USB sticks

Update #26 · Apr 16, 2013 · 2 comments

Hello backers!  

The USB sticks are finally loaded and ready for shipping.  I know it's way past the projected ship date, and I apologize.  Since the game's development period went way further than expected, it pushed a few of the rewards back.  But what's important is that it's finished, fresh, and bug free.

--------------------

Also, check out our new website!  You can see the online demo, and check out some of the press that Ballpoint Universe has received so far.  

I would like to offer one final thanks on behalf of Jacob, Nick and myself for supporting us.   You have helped make Ballpoint Universe a reality.

Trailer

Update #22 · Sep 28, 2012 · 2 comments

Hello!  Today I'm proud to show you the first official trailer for CRU.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1M-kdgaJUM Here it is, 720p.

In other news- backer rewards ALMOST done!  Thanks so much for your patience, I realize it's quite late, but due to running out of budget early, I had to wait for certain supplies.  But I have everything now, and it should all be shipped out by the end of next week. (suprise-- an art student that's not good at accounting?! )

And just a reminder, the usb sticks will be sent separately once development is complete.  We can't very well send those out without a game on 'em!  So don't fret, your package will be missing a usb but that IS coming.

In other news, STEAM GREENLIGHT.  There's been popular request to have the game on greenlight,and I think we're gonna give it a shot.  We will need YOUR help to spread the word!  I'll have an update with our link when we get that set up.

That's all for now guys.  Cheers,

-Leo
