Skullgirls' Squigly DLC is already funded
The Skullgirls' IndiGoGo campaign has already met its goal of $150,000 for the first DLC character, Squigly. Once completed, the character will be free for about three months on all platforms for owners download and enjoy, after which the price will become $5. Hooray! The stretch goals are just as desirable, though, with the possibility of more new characters on the horizon. Another new DLC character called Big Band, the first male character, will be made available if the project reaches $375,000. At $600,000, a fan-vote will determine a third character to join the roster, the possibilities of which are being unveiled at each $20,000 milestone. So if you want even more characters, get on with the donating! Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
