Those in the tiers that include the trilogy books and up will get the Premium Quest Log Notebook with their pledge. If you'd like it, but only backed at the "Noob Tier" or "Newly Integrated" tier, it is also available as an add-on.

Because you got us to 1 Million, we are building you an entire Primal Hunter storefront, with all kinds of goodies that ONLY YOU, our fantastic backers, will be able to access. We've had a ton of ideas thrown our way about what you'd like to see in the store. Check our previous update to vote on the poll and drop your Primal Hunter merch wishlist items.

Our next unlock will be at $1.25M and is a Danger Noodle .stl!! This .stl turns the Danger Noodle into a full-on 3-D printable table friend, perfect for painting and displaying.

How high can we go??

We've been keeping something close to the chest, but since we are so close to the $1M mark, we'll reveal our plans: If you help push The Primal Hunter Deluxe Collector’s Box Set past $1M, we’ll build you an entire Primal Hunter Storefront, with all kinds of goodies that ONLY YOU, our incredible backers, will be able to access when the campaign ends. Here are some examples of what we could have available:

Since this is your campaign as much as ours, we want your input:

👉 If we added some Primal Hunter swag…what would you be most likely to grab first? Respond to the poll to cast your vote, and let us know in the comments if you have other ideas (you can also describe the designs you'd hypothetically like to see, too - Warning Danger Noodle shirt, anyone?)!

We also wanted to go ahead and reveal what the Premium Quest Log Notebook looks like - you've gotta be a backer to see it though! 👇👇👇 This notebook unlocks at $1M along with the Primal Hunter Storefront. It will be automatically added on to everyone who pledged at the Primordial tier and higher, and then also unlocked as an add-on. 

Huge shout out to everyone who has got us this far. Just a few more short weeks left! 

In case you were thinking the notebook we've been teasing was the ONLY perk we are offering our backers after hitting a million...well, let's just say we've got something else in the works.

We are opening the door to something special, something we've never done before. An exclusive space designed just for Primal Hunter backers.

I know, I know, we aren't quite at a million yet, but I just couldn't resist giving you a sneak peek. Check out the backer-only update below to see just one piece of what's coming together.

Unlock the next objective so we can drop everything we've been working on!
