Update #4: The Avatar Creator!
Oh hello!
Work continues on the innards of our game system. We're dealing with tough questions like "just how many exchanges of witty in-game repartee do you get before you have to actually work out? And exactly how many obscure sci-fi references can we fit into this before alienating absolutely everyone?"
Meanwhile, we have a toy ready for you: the avatar creator! Backers who are at a level that includes a beta code ($25 and up) will be getting an invite to the avatar creator shortly. You can start putting together your ultimate digital self. We're sending these out one at a time, so you should get yours within the next few hours as we work through the list.
In project news, we're a little shy of halfway there, which is awesome! Thank you so much! We've hit a bit of a slump, which we're told is pretty normal for the middle of a Kickstarter campaign, but we could really use your help in spreading the word. As many of you know, Kickstarter is all-or-nothing so if we don't hit our goal, we don't see a dime.
You can use the links at the bottom of the Kickstarter video to share our project on Twitter and Facebook. Bonus points for anyone who posts about it on their blog!
Thank you for getting us this far! We're really excited about the project, and hope you are too! We also like exclamation points!
