    Update #9 WHAT THE?

    Ok, sorry for the lateness on this update. Obviously we didn't meet our lofty goals to get Bodoink going through Kickstarter. We are still moving ahead with the project and there will be an awesome blog entry on what we learned about this process. In the meantime, all the money you wanted to throw our way can go to this other great Chicago based project.

    This game looks super fun and we are going to give them our full endorsement,whether they want it or not!

        Don't worry! Kickstarters always surge in the final days as it gets more promotion from 'ending soon'. You guys should connect with Colbert Nation and tell them to get in the game. :)

    Update #5 An example of what you will vote on.

    The Avatars in Bodoink love dancing, like seriously LOVE dancing. If you fund a specific voting tier, you'll be able to vote on what kind of dances they will do when they are successful. Below are some styles we want you to vote on:

    The Carlton:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS1cLOIxsQ8

    The JCVD:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTmK2s24O2I&feature=related

        Gotta go with MJ -- I mean really, who can beat MJ, even though he is obvious.

        For an avitar, I think John Claude would be the funniest.

        MJ for sure!! The others were amusing and all, but no one can touch him as a dancer.

    Update #4 Gamespot article about Bodoink

    Good interview with Robomodo/Robomite President Josh Tsui talking about Bodoink and Kickstarter. Interesting twist at the end where the interviewer becomes the interviewee.

    Help spread the word!

    "GS: Do you expect Kickstarter to become a common venue for established independent developers to help get their games made?

    JT: That's the experimental part of it that is really exciting. No console game developer has ever tried this before. Most games out there on Kickstarter are PC and mobile games. So, as scary as it sounds, we are kind of pioneering this, and we are hoping we can set a good example for other established independent developers who want to give it a try. In this day and age, everyone should have some options regarding how they want to create their projects."
