Nice! Well since we are getting onto the home stretch I'm hosting a small contest in support of HoS. Help me raise a little more money for HoS and check out the thread here! Also, just finished reading the new short story and all I can say is.... wow. Nice read. Quite fun! Do you write these just as little exercises in setting the tone of the universe, or do you have some other reason. I think it would be cool if you write out another one or two and you can zip them up for the supporters. I know I find them interesting enough to read them again in the future.

fallen Good to hear that you are going to write a little more. The stories are fun to read! So, sorry to tell this to everyone but my contest is closed! I wasn't expecting to wake up to another $250 hit to my bank account haha. Oh well, I can send some money home next month. Thanks to everyone who entered the contest, and we managed to pass $18.5k!

If you don't mind my asking, those paypal donations count toward the stretch goals, right? Counting them where are we at? This is a very important question that could cause me to go into debt!

Under no circumstances should you go into debt John - we love the developers, and the game sounds fantastic, but you should never go into debt for this project. Everything you're doing is amazing and your efforts aren't going un-noticed. Regarding the paypal aspect, Cory and Andrew will be able to comment first thing tomorrow their-time (it's 1am for Cory and 4am for Andrew). Even developer gods like these two need sleep from time to time

Haha, well I understand that. I was mostly just trying to be... spectacular. I'm going to put my plan on hold for now, but if we are closing in on the 20k mark I'll stop using my debit card and start using the dreaded credit card haha. I'm hoping that we are getting close! 20k would be amazing because it would mainly help the brothers open up their market and bring in a lot more cash. Anyways, we'll see what happens. And I apologize for any and all typos I've made today. I was using my cellphone and the South Korean Galaxy Note has some... interesting auto correct choices. It also loves to insert random words. And another thing! We've only had 7 people enter the contest, 5 of which are actually interested in the prizes. So guys, get over to the thread and enter up if you dare! Chances are currently 80% that you'll win something haha.

Yes, all PayPal donations count toward the final goal! We've got $80 so far! johndramey - please don't go into debt for us! Remember the project is already wildly successful beyond our dreams. You have all given us so very much, and we are so thankful!
