Latest Updates from Our Project:

Today is a new Neigh!
over 5 years ago – Wed, Sep 12, 2018 at 01:05:16 AM

First of all, $1.5M today, and the final countdown has begun!!!

-----

A few updates for today...

First, some of you may have already seen in an update on the previous campaign that we have added a THIRD neigh button option.  Here's what you need to know about it:

1. All 3 neigh buttons will be available in Backerkit

2. If you backed the Completionist Tier, you will AUTOMATICALLY get the new neigh button (no extra shipping, no extra cost on the tier).  I hope this won't cause too much confusion, and we will update all of the graphics to reflect this in the morning.

Here are the sounds that each of the buttons makes:

The All Neigh, All Day Button (blue)

  • NEIGHHH!!
  • Neigh, Foul Beast!
  • Neigh Thank You!
  • Seize the Neigh!
  • Good Neigh, Sir!
  • Neigh.
  • Need I Neigh More?
  • It’s Your Lucky Neigh!
  • I think NEIGH!
  • That’ll be a NEIGH
  • Neigh La Vie
  • Neigh Soul Sister
  • You can Neigh that again!
  • All Neigh Every Neigh
  • This is Neigh-ja Vu
  • NEIGH NEIGH and NEIGH! 

The SFW Button (red)

  • Neeeigh!
  • Wrong. 
  • Ohhh I think not! 
  • Scram! 
  • Don't waste my time.
  • Bad boy. Go home!
  • Denied!
  • And it's a swing and a miss!
  • *airhorn sound*
  • How about... no?
  • You lose! Good day, sir!
  • Boo! Get off the stage!
  • Good one! ... not really.
  • No can do!
  • Excellent failure!
  • Nope.
  • Your card... it has been... DENIED! 

The NSFW Button (black)

  • Neigh, b***h!
  • Aww h*** no.
  • Sorry, a**hole!
  • F**k your face.
  • Balls!
  • You're a garbage person.
  • Bye, b***h!
  • Eat a fart!
  • No f***ing way.
  • Change of plans, a**hole!
  • B***h please.
  • Choke on a d**k!
  • F**k off, pal!
  • Teabag a cactus, f**kface!
  • Get the f**k outta here!
  • Get f**ked!
  • F**k you, f**k you, f**k yooou!

------

We've also been making massive progress on the card artwork front!  At this point, we have over 100 cards that are at least sketched, and quite a few that have proceeded to colors.  Tomorrow, we will do a huge update to our card tracker, but for now, here's a preview of some of the new sketches!

-----

I wanted to give more information about the final live drawing event we will be doing!  Our artists will be drawing for 12 hours overnight (from midnight til noon Central time) to make sure that people in all time zones have the opportunity to take part in live drawing!  During the event, we will be doing a ton of new backercorns in real time from requests that we get, so make sure to jump in if you have the chance!

(Oh, and one more small clarification- I apparently can't count, because I said earlier that we have unlocked 29 social stretch goals when we've actually unlocked 28.  I apologize for any emotional turmoil this may have caused.  It was not my intention to mislead you, and I hope you will continue to strive towards hitting at least 30 social stretch goals so we can add an exclusive charm pin to every pledge!)

Here's a mockup of what these exclusive pins will look like:

Every backer will get to choose one for free with their pledge, and if you want both, you'll be able to get the second one in Backerkit.

Keep telling your friends about the campaign, and let's get to 20,000 backers!!

Social Goals: The Megaupdate
over 5 years ago – Tue, Sep 11, 2018 at 01:04:59 AM

You guys are pretty much crushing it on social goals.  At the bottom of this update, you'll find round 2 of the goal stuff we've collected thus far :D

Here is where things stand right now:

 For goals that have not yet been completed, here is where we are:

  • 15,129/20,000 backers 
  • 22,942/30,000 social shares
  • 27/100 photos in the theme of your favorite UU card
  • 8/50 screenshots of real FB arguments that suddenly turn into an ad for Unstable Unicorns: Control & Chaos
  • 64/100 tweets to @UnstbleUnicrns leaving a kind message for my mom
  • 3/10 videos of people moving in slow motion in public settings

Below, you'll find a ton of things that your fellow backers have submitted.  With nearly 18,000 comments and 21 updates, it's been tough keeping track of all of them, but we've done our best to represent everything we possibly could!  If you submitted something that isn't represented here, please make sure to include a link in the comments on this update so that everyone can see what you did!

I want to note that we had some delightful NSFW submissions, which you can find here. Viewer discretion is advised. But they are hilarious and amazing so please look if you aren't easily offended.

 Karaokecorn goals:

Fanmade animations (and I know one of these is missing, so please post it if it was yours!)

More crafts: 

Bobby's Truck (I felt this one deserved it's own category:

And I wanted to include all the originals from the first post of these too:

 Enjoy!

Mythical Creatures and Artbook Stuff!
over 5 years ago – Mon, Sep 10, 2018 at 01:12:04 AM

Happy Sunday everyone!

First of all, if you have a second, I'd like to know your favorite mythical creature! Click here to submit your answer!

......

We haven’t said much about the Artbook thus far in the campaign, but to me it is one of the most meaningful parts because it really commemorates so many parts of both this and the original Unstable Unicorns projects.

I wanted to give you a sneak peak of some of the content that will be inside. Here are some photos of things that will be included in the Artbook:

In addition to this, we have multiple of our artists doing full 2-page Unicorn spreads in their own art styles, never before seen Unstable Unicorns artwork, and a view into the creation process of the artwork for the original game.

We will also be including a full spread that highlights some of the best moments of the live drawings (Starfish and Ketchup, I’m looking at you) as well as every Backercorn from this campaign.

The book has a really special place in my heart, mainly because I’m always a sucker for things that document the creation process (and this one is particularly personal, for obvious reasons). I also think it’s really cool since this project has been such a massive collaborative project for the community, and I think this book is a neat way of bringing a lot of that together in one place and showing what we’ve done together.

Anyway, maybe I’m just being sappy at this point, but I really hope you will enjoy it if you choose to get one :)

NEIGH!! The button that trash talks for you.
over 5 years ago – Sun, Sep 09, 2018 at 01:18:28 AM

Have you ever wanted wanted a button to curse at your friends for you because you just don’t have the energy for you? Well your wait is FINALLY OVER!

Seriously, though, we were barely able to pry these out of our team’s hands for long enough to shoot a video of them. When we designed these, the original idea would be that you’d have them on the table when you play Unstable Unicorns and hit the button every time a Neigh card is played. As it turns out, people have found their own creative uses, including…

  • Every time I ask someone to do something in the office
  • Every time someone tries to tell a joke
  • Every time a human being walks by

As it turns out, the uses for a trash-talking button are really limitless.

Watch the videos below to see them for yourself (and please be warned: the black button is NSFW, so do not play that video in front of impressionable children or your trouser-wearing boss):

I can’t even tell you how fun it was to put these buttons together as a team. Each button will be available as an add-on for $10 in BackerKit, and they are also included in the “Completionist” tier.

Enjoy!! :D

So many selfiecorns -*w*-
over 5 years ago – Sat, Sep 08, 2018 at 01:12:20 AM

First of all, you're going to start seeing more regular updates to the card tracker on the campaign! We've been busy getting artwork ready, and now that all the cards are named, progress will be a lot faster. I can't wait to see how next week goes!

.....

Secondly, I wanted to share some of the photos that our backers have contributed to our social stretch goals for all to see! This is just the first round of these (we've gotten so many submissions!!), and if you don't see yours here and would like it to be included in the round 2 highlight (which will include our craftycorn goals and other fun things), please comment below!

So cute! <3 <3 <3

Happy weekend everyone!
