Well, it's possible the book might get done quicker now!
Haha, oh, fun times. In case you hadn't heard, my employer, 38 studios, has gone kablooey and I am on permanent involuntary unpaid vacation, also known as laid off. As a result, I have lots of extra time now! Haha! So, I am going to try to use this time to make some serious headway on the book, though I will probably also be using the time to look for a new gig and/or freelance work as well.
In the meantime: 5 days left, and the 20k Stretch Goal is in sight! Honestly, I have been really really humbled by the success of this campaign and all the great words of support and congrats from everyone. I am so excited about the book and it seems like this campaign came at the right time! Spread the word about the final days of the Book of Wizards campaign!
Thanks!

was gutted to hear the news... only played part of Amalur myself, but the art direction/design was by far one of the best aspects! :)
This endeavor of yours is so inspiring, the world seems so full of life and energy, cant wait to find out more about it And the art pieces themselves are breathtaking!
Really hope we reach the 20k, a map sounds awesome! :D

Damn sorry to hear that, Sean. I believe the exposure from this Kickstarter's success will lead to good things.
Creator Don Reba on May 25, 2012
If they styled Kingdoms of Amalur after Gateway, it would have been a run-away success, I am certain.
Creator Elizabeth Mitchell on May 25, 2012
Sorry to hear about 38. I had a few friends there and I'm bummed for them and bummed for the project because I know a lot of time and love went into it.
