The Kickstarter for The Gallery: Six Elements ended successfully a couple days ago. We went over our $65,000 target, blew past two stretch goals, and hit a final total of $82,397, with 1568 backers. It was a dramatic, nail-biting, and tense 30 day period that capped off a pretty grueling 5-month grind. Someday people will read about it in a coffee table book. 😆
I have the next few days off. I spent yesterday kicking back with some books that have nothing to do with work, and it was great. (I’m re-reading the Monster Hunters International series by Larry Correia.)
The success of the Kickstarter means I’ve got steady work for the next several months, which is really nice because I was getting a little tired of the unpredictable, constantly fluctuating returns of freelance web development and graphic design. It’ll be really nice not to have to worry so much about that for a change.
Congratulations! 😀
That is excellent news. This is the first time I’ve scrolled down far enough to see your tweets. I usually just hop by to see if there is a new headline …
Thanks, guys!
Vermin King: The Twitter thing was a recent-ish addition, so it probably wasn’t there the last time you visited.
We’re currently setting up the backer forums and doing some additional website work to accommodate the second stage funding mechanism, and we’re getting back to work on the game itself shortly afterwards.
