Update 4: Thanks for your Support and Project Closure
So awesome to have so many individuals supporting my game project and/or interested in getting a copy of the game! Everyone that has played the game has enjoyed…but unfortunately I was not able to get the game exposed to enough people to earn the backers required to support mass production of the game.
My direct contact list and marketing/outreach campaign has been exhausted, and there has not been a significant increase in support to warrant putting more money into it. Due to this I will be canceling the game project on Kickstarter tonight. I still have my 3 prototype builds which I am eager to share with others, I just cannot afford or except the risk of mass production without getting funding at this point in time.
Thanks again to all who have shown interest in this game…it truly means the world to me. I completed my dream of making a board game and I will look into other means to share it with others in the months to come.
Cheers,
- Jarrett
