36 hours to go
Dear friends.
We're entering our last 36 hours. I've spent the last three days touring some of the most important retro-gaming-stores of europe to promote our kickstart.
There's 36 hours left to make it – some of the most important hours of a kickstarter-project. This is our last chance; please, everybody, once again tell your friends and social online contacts about this project, activate all your channels and sources, keep them coming one last time for this campaign.
I will be standing ready for you and all your questions in our comments-section during our last and the year's first day from 11:00AM CEST to 11:59PM CEST (that is 8AM-6PM EST and 2AM-3PM PST).
But for now, let's not give up. Let's make the most of this campaign. Let's try to reach this reasonable goal. Let's try to make Days of Dawn come true.
I wish you all a wonderful start into a great 2013 – have a happy new year, everybody! And thank you so much for being here.

According to one indie developer, they are using crowdfunding (through Paypal) to raise the $3k for the Wii U devkit. Now, I don't know if this was a discount price because Nintendo reached out to Notion Games for Super UBI Land, but I've heard lots of indie developers talking about how easy and inexpensive it is to work with the Wii U (and 3DS).
It's too bad you guys did not reach your goal. I hope my information - albeit late - will help with the relaunch. I look forward to your next attempt. Just send out an update or something so your current backers can get first dibs ;)
Creator Bumblebee. on January 1
The WiiU is THE platform of choice to us with its screen setup. As the game has originally been designed to be best playable on ALL platforms (be it by screen, controller or mouse/keyboard), its interface would work outstandingly well on the WiiU. Besides that, having it run on a Nintendo platform would put a smile onto our face as it the game is drawing a lot of inspiration from classic Nintendo-titles like Secret of Mana, ChronoTrigger and the likes.
Why did we not definitely announce a WiiU-version? The option to do so is very fresh and we need to check the availability of a DevKit to us and the required cost. If there's any way for us to go to WiiU, we will do so. I will try to find out before our relaunch and answer the question accordingly then, as I don't want to promise anything we can't keep. But I'm quite confident we'll be able to make it.
Thank you and a happy new year,
Tassilo

Days of Dawn looks great, and a Nintendo fansite actually directed me here. I was excited to see Bumblebee considering a Wii U version, so I decided to put my money where my mouth was. I waited to see if you made a final decision on a Wii U version, and I saw nothing. Really, I think a definitive answer on Wii U support would bring a lot more support.
Literally. There are people posting positive things about Days of Dawn on Nintendo fansites, but they are worried about throwing in support because they don't know if their platform of choice will be supported. They want some kind of definitive answer before they put money into a project, or some of them may feel they are throwing their money away for a version they won't get.
I watched Days of Dawn for a while before backing it. It looked interesting, and I read everything Bumblebee posted. I wasn't really convinced until you went out on a limb to say you were considering the Wii U as a platform. Now with less than a day remaining, you need backers something fierce. I'd like to see this project succeed, and I'll certainly consider backing it if you decide to give it a second run on Kickstarter - or some kind of crowdfunding.
Let me just clarify. You have a huge social opportunity by just saying, definitively, if you are going to support the Wii U platform. You can bet Nintendo fansites will see posts by supporters - like me - to help lift this project as far as it can.
Days of Dawn is in a $65k shortfall, and seeing the project to fruition may require a leap of faith.
Though if you don't succeed this time, I hope you'll try a second run rather than give up. Just give us first run supporters a little bit of a head start ;)
