Thank you for sending in your surveys. Several of you had special questions/concerns and we’ve nearly resolved all of those. (If we received your request and haven’t responded yet, don’t worry, we will!)

With the final order tallies in place, we’ve started production on all of the physical rewards! Everything will take a few more weeks, but we’ll send photos along the way. To start, here's Hellen Jo's print being created for the Print Pack:

A few more Game Pack sneak peeks!

Here are some in-development screenshots from the Game Pack—we'll share more as we receive them!

We’re keep this short and simple—you now have until 11PM PST on TUESDAY MAY 7 to submit your survey! Get on it because we can’t guarantee your physical rewards if you don’t!

If for some reason you can’t find your survey, please search to make sure it isn’t in your junk/trash folders (it was sent from contactus@lagamespace.org). If you don’t see it after searching, let us know ASAP and we’ll help you out.

Thank you to everyone who has already completed the survey!  Enjoy your weekend!

Great news! We’ve received your Kickstarter responses, and we’ve sent out the final survey to the email address you indicated. If you haven’t received it already, you should soon! 

It’s important that you fill yours out by FRIDAY MAY 3! The sooner we have everyone’s responses, the sooner we can get the rewards ready to ship.  For those who’ve asked about the shirts—they are from American Apparel, please see this chart for Unisex and Womens sizes.

We’ll be offering future packs and rewards through our own website to make this all simpler and faster. Thank you!

Hi, everyone! We’re sending everyone a survey from Kickstarter that will request your email address and name. Please fill this out as soon as possible.

Once we have everyone’s contact info, we’ll send the actual backer survey to the email address you provide. Our reason for going outside of Kickstarter is to accommodate those of you who bought extra game packs and/or extra shirts. It will also allow those of you who donated for a pixel portrait to easily indicate your artist preference.

And then we’ll…

…collect your responses, have everything completed/produced the way you ordered it, and send it out when it’s all ready to go!

A special shout-out to our contributors who are all volunteering serious time to create their exclusive games, designs, and pixel portraits for you. (Also to eBoy for the pixel-art above and in the survey!)

Thank you for being truly incredible supporters!

We were thrilled with your enthusiastic response to the previous update. Seriously, you’re the best supporters a project could ask for! Thanks again to those professionals who reached out with offers to help remodel as well.

As the the project continues, we’ll be asking for other tips and connections that any of you might have to help LA/GS. For now, please let us know if you can connect us with any organizations/vendors interested in providing furniture, displays, projectors, etc for free or at a significant discount. (Many of you have said to us, “don’t be afraid to ask for help”—so we’re doing just that! Thank you for listening!)

Have a great weekend!

We’ve been working non-stop on the sizeable logistical and administrative tasks required to sign a lease for the warehouse, lay the groundwork to transform it, and prepare for everything LA/GS has to offer you later this year. Everything is going well and as-planned!

Keys in-hand!

We have the keys to the warehouse and transformation will begin this month. Up first: painting the exterior in LA/GS yellow and attaching a large logo!

We have worked hard to secure professional yet affordable assistance with the initial “heavy lifting.” That said, we would be in incredibly grateful if any backers would like to step forward with connections who can provide further professional assistance and/or materials.

In the meantime, here are some photos of the Space today —

Rewards on-schedule

We’re happy to share that the great rewards you’ve all donated for are on-schedule. We’ll send out backer surveys over the next few days.

Once the surveys are in, we’ll begin printing t-shirts, history poster, and zine (that everyone who donated $55 and above is receiving). For those who donated to receive Pixel Portraits, we’ll begin connecting you with your artists very soon.

Meanwhile, the Game Pack developers have all spent significant time creating their games for you. We’re excited to share sneak-peeks with you as they become available. We’ll start with two IN-DEVELOPMENT gameplay GIFs of Keita Takahashi + Adam Saltsman’s A͈L͈P͈H͈A͈B͈E͈T͈!

Coming soon → LAGAMESPACE.ORG

Our website will launch later this Spring and we’ve worked hard to ensure it includes everything you could possibly need or want to know. It’s where you’ll be able to apply to our residency program, sign up to volunteer at LA/GS, and manage your membership. Once we open, it will provide current and archived listings of exhibitions, talks, and workshops.

(Backers, of course, will be the first to know when the site is live! It’s also worth noting that like most things at LA/GS, we’re building and managing the website ourselves.)

Staying in touch

Once again, we thank you for believing in LA Game Space and are excited to be able to share the next steps of this journey with you. We’ll be sending updates more frequently as the Space (and rewards) take shape. As always, feel to send us a message if you have any questions or suggestions.
