I split my time between being a media strategist and a game designer. I have been known to navigate the intersection between games, narratives, and silliness. I am also a strong proponent of high-fives and tacos.
never gonna give you up sock puppet version http://www.youtube.com/watch…
Woohoo - we're so glad to have got our backing in before the deadline!
I completed the warm up mission. :)

Love this idea. Glad to see it a success. Good luck!
Nice idea dude, hope it goes well!
I don't feel like such a dufus starting with this. The first thing I attempted was "Clock without a Face". I know it's not a ARG but it was interesting. I know people who are into ARG but I just don't have the time/brain power/time to put into them. This is perfect for me and the family to try.
Please submit this to the IndieCade competition next year. http://indiecade.com/
Very interesting and helpful as well, for my own plans. Thank you for sharing and all the luck to you.
Stinky? Cotton? Striped?
What kind of music?
Wow! That was fast. Congratulations! This thing you came up with is ridiculous. I can't wait to play!
You're makin' a GAME!!! You're MAKING A GAME!!! YOU"RE MAKIN" A GAME!!!!!!!! HOLLA!
98% pledged... does this mean we should all start working on our sock puppets?
Looks fantastic, I smiled through your video - good luck - you are quite near your target now with $5741 pledged of $6k ..... Will be awesome to see the finished game ...
p.s. Lisa/Katie below - I am in the UK and can confirm the Amazon method of funding has been simple (so far....) :)
I like what you have done here.
Lookin good.
Sock it to 'em! Love this project. Will spread the good word.
PS for Katie. If you check out the Kickstarter FAQs it will walk you through how to donate from the UK or anywhere you have an Amazon account--it can and is being done. You are right that its not exactly easy peasy yet.
Excellent project, can't see a way for UK people to support you financially(?) So will support you with some positive vibes instead...
I'm excited to see you are doing another independent project. You've got some extraordinary storytelling talent that should be unleashed on the world more often. Good luck getting this off the ground!
You truly are bizarre, Jim, as always, but in such a wonderful way. I laughed out loud so many times looking at your site. I'll definitely give what I can. God bless you!
