République Media Roundup
It’s hard to believe that the République Kickstarter campaign is already one week-old! We’ve been keeping ourselves busy with the development of République while also answering questions that come in and prepping future announcements.
Paulo has been busy coding new logic for the guards in the event they become trapped by the player.
We just finished shooting our first video update...
Jeremy has been updating the Kickstarter page with a "funny" thumbnail of me and the lovely Miri Jedeikin:
Excellent work today, Jeremy. Really.
(Genuine reaction)
In addition to taking pictures of each other, we’ve also been busy getting the word out about the game! Thankfully, the media response has been absolutely incredible. There are a lot of interesting articles and podcasts out there about République and our Kickstarter campaign, so definitely check them out:

That is thee funniest reaction photo ive ever scene Mr. Payton! Jeremy FTW!
Creator Ber on April 19, 2012
Incredible list of publicity articles. I wonder if we could find more backers by promoting over to general Apple / Mac news sites (eg MacWorld) - if they'd be willing to cover it. Republique taking iOS gaming to the next level and being the first time Apple has allowed pre-ordering of an iOS game to enable crowd-sourced funding might be angles that interest them?
Creator Sébastien Périer on April 19, 2012
I agree with Michael on this one. My fear is that a lot of gamers that could be interested in République won't pledge because they don't care about iOS games.
And 500.000 is a very risky goal for only one plateform, and what we've seen on recent trending following Double Fine's success, is that people are willing to give a lot of money on project backed by old gurus on multiple plateform.
I want to see république come to life, and you really should consider adding android, and at least PC/Mac through steam. You would get much more support, and probably break your goal in a matter of days.
Creator Josh J on April 18, 2012
Amazing! I've seen some of the media response but had no idea the list of praise was this big. Great job.
Creator Alex on April 18, 2012
Clearly you meant to say, "Great job, Jeremy!"
Creator Ed Mace on April 18, 2012
Saw the trailer and was hooked. Have a feeling the game will be tremendous.

It´ll be interesting how this will end up. Cutting the non Mobile crowd out is a big risk if you consider how "little" money ended up with "every platform" titles that had big names behind them.
