      Hey, I'm sorry about the Kickstarter falling through. I'm still really excited for the game and I know a lot of other people who are too. I'll be continue to actively follow the project!

      Maybe you should think about putting the Kickstarter up again with a scaled-back goal and specifically target communities built around strategy games like Fire Emblem, Shining Force, the Gold Box games, Realms of Arkania, etc?

      I did send you a request for an interview Simon.

      Timothy - The project isn't dead if we don't reach the goal, if that's what you're asking! But it does mean that we can't work at the pace we have been for the past 30 days, or spend money to hire artists. The Kickstarter is to work on Harmonia full time, and if we don't get the funding... well, we can't yet. Also, Kickstarter isn't the only way to get funding, so we'll look into alternatives if necessary. But until that's necessary, our attitude is that every hour spent thinking about anything other than Kickstarter is an hour wasted. A LOT can happen in the last 48 hours - we have our eye on the prize until the time is up. :)

      ...Also, some new stuff is coming soon. :D

      Backed with $25, I really hope that the project gets funded in the end. I'm loving it so far, keep going strong!

      What are your plans if this project does not reach the goal in 48 hrs.

      Cue Rocky theme!!!!

      Creator Simon Bielman on September 1, 2012

      As would I, but either way, I'll be drinking champagne in the end - either for success, or going the distance, Rocky Balboa-style.

      I'm liking the new logo it has a much more theme appropriate look to it. Hopefully we can get some notice from new backers. I would hate it if this project goes to the sad failure column on Rock, Paper, Shotgun.

      Jon - If that happens, the plan in my mind has been to take a week off and reflect, look at the state of everything, and decide where to go from there. But I don't want to think about backup plans just yet - that's time that could be spent giving a boost to the Kickstarter, and with 7 days left to go, time is crucial! We have a plan for more exciting stuff during this next week, and there's plenty of wind left in our sails :)

      Greenlight's definitely been on my mind lately, although it looks like a mess right now. Once this campaign is over, it's definitely something to think about. In the meantime, our eye is still on the prize!

      Creator Jon on August 30, 2012

      What's the plan in case the campaign doesn't work? It's a pity, but it looks like it didn't get much attention on indie related game sites (just saw a small snip on RockPaperShotgun). Have you thought of appearing on Greenlight on Steam? Even if it's just for publishing, it could attract some people to your homepage (and I think you should use the actual Kickstarter logo there, I didn't notice the text at first even though it's the first paragraph!). That's my 2cents. Or rather, $10.

    13. Kickstarter_headshot.small

      Creator Simon Bielman on August 28, 2012

      Aaand new logo! Will color it in later in the day, but it has less of a "taste the rainbow" vibe, which is a positive.

    14. Kickstarter_headshot.small

      Creator Simon Bielman on August 28, 2012

      Yeah, I've heard that criticism before, and I'm concerned about it... A new logo is in the works, but it's taking too long for my taste. I might roll a new one out today myself.

      Creator Tim Orr: Red Shirt of the Obsidian Order on August 27, 2012

      This game should already be funded, and working on tier 2. For some reason, the community is ignoring the project. Maybe because the Harmonia title looks like it as created on word art. It looks kind of cheesy of you just look at the title, but this is a really cool idea.

      Creator Simon Bielman on August 25, 2012

      Awesome, Kane! I've been staring at a giant "ROCK PAPER SHOTGUN" note for days now, preparing content to send it out, but it looks like you beat me to it :) I'd better post the new screenshots here ASAP
