@Werehare -- Doesn't sound odd to me. I totally respect that and look very forward to your thoughts on the finished game. :)
@Bill Young -- You're all set! You should have Backer access on the forums now. Have fun and let us know your thoughts in the feedback section.

I did consider creating a login in order to check out the last build. (I'm assuming that a final download will also require a login so I guess I'll have to do it eventually). Generally speaking though, once I know I'm going to play something, I prefer to go silent on it so that the experience I finally get is as unspoilt as possible, especially for something like this where it seems like exploring the environment is going to be a big part of the mystery of the game. I don't know if I'm a bit odd in that respect though.
Creator Blue Void Studios on February 11
Thanks Werehare! Great advice! I'll make sure this month's Kickstarter update will be plump with information.
I hope you will consider joining our forums to give us more of your direct feedback and comments about the builds.

Just a quick note that I'm one of the people who never considered joining the forum to get updates. You wouldn't have to pledge towards many projects before that got really difficult to keep track of. Also, I'm not interested in trying to track multiple conversations from multiple people in multiple forums of multiple projects just to keep up to date with what the developers are saying. Sticking to Kickstarter updates makes it a lot more managable.
Having said that, I think there is a much greater level of detail that you'll get on the forums and that's good for those who want it. For me, I'm fine when KickStarter updates are just a high level overview (for example, once a month) with links to forum threads that contain more information.
Please don't take this as a lack on interest in the project. I'm just happy to let you guys get on with what you do best! :)
Creator Blue Void Studios on December 13, 2012
Hello Aaron,
Please don't think that we care any less about a backer that pledge $1 compared to one who pledged $100! We are so grateful for all of our Backers support! We wouldn't have gotten this far or tried so hard even without the money if it wasn't for our Backers. I just read what happened to Code Hero. Thanks for helping us watch our backs. It would be very defeating to be called quitters when we have been working so hard with so little; with only a few weeks away from a new build.

Hey there Jeremy sorry we didn't see your comment. All the action is in the forums. We were hoping that everyone would have migrated to the forums by now. (Currently 229/677) We can see you're registered on the forums and that you last logged in Nov 13th. We have been posting on the forums regularly. I haven't heard anything from you in the forums yet. Is the forum style no good for you? Please let us know. :-)
True, there has been no "Kickerstarter Update" (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bluevoidstudios/blink-a-surreal-first-person-gaming-experience/posts) since June but we were reserving that space for bigger news, like builds and such.
You might not have seen our research into making a Kickstarter-> BVS blog post: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Tycj4em3LOjQWhQY2T-NGYkoaHoEfS_GiaTjFqWTpac/edit…
But even though we asked for a certain amount, it was the absolute bare minimum we thought we needed. During our research we found that 'the more realistic/smaller our goal was the more likely we would reach our goal.' Also, please realize that our project was before Tim Schaffer's and the Kickstarter community was much smaller. So us asking for any more seemed unrealistic.

Creator Aaron Blankenship on December 12, 2012
I'll second Jeremy's request for information. I'm not out a huge sum of money, but would like to know whats going on with the project. Would hate for the bad PR of the Code Hero project that started in the last month to hit you guys too.
Creator Jeremy Halvorsen on November 13, 2012
Ouch guys...it's been 8 months since we got the last version of the alpha, I know you said that you realized early on you weren't going to finish on time, but you got almost 1.5X what you asked for, and couldn't complete it in time. Ok, I'll just accept that. But then to not have any change to show for 8 months is starting to get really frustrating. Then no communication for another 5 months? I was ready to entirely write this project off as yet another failed kickstarter project, but I see this comment in your last update ("It’s hard to say when the next Alpha build will come, but we will make our best effort to keep you guys more informed. We are alive. Blink isn’t going away.") and a few blogbosts.
Can we get confirmation to stop expecting this, or any status update?

@Q8GEEK: Yes indeed! We'll be posting a big update very soon, plus we have some exciting news to share with everyone. Stay tuned!!

Any update over your game?

@Ronny: YES! Finally someone else who says "Conga rats!" :)
Creator Blue Void Studios on December 8, 2011
@james hudson: We don't plan to have arms or legs visible in the game. We want the game to revolve around the player instead of a pre-defined character, so we want to avoid implying any race, gender, personality or physicality.
Creator Tyler Cushing on November 28, 2011
WOOT! I was worried for a little bit there, but we did it! I'm glad my short message several weeks ago helped out and I noticed the image you used for the "easter egg" example ;-)
Creator james hudson on November 28, 2011
do you have arms in the game
Creator Sara Sibylle on November 27, 2011

Congo ratz! I am really looking forward to seeing the game finished :D
Creator Malcolm McCulloch on November 24, 2011
Congrats. Like Jason, this is my first project to fund. It reminded me of Portal, one of my favorite video games of all time, so I knew I had to be in on it. I have no idea if you'll be able to match the hilarious characters and dry comments, but I love a good puzzle game either way =)
Creator Jason Hilton on November 24, 2011
Woo!! Congrats! This is the first project I've funded and I excited to see it successful!
