We did it!!

Update #2 · Apr 5, 2012 · 2 comments

THANK YOU, backers! In one short week we have reached our goal of $8,000! What happens if we continue to fund the project?

  • First off, $8,000 won't actually cover the printing costs. It's more like $9,000, so any extra is certainly welcome. 
  • Depending on the amount, extra funding will probably be used to bring an interactive iPad version of the book to life. This includes costs for music, sound effects, animation, and programming.
  • Extra funding would be very helpful for promotional materials for Gwendolyn - we'll be bringing her to some large shows, including San Diego Comic Con, and would love to deck out the booth with some sweet banners and table displays.
  • Extra funding would allow us to create some great Gwendolyn merch, including t-shirts, pins, stickers, and maybe a plushie or vinyl toy!

Once again, thank you to all the backers! The final files are headed to the printer as we speak, and the book will be here in just a few short months! We would really appreciate it if people continued to share the kickstarter link with their networks!
