We Have Gone In Too Deep
over 3 years ago
– Fri, Oct 09, 2020 at 03:15:43 AM
Hello from the other side, Agents,
What a wild ride the last 48 hours have been. To everyone who has joined us since last night (Toronto time), we welcome you with open arms. For those of you who have been here for some time, you have been amazing. Thank you to our fantastic cheerleaders (you know who you are) for making the last hours of this campaign some of our very best in our history of running Kickstarter campaigns. Watching your excitement for every dollar has just been so wonderful for us. We have had a really amazing ride on this campaign, and we hope that you have as well.
To all of the media who have taken time out of their busy schedules to give us a hand or help bring this game to life, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are all truly loved.
To Daryl, the fabulous co-designer of In Too Deep, thank you so much for your thoughtful design and the depth of knowledge and experience that you brought to this project. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you.
Finally, to the amazing Burnt Island team, Josh and Sean, for whom this would not be possible. I couldn't have asked for more wonderful people to have by my side throughout the ups and downs of this journey. Sean, your tireless work day in and day out does not go unrecognized. You are amazing at what you do, and we are lucky to have you working with us. And Josh, of course, the visionary, the co-designer, the almost everything on this campaign, thank you, thank you, thank you for everything you have done to help make this game the amazing one that it is. Go team!! Now, onto what you really want to know about ...
What We've Unlocked
We knew that this one would be ours!
But it was a HUGE surprise for us that we unlocked the Wooden Hook Tags!
Well done backers, well done! This game is jam packed with stunning components and so much content you could play this game many many times and never have the same outcome.
What's Next For Us
Agents, now is the long anticipated wait. In 11 months, we'll have In Too Deep at your doorsteps. But before that can happen, we've got lots of work to do. First things first! We are taking this weekend off. When we get back after our weekend, we'll get to work on polishing up the mechanisms and the art for the game. We will then put our order in to the manufacturer. Then once a deposit is made, the manufacturer create and then send us a sample. We anticipate receiving the sample within the next 3 months. Please note that we are making this game in China, and China takes a 1 month vacation in February. We hope to get the sample before then. If we do and everything checks out, we will go to print immediately. This means we'll begin at the end of February. The manufacturing process takes 45 days. It will then take 1 month to get the games from China to your region (if it is not Asia, that is). From there it will be another 3-4 weeks for your game to get to your doorstep. Keep in mind that there are always hiccups along the way. Sometimes a component in the sample just isn't right and has to be remade, or there is a storm on the ocean when your games are on the ship, all causing delays. One thing is for sure, no matter how much work goes into it, we are going to make it our priority to get this game to you as fast as we can.
What's Next For You
Over the next two weeks Kickstarter will be charging your credit cards. Please make your credit card company aware that Kickstarter will be charging for In Too Deep. Some companies are on high alert for fraud, and don't accept Kickstarter charges automatically. Around the October22nd you'll receive your BackerKit email. BackerKit is the pledge manager we use to collect your order, your address, and your payment for shipping and anything else you want to add on. Please look out for it, as sometimes these emails end up in "other" email folders. We will leave the BackerKit ordering phase open until we go to print. We'll likely close things up and be charging your credit cards for add-ons and shipping at the beginning of January. Again, you'll have to make sure that your credit card company knows that it will be charged. We will remind you when this happens. Your addresses will be locked when we send the games from China to your region. We'll also give you a heads-up about this as well. These deadlines are hard deadlines, and we will stick by them so that we can make sure everything goes smoothly on our end.
Moving On To Our Next Gig
A couple of our backers, who are also fans of our KTBG brand, let the cat out of the bag in the comments section. But here are more details about our next campaign ...
Announcing Creature Comforts. This is obviously a HUGE 180 from In Too Deep. But don't worry, it isn't under the Burnt Island Games brand. We have a sibling company called KTBG, where we make strategy games for families. It is the next title in our amazing line of games that are much deeper than you would expect. Launching on Kickstarter on November 17th at 9 am, Creature Comforts uses mechanisms that you know and love in the most gentle and cozy way. Join us on launch and sign up for a launch time reminder here.
It is hard to believe that it is over and that I am saying this on the other side. But you are all amazing, and we are so lucky that you chose to be with us going In Too Deep!
Until next time Agents ...

Blasting Through Stretch Goals
over 3 years ago
– Thu, Oct 08, 2020 at 10:11:42 PM
Hi Agents,
With another two Stretch Goals down, and more to go we are looking at $167,442CA pledged, 334% funded, 2,288 backers, and still 32 hours to go! As we always do, let me take a moment of your time to thank our backers that have joined us since our last update (there are many hundreds of you). We welcome you with open arms! Thank you for joining us. And thank you to those of you who have been sticking around to see where this campaign will take us. We have to say, we are completely in love with the way our backers have supported us, and supported one another. This is likely our nicest campaign we have ever had. Thank you community for making this such an enjoyable experience for everyone. Now, enough of the sappy stuff, let's take a look at what you came here for today.
What We've Unlocked
More content = more replayability. So excited to add these to the game.
Player aids that double as a randomizing deck for criminal selection, yes please!?
What We're Working On
We can do this! I know we can!
One Last Stretch Goal?
Maybe this is our last one. Who knows? But let's get it anyway!
How to Reach Our Next Stretch Goals
Agents, as we know, when you spread the word about our campaign, we get more backers. More backers means more Stretch Goals. Let's do this thing! We are heading into the last 24 hours of the campaign. Spreading the word is critical to the final few Stretch Goals being unlocked.
Move ITD Up the Kicktraq Hot List
Kicktraq is often a destination for people who like to back Kickstarter campaigns. Currently In Too Deep is sitting at #6 on the Hot List. This is no small feat being that we are competing with some very HUGE campaigns at the moment. To keep us seen and on the Kicktraq Hot List all you have to do is go to the In Too DeepKicktraq page, click on the green Visit Project button, and comment on our campaign. The algorithms that they have created work to help keep this game visible on their own website. Thanks to all of our backers who continue to promote this effort!
While on the front page of BGG already, it is great to keep an image there for the rest of the remaining hours. It will bring more people to the campaign, get us more backers, and help to keep the Stretch Goals coming.
You are all amazing, and we are so lucky that you chose to be with us going In Too Deep!
Until next time Agents ...

5th Player is Ours and Voting Results
over 3 years ago
– Thu, Oct 08, 2020 at 10:10:30 PM
Hello Agents,
Last night, as we were just about going to sleep, an amazing thing happened. We hit our 5th player Stretch Goal. We are really excited to be able to now offer a 1-5 player game to you. Before we go more into what we've uncovered, let me welcome those of you who have just joined us, and say thank you to those of you who have been here for some time. This has been an amazing campaign that has been made more amazing by the wonderful community. We are so excited that you are all here with us during the last hours of the campaign. Now, on with the show!
What We've Unlocked
Having the 5th player was really important to us. We didn't want to add it until we knew that it was just right. Now we know. And now it's yours!!
What We're Working On
Wouldn't it be nice to add one more Stretch Goal?
Is There One More?
Let's recap all of the goals we have unlocked (including the voted on item, the File):
Pretty amazing for a short three and a half weeks! We are hoping with all of our hearts that we make it to the next Stretch Goal before the end of the campaign. If we do, we'll be happy with what we've been able to unlock. We know that we've added a lot to make this a robust and ready game. But let's get that Stretch Goal!
Your Final Mission
We've been asking you to share Facebook posts, retweet Tweets, and thumb BGG images since the beginning of the campaign. And you can continue to do that. We appreciate it more than anything. But during our last hours, it would be really great if you could spread the word about how much you've enjoyed being part of this campaign. Use your Twitter account, use your Facebook page, share it on Instagram. But we'd love to see you spreading the good word with your own content. You can use this link: https://bit.ly/3daBFmv, and this hashtag: #InTooDeep. But please, let everyone you know learn about this game. We are incredibly thankful for your kindness!
Unless we reach this goal in record time, we'll speak to you on the other side!
You are all amazing, and we are so lucky that you chose to be with us going In Too Deep!
Until next time Agents ...

We Have Come a Long Way
over 3 years ago
– Thu, Oct 08, 2020 at 02:40:10 AM
Hello Agents,
We cannot believe what we have been able to accomplish over the last few days. With ... we are really rocking going into our last 48 hours! Before we take a look, let me send out a very warm welcome to those of you who have just recently jumped on the campaign, to those of you who have been here for some time, and to those of you who have stuck with us from the beginning. We really appreciate all of the amazing comments of support and trust that you have written in the Comments section. It feels, sometimes, like we are the luckiest of all publishers to have such awesome backers and fans. It really hits home when we see returning backers time after time. We're in awe with the number of new fans we have gained over the last three weeks! Now, onto the show!
Our 3rd and Final Reveal
This is a really exciting piece to the In Too Deep puzzle. While the Sentinel has its place in the game already, there was very little you could do to control it. This mini-expansion brings life to this robot and to the game!
What We've Unlocked Since Our Last Update
Don't forget to vote for your favourite shape in the Comments section of the campaign! We're eager to know what the outcome will be.
More variability in the game? Yes please!!
Love this Criminal's power!! Being able to control things from far makes for an interesting interaction between Criminals.
What We're Working Toward
Any chance for us to gain more variability in the game make us happy.
What's Next For Us
You commented and we listened. Backers who are excited to get the game with minis noticed that they wouldn't have the incredible illustrations of the Criminals in the game. We figured out a way to make it happen. These amazing Player Aids double as Criminal randomization. Nice work on this one Josh (it was all his idea)!
You asked, we [will] deliver. 5th PLAYER!! YEEEEEEESSSSSSS!

Booooooom! We Did It!
over 3 years ago
– Mon, Oct 05, 2020 at 01:30:58 PM
Hey Agents!
WE did it! We just blasted through 2 Stretch Goals with $130,297CA pledged, 260% funded, 1,784 backers, and still 5 days to go! Before we take a look at what we've added to the game over the last 24 hours, I want to welcome our new backers. You're in for a truly fun experience over the last days of our campaign. And to our backers that have been enjoying the campaign throughout, we are so happy that you've stuck around. We have a lot to get to today, so let's do this!
What We've Unlocked
As we unlock Stretch Goals, we add so much replayability to this game. We're excited to have crushed these Stretch Goals.
What We're Working On
One thing you should know about us here at Burnt Island Games is that we listen to our backers. We hear you loud and clear. Some of you want the ContributionMarkers to be stars, and some of you don't. So, we've created a poll so that you can tell us what you think. In the campaign Comments tell us what shape you would like to vote for. We'll tabulate the votes and announce a winner on Wednesday, October 7th at 8pm EST.
Agents, as we know, when you spread the word about our campaign, we get more backers. More backers means more Stretch Goals. Let's do this thing! We only have a few more days before the 48 hour reminder goes out to the campaign's followers. Let's show them what we've got!
