Update #4: Aaand funded!

Posted on January 21, 2010

Well, this is it. Life Flashes By is going to be funded, and it's all because of you lovely people. Once all the credit cards get processed and stuff, I'll be collecting info from everyone who requested rewards so you can get them sent to you. In the meantime, watch this space in the next little while for artwork in progress, musical clips, more Exclusive Video Updates™, and whatever manner of peeks behind the curtain I deem fit for your consumption.

I have to say, I'm already looking forward to handwriting 40+ postcards...

Update #3: Quick little update...

Update #1: Exclusive Video Update™ #1

Posted on November 11, 2009

Here be the first of probably many Exclusive Video Updates™ for Life Flashes By, in which I talk about the game's two main characters, show off the branching plot outline and first screenshot of the game, read random stuff from my notebook, and say "um" and "uh" a lot, just like I do on podcasts. I haven't yet decided whether to make subsequent video updates available only to backers, but this one, at the very least, is available for everyone to enjoy. So... enjoy!

      The fact that you say "Manic Pixie Dream Guy" makes me very very happy. Looking forward to the game!
