Update #1: It's a Go!

Posted on December 30

Holy cow.  NINE DAYS, and it's funded?  AWESOME.  You people are just awesome, that's the only word for it.

So here's where things stand...

1.  People can continue to sign up via Kickstarter through January 31.  After that, I'll allow people to buy in via my website.  Hopefully, people will continue to do so; $2500 really was the minimum I felt I could accept for this project (given my time and expenses).  The more money comes in, the more prizes I can offer, and the more likely it is that I (and others) will do this again in the future.  So keep spreading the word!

2. I've been doing some planning, but it will start in earnest in mid-January.  I'll probably start by constructing the three incentive puzzles, so that my testers can work on those while I'm constructing the main event.

I'm excited by this project, and I hope you'll enjoy the results!
