Success!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, to all 1,214 of you who pledged your support for Haunts! Our Kickstarter Kicked and I just started the process of transferring $25,075 from Amazon Payments to the Mob Rules Games bank account. We raised $28,739 total, and that $25k is what's left after Kickstarter and Amazon take their piece of the action. A fair trade in my estimation.
Next week I'll write up a more detailed accounting of our budget, costs, and schedule as part of our commitment to transparency. On Monday I'll also be sending out surveys/questionnaires to all our backers, getting stuff like t-shirt sizes and requests for references for portraits and supporter messages. First I need to set up our back-end spreadsheet so I can keep track of all your responses!
Thanks again everyone. I can't wait for you to be able to play our game!

I can't wait to give the game a try and also check out the source code when released (a big reason why I backed with what I could.)

Very excited to see this project coalesce! I don't know if it has been said already, but I truly appreciate your stated commitment to transparency! You're under no obligation to do so, but when you do, it will add credibility both to your studio, as well as to the Kickstarter funding model, itself. The latter is so very important to other small studios that are certain to follow in your footsteps! Congratulations, and thank you for lighting the way.
