GameStick Day 1 - Wow.
What a day! I can safely say, we were not expecting that. We are rapidly approaching 50% of our target with pledges still coming in. The response has been truly overwhelming and we are so grateful for all the support we have received from all over the world.
Thank you so much for your pledges and continued support in putting the message out. We've had a great response from the developer community interested in the big screen as well as from those used to working with the larger console manufacturers - such as Andrew Eades, CEO of Relentless Software - creators of the Buzz franchise on PS3 amongst other great hits:
We look forward to tomorrow!
The GameStick Team.

Please keep the higher sitting analogs, instead of the sony-style analogs in the final product.
Creator DJ GodKnows on January 2
It is exponentially challenging for technological innovations that can capture a market and sustain itself in these times, however, GameStick has presented the next step in evolution for gaming consoles. I fully support this, but my only hopeful expectation is that GameStick refrains from accepting any offers of acquisition from the industry giants.
Creator Stuart on January 2
Cool ideas get backed very quickly and this is one of them. I'm sure you will blow away your goal and I will be a proud backer.
Creator Gareth Evans on January 2
I didn't realise that it was only day one. I am proud that my money will go to such a great project (and eagerly anticipating the rewards that come with being a backer).
Creator Hugo Fernando Magalhães on January 2
I am a backer since day one. Congratulations for the project, I'm sure it will be a success! They are innovative ideas like this that bring a new life into the world of games!
