New Update:
1/14/2016 - 4:10pm PST
This update is specifically to answer questions about the H1Z1 Hoodie distribution:
1) Daybreak Games is working on generating the Hoody codes and when ready will send them to us for distribution .
2) When we receive the codes from Daybreak we will distribute them to the contributor email addresses that were provided to the Indiegogo campaign.
3) For the codes to work, Daybreak must add the Hoody asset to the live H1Z1 servers. They have told us this will happen with the next scheduled patch update this month.
4) Daybreak will make sure that the Hoody asset is added to the live H1Z1 game servers before they give us the codes to distribute.
5.) When we distribute the Hoody codes, they will all be e-mailed out to everyone simultaneously during the same distribution time window. We will also announce that we are distributing the codes so that everyone knows.
6.) If you specifically contributed multiple times and have multiple transactions in the contribution log with each contribution being $10 or more - you will receive one code per transaction. So if you donated twice for two Hoodies, you will get two Hoodies.
That's it!
More info soon...

Quick Update:
THE CAMPAIGN HAS CLOSED!!! WE ARE NOW BEGINNING WORK ON THE REWARD TIER FULFILLMENT PROCESS!!! YAY!
Twin Galaxies would like to warmly thank EVERYONE for their positive support and tremendous contributions to #Right2Game.
Although it might have been ideal to hit our specific funding target so that we could progress with maximum speed, the money and significant marketing awareness that has been generated through this campaign has been tremendous for us and all of it will go exactly toward helping Twin Galaxies make progress on the important items we have indicated on our page, just at a slightly more moderate pace!
The #Right2Game mission is a long term effort, and because of your help we have collectively taken a very important step forward - and many large new partners have reached out to us with the desire to help and participate in the future!
Our Twin Galaxies initiatives can now work even harder to help create more public access to the recognition of an individual’s achievements and create greater personalization of those accomplishments so that the mainstream will be able to fully emotionally invest itself and learn, understand and respect the time investment value made by people into playing video games.
With more understanding, there is more positivity and mainstream support!
We are now moving into the "fulfillment" part of the campaign so that we can get all those rewards out to the contributors as soon as humanly possible!
For those of you eagerly awaiting your H1Z1 Hoodie, we are working closely with Daybreak games right now to coordinate the Hoodie code distribution and will have more info soon!
For those that have contributed, please make sure your e-mail and contact info is accurate so that we can reach out to you and make sure that your reward tier fulfillment is exactly correct (for instance if you are getting a T-shirt we will need to know size, etc.)
More information soon!
In the meanwhile, if you haven't yet had a chance to visit www.TwinGalaxies.com and sign up to become a member, please do!

H1Z1 HOODIE UPDATE:
"I just contributed, how do I receive my H1Z1 Twin Galaxies Hoodie?"
Codes for the Hoodie will be distributed once the campaign ends and we begin our fulfillment process for all the reward tiers. We will work with Daybreak Games specifically to deliver the Hoodie codes.
People should get the hoodie NOW, because once the campaign is over it will not be offered again and there will likely be no other way to get it! It may become one of the rarest hoodies in the entire game!
There are only 6 days left in the campaign! Act fast!
We are excited to offer this hoodie and honored by Daybreak's support. Together we can all help promote a more positive mainstream viewpoint regarding the activity of playing video games.

UPDATE:
We’re finally able to unveil one of our coolest perks yet! Our good friends at Daybreak Games are excited to show support for the #Right2Game campaign by bringing our positive message about the activity of playing video games into their amazing zombie survival MMO, “H1Z1”. In a forthcoming game update, now your character will be able to sport our official black Twin Galaxies hoodie in-game! It is an entirely unique hoodie and will only be available to get through the #Right2Game campaign! If you are an avid H1Z1 player, this Hoodie is a "must get" and you already know why!
And for real-life hoodie collectors, by popular demand we’ve now made the physical real hoodie available as a standalone perk (and we’ll throw in the digital “H1Z1” hoodie too to make sure art imitates life!) Note: Final art for digital hoodie image may vary slightly from TG Hoodie.

As a video game enthusiast or someone who knows video game players, you have
likely encountered the pervasive, negative notion that people who play video
games are wasting their time and should be doing something “more productive”
instead. The effect on gamers everywhere—especially
young ones—is widespread embarrassment and downward social pressure around an
activity that they love.
What is not NEARLY as widespread is the understanding that playing video
games actually presents numerous benefits and the passion should be supported.
Twin Galaxies is on a mission to raise awareness that avid gaming is a worthwhile, socially acceptable, and important activity that’s deserving of more understanding and support. To accomplish this,we are raising funds for the specific things listed below:
- A new social media website platform module with features tailored exclusively for video game players to get greater recognition and exposure.
- A mobile app to increase access, participation and mobile gaming recognition within the Twin Galaxies system.
- Live streamed events, programs and competitions broadcasted through our media network Twin Galaxies Live at www.tglive.com .
We have been working hard, but can’t get to the finish line on our own.
For the small cost of a T-Shirt, and your strong word of mouth, you can help us
raise $250,000 and move us toward completion on all of the above as quickly as
possible.
At the very core of our beliefs is the idea that we all have the #Right2Game without being culturally shamed, and that we should collectively foster a social climate where gamers feel comfortable considering the career options, mental and physical health benefits, and meaningful social connections that the video game space provides.
All of our initiatives aim to accurately represent the spirit
of gaming as a fun, healthy, and ultimately rewarding activity that should not
be frowned upon and discouraged.
But in order for
our planned efforts to reach success, we need your support. We’re calling on gamers everywhere to join
us in our fight for the

TWIN GALAXIES

Together, our goal is to transform public perception so that those
who achieve in the area of video games—whether it’s playing them well,
designing them, or growing communities around them—will be as respected and
encouraged as those who achieve in sports, music, or any other cultural area
where people choose to invest their time and efforts.

Much of what Twin Galaxies will be trying to do for the image
and profile of gamers has never been done before. And as with any new venture,
success can be a long game.
Thankfully, Twin Galaxies as an organization has stood the test
of time. Since it’s founding in 1981, it has stood for gamers, and has
established relationships on gamers’ behalf throughout the decades.
Currently, Twin Galaxies is overseen by Jace Hall, founder of
Monolith (creators of the “Fear” and “Condemned” video game franchises, among
many others) and former Senior Vice President of Warner Brothers Interactive
Entertainment. With a proven track record in business and many lasting
contributions already to the world of video gaming he is positioned to propel
the objectives of Twin Galaxies forward with his vast network of industry
contacts and team of gaming consultants and experts.
But even with all this – maintenance and growth of a core
database of 3 decades of gamer achievements requires support in order to live online
forever, and changing societal perception remains a complex, long-term endeavor
that can be costly and involves multiple simultaneous initiatives like the ones
we’ve described in this campaign.
With your help as expressed through your support of this
campaign, we stand the best chance of success together.
