It’s been a little over a week since we started. Thanks to this article from Rock Paper Shotgun, we had a huge boost in backers over the past few days. We’re now hovering at around 95% of our goal! Any day now, the project should be successfully funded! After that, we will have a comfortable window of time to focus on stretch goals.

First, I’d like to say thank you to everyone for the amazing amount of support we’ve gotten during the course of the project — not just the donations, but the huge amount of feedback, comments, and words of encouragement. We had no idea our little game idea would end up becoming so popular!

Second, I wanted to inform backers and non-backers alike of some project details:

Pre Alpha Prototype

To remind you all, our Pre-Alpha prototype is freely available for anyone to download here. Since releasing the prototype, we have updated to version 1.016, which has critical bug fixes and performance improvements. We will continue to update the prototype through the life of the Kickstarter.

Paypal

We have set up a paypal donation system so that international backers and other individuals who lack credit cards can donate to the project without using Amazon Payments. However, to encourage people to donate through Kickstarter, and to make sure we have the system set up properly, we will not make this option available for a few more days.

Sharing

Keep in mind that we have forums available for detailed questions and support. We also update very frequently through twitter, facebook, and through our site. If you’ve backed, we encourage you to spread the word of our project to your friends!

That’s it! See you at the next update, which will detail the Dwarf class system and Dwarven Career Tracks.
