I'm not particularly in a spot where I can donate before the deadline. I will attempt to share the kickstarter around as much as I can to help make up for it. I do definitely hope the game reaches the goal.

Yeah, sharing will help a lot. If you can get at least one new donation, that's like donating yourself kinda.

I'll get you an early access key somehow. Just remind me when it gets to that time. I'm sure we will have the power to add early players. I have Paypal? Does that work? 

Yea probably. PM whatever I need to send you the payment (email I assume?) and I’ll do it tonight. I’ll be busy most of the day.

400 Backers!

I think there must have been some big donations over the past day or two? I thought it was only at like $15k last time I checked. It's still looking really good.

Yeah, we’ve made more than $2,000 per day for the past two days!

[MrPotatoTed]

We've got 4 backers in the $500+ tier!

My Aunt Dawn won't be coming to visit until March. 😞 

I can't believe you'll have to wait a quarter of the year to make any sort of internet purchases.

I usually only make purchases from 270soft or GOG once a year on my Aunt Dawn's card, and use a Steam gift card for purchases from there. I have another friend who splits costs for orders and kickstarters for things of shared interest, but I can pretty much guarantee this is not such a thing for said friend.

Oh ok. Well, the game won’t be out until about Nov 2022.

I just want to give a big congrats to @vcczar because really this is a huge moment and a testament to his work and how much time he has put into this. I truly can't fathom how much effort that he's put into this. The reward hopefully will make up for all of that 🙂 and we all get to delight in it. I know we're not done, but this has been a huge milestone to just make it to the $20k to confirm that yes, we're going to be able to do it.

You guys definitely helped. It will be worth it once I can play that game. We’re only part of the way there.

I'm assuming alpha that we all on here playtesters wise can play by April, That's when I graduate undergrad (before I start law school in August). Can't wait for it to take up my whole summer 😄

It would have been a true topper if you could have somehow done it without the  Narcissist profiting but I guess no one gets it all... 😛 

I had deep reservations about working with Anthony too.  That said, there's no doubt that at least $9,000 in donations directly correlates with emails he sent out to his existing customer base.  

(The majority of the rest was surely @vcczar's hard work of finding every person on earth who might have both the desire and the means to contribute financially.  I was just as impressed with his work ethic in raising the money as I was with his work in actually creating the game.

We will also make sure to hold Anthony accountable, This is also Jonathan's reputation and his creation, not Anthony's.

Over 500 backers now -- we're very close to unlocking multiplayer/network play!

Just upgraded my pledge to Kingmaker. Friend of mine had his card cancel on him so I'm upgrading it to cover him. Congratulations @vcczar. Done good work!

Hey guys. We’re getting close to 24 hours. If you want early access, you’ll have to donate $30 CA or $24 US

I haven't heard speech like this since the '80's. Though, back then, something else would be stuffed in place of, "chad." Still the same style of chatter I remember. From certain circles and subcultural groups, at least.

I guarantee you nobody used the phrase alpha mega gigachad in 1980 cope seethe blue pill soyjak beta cringe woke
