I've updated the Multiplex: Book 1/Kickstarter project budget with the latest numbers and a few more accurate estimates on costs. It's not too different than the original estimates. As the project stands, I'll be covering approximately $1500 of the book and Kickstarter expenses out of pocket (not counting my living expenses, mind you).

As I've mentioned before, I have some money of my own saved up for the book, so the book is definitely a go; there's absolutely no question of that! But any additional funds raised through the Kickstarter project over the next month will certainly offset how much I'll be spending out of pocket and help me eat and pay rent and such while I'm finishing the new material for the book in February and March. The more we raise now, the sooner I'll also be able to get started on Multiplex: Book 2! Boring Details I purchased a series of ten ISBNs because for some reason that costs less than buying one individual one ($275 versus $125 for one). Weird, I know. I'm only counting 1/10th of the cost of that batch towards the Kickstarter project here, because it wouldn't be fair to make backers pay for ISBNs on other books I release down the road.

You'll also note the higher T-shirt cost than the previous graphic; this is partly because I'm angling towards a full-color design that will cost a little more per shirt, and because I need to produce more of them, for all the recent backers. Obviously, this cost will rise depending on the number of people who pledge at the $50 level or higher.

Here's a graphic for those of you who like to stare at numbers:

Other Things I've heard from Ka-Blam, and the Multiplex: Chapter 1 print comics are on their way to me, so those of you who have won (or pre-ordered) copies of that should receive them in the next couple of weeks!
