Update #6: The Sleeper Rises!
Sleepers,
$15,940.
This came from you.
Amazing.
More than any project I have written over the past six years, the Last Sleeper burns with a hotter fire than anything I have ever worked on.
And because of this, to receive so much support for it is extremely gratifying. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
These funds allow me to push the production of the Last Sleeper into overdrive. We can - and will - craft this amazing experience. It will fulfill its promise.
Adamah v'a Mith'ra.
Asteria Fe'ra Isha.
The Sleeper Rises!
Onward,
Kendall
Update #5: Into the Light...
Light - it's the only force that can turn away the Shadow of Ephos. And it sounds beautiful. Here are more sounds by the amazing sound artist Erik Aadahl (turn the headphones UP!):
This has been an amazing month - and a special one. When I made the Kickstarter, we had been kicked in the teeth in more than a few ways. Months spent with different publishers, only to find unsavory terms or that the people on the other end of the deals weren't honest about what they could do.
And now the Sleeper rises, on the wings of your grace, kindness, and belief.
In many ways, this parallels the journey of Adam on Ephos. In a hostile planet, with no one to call friend, he discovers a connection. While it is a tiny ember, it becomes an inferno so hot that an entire planet is changed by one man.
On this final day of the Kickstarter, I have but one request: share away. Spread the Light.
