Backed! Looks like you're almost at 1000 backers already. I hope this thing takes off and you have the resources you need to make something amazing for us!

I personally like the idea of the £35 tier also including the portrait generator image. Doesn't something like that save on development time or would you just be randomizing the portraits within nationalities? I think by rewarding your backers with the ability to leave their own little mark on the game you're also getting a selection of higher quality portraits that will match the character's names and nationalities. Or at the very least save doing that yourself. To replace the old £75 tier I suggest things along the same line. Let your customerbase design something simple that can be included in the game. Something like they each get to submit a decal that can be chosen in the settings to mark players bases on the geoscape instead of the default square. Or a decal that appears on soldiers or interceptors? For £100 make it more significant. Assuming you will have a tool to build maps like the portrait generator let them design one of your basic random tactical maps. Obviously you'd get to veto portraits/maps/designs that don't suit the game, lack quality, or have copyright issues. Just some thoughts! I'll be backing you on the 20th regardless can't wait to see what you've done with the game! - Oh also isn't the £50 reward just the £35 Option 1 plus the £18 second copy to save £3? Why not offer them a second portrait for their friend to make it a bit more appealing?
