Update #8 · Apr 10, 2013 · comment
Hello Backers,

I'd like to update you with what has happened since Daytrader was successfully funded a month ago. We are in the process of finalizing the design of the game. We are putting the final tweaks on the colors for the board, box, cards, tokens and pawns. We are designing our website which will serve as the hub for claiming your rewards, and as a storefront where you can order a few extras for the holiday season if you'd like.

The excitement from the Kickstarter campaign has continued throughout this last month as we have worked on the business aspects of the transition from a project to full blown retail product. I'll keep you posted on more company news as it unfolds. 

Just wanting to let you know that we are working tirelessly to ensure that Daytrader is launched on the website by early this Fall. Feel free to sign up on the mailing list for more news, updates and special offers along the way at: www.playdaytrader.com and also stay in the know on these social media outlets:

 Thanks again for your support! None of this would be possible without you!

Dear Friends,

I'm so excited to say... we are officially FUNDED! Words cannot express how much I appreciate every single one of your pledges. Each of you has contributed to the amazing process that has allowed me and my team to bring Daytrader to life! 

 So, what's next? Production starts now! We are finalizing designs and creating our official website.. All backers will be receiving a survey from Kickstarter, to help me gather important information that I need to process your rewards. For those of you whose pledges earned you t-shirts and posters, the Kickstarter survey is your opportunity to let me know your size and style preferences. 

 I'm confident that we will be able to get the rewards on the site before November. I will definitely keep you posted along the way. Again, thank you all so much for allowing me to write this email. I look forward to putting this game into your generous hands!

Thank you!

Samir

Hello Backers!

I'm so excited to say that with T.J's pledge of The Entrepreneur we have reached our goal!!  All of you have made this possible with your generosity and amazing support, and I hope you all feel good to know it's because of you DAYTRADER is going to be produced!

There's still 46 hours to go, lets keep sharing and backing so we can have a nice cushion for when the clock officially runs out.

More updates to come, again, thank you backers for making this project happen!

Hey Everyone,

It's been a fun & crazy ride over the past 30 days! Win, Lose or Draw - I want to say a huge thank you to all of you for supporting Daytrader this far! Your support has given me priceless insight into what kind of game I have created and the confidence to move forward with it, so, thank you thank you thank you!

As of right now we are exactly $1,704 away from hitting our goal, that's it!! I know we can nail this but I'm going to ask for your help to get it done. One more big push from you can take it over the top, I know it! Please share Daytrader with all of your friends, family, co-workers, social communities and anyone else that you think will back this project. 

 I've gotten everything I can on my end ready to launch the manufacturing of the games and sorted through the logistics so I can get this game to you ASAP once we are funded. I strongly believe we can push it out well before Novemeber, but we have to reach our goal first! $1,704 is all that stands in the way of making this game a reality! 

The links below make it really easy to share so please use them now to make this happen for all of us! (copy and paste into your browser if they don't work when you click them)
