Hello World...

I'm proud to announce that our Kickstarter campaign is now live. I pressed the 'GO!' button this morning.



Please check out the page, and please please spread the word as best you can, tell people, share on your favourite social networks... We really hope to achieve our goal, so obviously if you can pledge in exchange for one of our awesome rewards we will be forever grateful.

Please check out the official KickStarter page and the rewards over at:

Thank you

Jon Draper aka Stormy...

P.S. Yes my fingers are severely crossed this does well...

    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 :)

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

    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 :D

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

    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.

    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...
  • I won't be able to fund but good luck!
  • StormyStudioStormyStudio United KingdomMember Posts: 3,989
    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...
  • debugdesigndebugdesign Member Posts: 886
    Invested and looking forward to seeing the finished product...
  • StormyStudioStormyStudio United KingdomMember Posts: 3,989
    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...
  • StormyStudioStormyStudio United KingdomMember Posts: 3,989
    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...

    After the first 1000 GBP, it will be easier, and easier to get more money :)
  • StormyStudioStormyStudio United KingdomMember Posts: 3,989
    @TesseractEngine thanks for breaking the deal with the devil... much appreciated...

    @mmzbr thankyou

    @TheMoonwalls ... I hope so...
  • StormyStudioStormyStudio United KingdomMember Posts: 3,989
    @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...

    @stormystudio Good luck you get more funds... :)

    In kickstarter realistic emotional factors are always going to work.
