We've decided to try a Kickstarter that involves digital-only rewards, as our experience with physical rewards for the Xenonauts 1 Kickstarter suggested that they cost a lot of time and money to produce, and did not bring in enough money to make that time worthwhile. If you backed us at the £200 or £500 tier, then you'll instead receive a unique portrait painted by our portrait artist from a photo of yourself! If that's the case, don't worry about downloading the photo editor – we'll contact you and discuss the photo and portrait after the Kickstarter.

XENONAUTS 2 HOW TO PLAY EARLY ACCESS CODE
Once you've found something that you are happy with, copy and save the code in the bottom left of the editor – you'll need to give this to us so we can recreate the portrait at our end and include it in the game! We will collect the portrait code and the soldier details from you via a backer survey at the end of the Kickstarter.
XENONAUTS 2 HOW TO PLAY EARLY ACCESS SOFTWARE
This piece of software allows you to create a custom portrait for your soldier. The first is the Portrait Editor, which can be downloaded here:

The portrait for your soldier is drawn from one of two locations. (This system supports multiple codes, so if your friends also have custom soldiers you can also include these in your starting squad too.)Īssuming there is nothing immersion-breaking with your soldier's chosen name / nationality / appearance, you also have the option to put it in the random soldier pool where there is a small chance it will appear in any other player's game when they hire a soldier! Your soldier will be provided to you via a custom code that you can enter into the Settings screen, which will ensure your soldier always spawns in the starting squad whenever you start a new game! From the first £35 tier and up, players have the chance to put a soldier in the game with a name, gender, nationality and custom portrait chosen by them.
