RE: Captain Cranium - an EXODE character customized by backers

Thank you @eshawn!

This process was refined actually thanks to our first backers in April who suggested it. So it's something made also thanks to player feedback.

For the creative part (mechanics and choice of theme) we can get into much detail or actually just listen to some direction or generic theme and work from there. So it is flexible!

@cranium gave us a direction: he picked a theme!

I worked with the theme to make sure the card was good, original and not 'breaking the starbase'; in this case I felt I was entrusted with the quality of the card so we could proceed on our own.

For the offer it is public, was announced in April and also detailed on wiki here.

It is not only about the cost of making a new card. It is more about replacing a discount by something different than a discount. At some point, discounts can disturb the market in "finding its fair value" so it is interesting to set something else.

In short words we have discounts (20 % at 400 boosters), then 30% at 3k usd, and the next step (5k) is replaced by that instead of an additional discount.

This is an idea that makes everything stronger, expanding the collection, the game features, and giving a nice value to the backer as well.

It is also a huge commitment to the longterm value and success of the game, of course. So it often needs to understand where we are going with EXODE.

I find this offer perfect in all aspects, but again it first came as an idea to replace a discount with more creative value for all.
