We Did It!!
Tonight we sailed past our initial goal, with over a week to spare- a more than generous backing from the mysterious Wayne Foundation pushed us well into the black. Now we have funding to keep our artists and animators working without worry. Every additional dollar we make past our goal will go directly into the game, making it bigger and better- and there are still prizes left for those of you who still want to become a part of the project.
I am really humbled by the amount of goodwill there has been towards this project, and I can't wait to deliver on our promise to you- that we'll be making a game that will surprise you and make you use your brain and be worth your time.
Again, you guys are all awesome. We will keep pushing on until the closing of the campaign in a little over a week, then I'll have more information about when you can expect prizes (T-shirts and posters will be going out first, soundtrack is still being finished, game of course will be some time in the making. You'll be the first to know.).
