A number of folks have been helpful enough to write about the game & it’s attempt to use Kickstarter as funding method.

Simon Ferrari writes about it at the GaTech News Games blog.

Eric Caoili writes about it at GameSetWatch (and reminds me I must work extra hard to make “EA vet” not the simplest way to describe my background in a title).

Yancey Strickler, co-founder of Kickstarter, put up an interview with me me on the Kickstarter blog.

And last but certainly not least, L.B. Jeffries wrote it up for PopMatters.

Thanks all! And thanks to everyone’s who’s pledged! I can’t possible express my appreciation enough.

Oh, and in other Kickstarter news, there’s a very cool game mag called Kill Screen looking for some funding to publish its first issue.

Watch as I marshal the power of teh internets to get word out about the Kickstarter project for my serious game:

I’ve started blogging on Gamasutra about the process, which I thought might be helpful to other indie devs considering using Kickstarter:

Hopefully in doing so I will have helpful insight to share with people, and not become an obnoxious shill. Fingers crossed.

However – $836 already pledged after less than a day! W00t!

Thanks all. :)
