Just tried to back but since it is uk I guess I can't use amazon. I'll back it tonight when I'm home with my credit card

gyroscope

I'll back it tomorrow too; and start tweeting the message! :-)

IsabelleK

I'll also back it tomorrow Jon, I have a question - I was wondering to make such campaign, but as I heard Kickstarter is for Americans only - you launched this campaign with help from some american friend, or my knowledge about KickStarter is incorrect?

@gyroscope @TheMoonwalls @jonmulcahy
Hey guys... massive thanks for your future pledges... I'll be honoured to have you as backers...

It's a shame you can't use your Amazon login... it hadn't crossed my mind till you mentioned it, but yes when I've back UK ones it uses the credit card details I entered the 1st time, then uses my amazon login for the U.S. campaigns.

This morning I woke to £365 and 18 backers... slowly slowly catchy monkey..

Also had a request for some images of the game from idow.ru a big Russian game review site...

Oh and to save you scrolling back up... here's the link to our kickstarter campaign

Thanks Jon(s) for clarification!
I just backed it good luck Jon!

MarkOnTheIron

Great project! Just backed it and tweeted it.

I remember your threads on the development of Dark Asylum, hopefully I will finally be able to also see it on my devices.

Good luck with it.

StormyStudio

Thank you to both of... you are officially now on my wall of awesome... (I'll make a wall of awesome this evening... and put your icons on it...)...

Honestly massive thanks...really appreciate it..

Kickstarter Update

32 Backers, £620, 30 days to go...

Only on day 3 I think and I'm already worrying that its not gonna go much higher... need to keep the momentum going. I've emailed a tonne of blogs and media sites hopefully a few will pickup the story/campaign and help generate some interest.

So far its been a mix of a few GameSalader (thanks guys), friends and family and a handful of strangers who've bumped into the campaign whilst browsing kickstarter...

Only 33% of plays are completed of the video... so not sure if I should rework the video to cut to what the game is about sooner... or just hold position... so many options... maybe I should walk away and go to the pub...

CreativeJuicesEntertainment

I won't be able to fund but good luck!

StormyStudio

no probs... thanks for the luck though... and just sharing word of the project is a massive help...on facebook, twitter or shouting out of trains... anything...

debugdesign

Invested and looking forward to seeing the finished product...

StormyStudio

Thanks again @debugdesign

I seriously hope we reach the funding goal. Not to 'get the money' but to 'get the time' to then make the game full time for a while and see how good it can get when working on it solidly...

StormyStudio

It seems the Devil is messing with my horror kickstarter project. It's been stuck on £666 for quite a while now... coincidence? I think not...

famekrafts

Lol

TesseractEngine

Right, I'm breaking the beast's back, right now...

TesseractEngine

£666 surpassed!

mmzbr

Good luck. Your graphic design is awesome.

IsabelleK

After the first 1000 GBP, it will be easier, and easier to get more money

StormyStudio

@TesseractEngine thanks for breaking the deal with the devil... much appreciated...

@mmzbr thankyou

@TheMoonwalls ... I hope so...

StormyStudio

@TheMoonwalls ... it's only gone and done it...

It's just shot up loads thanks to the past few backers being incredibly generous.

We're now at £2196.00 with 39 backers!!!

All ridiculously exciting, hopefully this will mean we get some more attention...

creativeapps

@stormystudio Good luck you get more funds...

In kickstarter realistic emotional factors are always going to work.

Braydon_SFX

Awesome! Your on your way!
