We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on November 17, 2012.

100k target reached -- massive thanks to all our backers!

Update #12 · Nov 2, 2012 · 12 comments

Two weeks into our Kickstarter campaign, and we've hit our 100k target. The enthusiasm that's been shown for not just Strike Suit Zero, but the space combat genre in general has been overwhelming, and we'd like to thank each and every one of you for your pledges. 

We've still got two weeks left of the campaign, however, and some really great stuff still to share. There's lots of great updates still in the bag -- with one particularly interesting announcement to come next week. Keep your eyes on the page, folks! 

Fun fact: the person who pushed us over the line was in fact Steven Masters, Lead Designer on Assassin's Creed 3. Of course there are 2724 of you (at time of writing) who deserve an equal amount of thanks, but it's an interesting fact nonetheless!

Here's a quick message from James and some of the Born Ready Games team, in all their awkward British glory. Also, we've posted two brand new screens from the game. Again: thank you!

      I pledged into the Omega Pilot rank, now I just want to know if I managed to get into the Beta. I got to play the game at Rezzed and loved it, want to get started playing as soon as possible. Just wish I'd finished university and had a job so I could could pledge more.

      @Mark Warren
      If you're living in the EU, you have the option to pledge $80 for the Omega Pilot. If you're outside the EU it's the $100 tier Chief strike pilot that gives you the Logitech stick.

      @MadJackMcJack, I think you'll find that James Brooksby (Born Ready CEO/main guy in the video) was even the executive producer of 'Warhammer 40k: Fire Warrior' on the PS2 many years ago. The dakka is definitely strong with this one ;)

      I see from the Horus Heresy box in the background that the dev team is versed in the ways of Dakka. This is good, this is good...
