      Creator Seb L on April 4

      Just got my Character Sketchbook today in Brisbane. Well worth the wait. Thank you very much Adam :D

      Creator Sean McGee on December 8, 2012

      Thanks so much Renae! Guys, we're still moving along with the game and rewards. If you haven't already received your stuff, rest assured it's coming as we're juggling many large-ish tasks, the sketchbook being one of the trickier and most expensive. There's an update on its way in the next week or so in which we'll do our best to fill you in on each stage of the project.
      We apologise for the inconvenience and delays but hope you find it worth it when this is all done :)

      Finn I was wondering the same.

      Creator Finn Haverkamp on October 29, 2012

      Did the character sketchbook ever go out? I had it sent to my family's address, and I never heard anything from them.

      Creator Sean McGee on October 17, 2012

      Yep, we're still working on the game and rewards. We post semi-regularly on the Dashkin Facebook page, so check it out for screenshots and updates. You can also see a progress graph for the game on Adam's site bitey.com.

      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.

      Creator Axel on August 17, 2011

      @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.

      Creator Ekublai on August 17, 2011

      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.

    21. Ks_green.small

      Creator Axel on August 17, 2011

      Congratulations on successful funding! I look forward to the game at some undetermined point in the future :D

      @Shallon all above as in the rewards before the $39 level: Name in credits up to the $29 pledge.

    24. Missing_small

      Creator Shallon Thorpe on August 16, 2011

      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.

      Creator Sean McGee on August 13, 2011

      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.

    28. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Dave Hall on August 13, 2011

      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.
