Just added this update:
EDIT: Also, these changes will take effect for everyone who has already pledged at these levels. Though if you could, please switch - if the old ones have 0 pledges I can delete them.
Unfortunately I can't change the pricing structure in place, but based on the feedback we've gotten so far I've added a set of new rewards - all of which are better than their previous ones. :)
$15 - A license and acknowledgement on the contributor list
$50 - A license and early beta access
$100 - A license, early beta access, and participation in feedback rounds
$200 - Two licenses, pre-beta access, and participation in feedback rounds
All the higher rewards will also of course include participation in the feedback rounds. Ultimately, this should address people's concerns of buying something before it exists, but providing the opportunity to be a part of it at a lower price point.
- ovidiu 15y agoMuch better now. I pledged 50$ for the beta access and license. Good luck!
- james33 15y agoAwesome, you sir have just gotten a new pledge! I am much more confident knowing that you'll listen to feedback.
- sterling312 15y agoJust a thought that popped into my head. Assuming that the product issued in the end is going to be the same for everybody. And assume that the highest contributor that gets to put in the feedback generally improves the software. This creates a free loading problem for those who contributed less (myself included) for the same product. Even if it's a positive externality for the general backers, I wonder if there is a way for Kickstarter to properly compensate for such externality.
- speg 15y agoThe timelines are all messed up now. What's the difference between 'early' and 'pre' beta? Are these still later than the $500 'absolute earliest user testing' pledge? If licences are now down to $15 - shouldn't all the pledges that contained multiple licences be adjusted as well? e.g., the $500 pledge included $200 worth of licences before, but now they are only valued at $60. I understand KickStarter doesn't allow you to change existing rewards, but this is turning into a bit of a confusing mess...
- ibdknox 15y agoI agree - I'm pretty disappointed in kickstarter's tools. Here's a rough guideline: Earliest access - August 2012 Pre beta - October 2012 early beta - Decemeber 2012 Official Beta - late January 2013 Launch - May 2013
- xmmx 15y agoThanks for the new reward levels. I don't know how to code but $15/license for the opportunity to learn with lighttable is a steal.
- seltzered_ 15y agoDoes "early beta access" mean we get also get early access to the open-parts of the source? I'm fascinated by light table and have some ideas to take it to some underserved markets.
- napierzaza 15y agoSo people who pay _only_ 50$ can't make suggestions or feedback on your product? Will people who pay for the gold-master version once Kickstarter is complete be able to make comments or suggestions or is it too late? It seems to be that it's part and parcel of licensed software that you'll get comments and suggestions. What I mean by "only" 50$ is that they: 1. Get access to the beta 2. Pay more than a final user who pays after Kickstarter 3. Can't make a suggestion that would be positive to the product?
- ibdknox 15y agoI've also sent KS mail about seeing if they can merge the rewards. We'll see what happens.
- wink 15y agoThank you, I don't really have a use for Light Table (but it's a nice concept), but after I read this update, I instantly signed up, if not only just because you made noir ;)
- Lewton 15y agoThank you for adjusting the price!.. You're forcing me to put my money where my mouth is :)
- AndrewDucker 15y agoFantastic. I just pledged.
