarter, which uses a purely reward- based funding model, FundedByMe offers different types of funding, which make investing into a project even more compelling.
So, now we are proud to present you guys with our new campaign on FundedByMe, which you can find
RIGHT HERE if you simply follow THIS LINK:
https://www.fundedbyme.com/en/campaign/3681/u55-end-of-the-line-3
We decided to go for a loan-based campaign, which basically means that you give us your support in the form of a loan which will be returned to you after the end of the funding period which, in our case, is 48 months. In addition you are entitled to a yearly interest of 1.5% on the amount you decided to loan. Also you receive 3.20% profit not just from U55, but other games Effective Evolutions may be working on in the meantime. And most importantly: All our supporters will get the game as a digital download on Steam FOR FREE. The minimum loan is 50Euros, which is roughly 69USD.
To sum it up:
For an investment of minimum 69USD (50EUR) you get:
- The game as a free digital download on Steam
- 1.5% yearly interest on your investment for the duration of 48 months
- 3.2% profit share on ALL of Effective Evolutions’ projects within that time period
- Your Investment back after 48months

U55- END OF THE LINE is an episodic first person horror survival adventure set in the Berlin subway. Players take on the role of the survivor of a train crash who finds himself lost and alone in the dark as the world around him slowly descents into madness. Armed with only their smartphone and their own sharp wits, players have to find a way to survive and make their way out of the subway system. Surrounded by darkness, players soon find that they are not entirely alone and the shadows crawl with chaos incarnate.
I welcome your thoughts?
