Still pumped for this to happen :D
In the credits, instead of Ekublai: Benjamin A. Smith
for james greenlee add to James Greenlee / Greenlee Studios
Okay, I hope this is the right place. On the credits, you put my full name "Dustin James Simon". Could you please change that to "Dustin J. Simon"? Because my full name isn't necessary.
Can't wait to play the game!
You'll get both soon enough :D
I dont care about my rewards i just want the game to be out. lol
@Ekublai
When you pledged, there should have been a radio button (bullets that only let you select one) next to every funding level. As long as you pledged at least that amount of money (or more), you get the reward that was selected.
You can also see what you've selected on the right side of this screen, so if there's a green box says "YOU SELECTED" next to the SFX course reward, then you're fine.
Bloody fantastic.
congratulations.Good luck with the game,and looking foward to the classes.I wish sepetember was hear already :P
Awesome, congrats on hitting past the goal.
Thanks everyone! New update being written right now to inform you of a bunch of stuff, how things work from here and most importantly, when you get your goodies. Be with you shortly.
So wait... if I kicked $55 exactly, I still get the animation course right? It's a little confusing since in the $39 box, it says I can pledge up to $55 and still get into the course.
Congratulations on successful funding! I look forward to the game at some undetermined point in the future :D
YAY! :D Congratulations Sean & Adam! :D
@Shallon all above as in the rewards before the $39 level: Name in credits up to the $29 pledge.
Quick question, do we also get the rewards that preceded the $39 level as well? It is a little confusing. Because in the brackets it states, including all the above.
Hey, just signed up for the FX course, really cany wait! Ive always wanted to learn FX from a professional so im really excited. If anyones interested they can check out my current FX work:

cheers.
Backed it with $39 pledge. proud to see a game like this made.
Dave,
That was a reward I was considering adding into the mix, but I don't really feel like I'm qualified to teach AS3. I don't have any traditional programming training, nor do I have any real insight into how correct my practices are. In the end I decided that it might be better to not mislead people with possibly bad programming direction.
But perhaps in the future when there's not such a crunch on time I can write something up and have it reviewed or edited by other AS3 programmers to see how off base my practices are.
Hey Sean,
You ought to throw together an as3 game programming book. That would have made a great pledge gift. I'd certainly buy it, if you wrote it.
Congratulations guys! I'm glad we could all help out!
Thanks everyone! To answer Tom's question: when the campaign ends and pledges are called in, we start organising the rewards and shipping :)
iim number 316 :) when we get our stuff?
I'm so glad this project has reached its goal in such a short time. I'm really pleased for you guys :)
Lol 20,666 :D 666 lol :D

Awesome.

links to the kickstarter and everything!
Not much to go now, it's great to see so much support for the Brackwood series. Worth every penny!
Your videos are fabulous (and very inspiring to those of us interested in animation and design! :D) Glad to have helped, you're brilliant!
Love Bitey and the Brackenwood world! Hope everything runs smoothly!
Been a fan for a long time! Glad to be able to support! Enjoy the little bit I can spare.
Looking good so far!
@Sarah Koz: Adam Philips works on this, enough said.
Thank you everyone! We're almost halfway to our funding goal but only a week into the campaign. New rewards unlocking tomorrow!
I'm "viralizing" this as much as I can. One of the best projects I've seen in Kickstarter!
WOoot! Almost 50% !!
Are you guys advertising like crazy? And getting mentions on popular blogs? And doing whatever else those succeed-on-Kickstarter articles say to do?
Been a big fan since I saw Bitey on Newgrounds all those years ago, and I'm finally in a financial position to help out. I'm always excited at the prospect of a new Brackenwood movie, and so a game is just awesome.
I am so excited for this! Let's make it happen!
