Rmt, no, unfortunately I don't get the Wonkers USB key. The tiers are kind of strange because the digital and physical versions are spread out, and I really, really want a nice box. The next version to include the USB key is the $350 one, and that is just too much for me to spend right now. The $110 box was only a slipcase cover, and now I will receive a nicer, signed box, a paperback copy of Journey's Birth, a paper Arcadia map and the expanded manual, which from what I understand includes more story information. Oh, and I'll also get another outfit and hairstyle for Zoe. Too bad they weren't included for everyone, but hey, at least I'll get them now. And I'll get my name in the credits and a signed postcard. If you do end up going for the $150 tier, you'll have to let us know how you like that Wonkers key. Even the $110 tier is nice. I could have stayed at that level, but I got caught up in the excitement. What tier are you on now? EDIT: Oh, I just realized the Wonkers USB isn't included in the $150 tier but the $200 tier. Sorry about that. Oh, well, I guess neither one of us will be getting Wonkers.

Rmt, sorry I didn't mean to put you in a box dilemma. The $110 is a DVD slipcase, pretty much the standard nowadays. The $250 is more like the original Dreamfall box, a double wide DVD case, probably to accommodate the Journey's Birth book inside. There are even better boxes at higher tiers, but I can't afford those. Here is the link with the different boxes: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/redthread/dreamfall-chapters-the-longest-journey/posts/403370.Personally, I think any physical copy is worth getting, especially considering how rare they're becoming. But even the digital copies are going to be DRM free, so whatever you decide, I think you'll be good.

Countdown to the end on TwitchTV!
Also, clear your schedule tomorrow and join us on TwitchTV for our live countdown broadcast!
We will be live from 0900 CET and onwards, and we're bringing some special guests to the 'studio'. Should be a fun time for all! It took me a while to transfer and understand all the different timings and I just realised the campaign tomorrow will end at 11:04 am London time. They go live on Twitch TV at 08:00 am London time (I think). Dear me, perhaps I should upgrade before going to bed (although I am not sure which tier to choose yet), I might not be able to wake up in time and I might miss the final! To make things more complicated, many countries change their time tomorrow to adjust for summer time!

For me, the Twitch TV stream starts at 4 am. I have to be at work at six. Luckily, I have a job where I start nice and early, so I get off early in the day and have the rest of it free. I'm not a morning person, but it's worth it. Still, I don't think I'll be getting up that early, especially with the time change. I suppose I may catch about twenty minutes or so before I have to go to work. Do you know if the stream will be saved to Twitch, as the Dreamfall playthrough was? I assume it will be. Rmt, if you do upgrade, let us know which tier you choose.

That's a good idea, that way you will be swept up in the excitement at the end. Of course, that may mean that you'll end up choosing your most expensive tier. Personally I would love that $500 Shifter edition, but that's just insanely expensive. I'm afraid I can't afford that one. On the other hand, I'm afraid of what I'm going to do when and if they have The Longest Journey Home Kickstarter. I'll have to start saving money now. Yes, you're right, it makes sense that the finale will be saved to Twitch as well. That way I can catch up on what I missed minus the twenty minutes or so I may see in the morning.

Final: $1,538,425 and 21,858 backers!
Plus the PayPal money apparently $34,000 (hope this is true, someone said so in the comments), so full total: $1,572,425!
We did it!
I just woke up, I was in a panic to up my pledge, I had 2 minutes to spare and I was pressing every button on my iPad, so I did not have the time think and now I am at the $75 tier. Money well spent... Now the longest wait begins.

Well, I'm glad they got up to the "Director's Cut" level at $1,500,000 with the additional content. The $2,000,000 level was always a long shot. More about the additional content in the Director's Cut ***here***.

Rmt, wow, that was close! Congratulations on getting your upped pledge in at the last minute. Glad you got the tier you wanted. And you'll have early access to the game and get all the digital books now. Thanks for the link, Jenny. I'm really happy we made it to the Director's Cut. (Also love the fact that Ragnar is a Joss Whedon fan. ) The $2,000,000 was a long shot, but I'm sure many will be willing to pledge for TLJ Home if/when there is a Kickstarter for it.
