Link explanation by Kalesin: "I put the topic of discussion of the game in "Punta de Lanza ("Spearhead"; wargames forum), which reports on Kickstarter campaign, there are people who have already given money and looks forward to the game. There are also surprised by the percentage of goal achieved in so little time."

Turns out journalists never tell you when they're writing about you.

Should this realy be in the off-topic? A collection of previews on the web about the game? This probably should be moved up to the general discussion, but kudos for collecting these man.

*EDIT* T'is been fixed.

So are the press coming to you or are you actively advertise the game? I'm curious.

Tynan

Well, I made the video (took about six hours), and sent a 4 line email to Rock Paper Shotgun. That was pretty much it. Other than that it's been lots of responding to people. I'm honestly surprised by the response... I was just testing the waters, really. I'm too close to the game to see it how anyone else would.

When some game testers (like me) could expect new builds? :D

Tynan

A few days at least. I'm doing some work on a "real" trailer right now so development has slowed down for a bit.

The overall reaction and interest to it so far seems to be pretty good.
Also, Feature creep damnit!

Tynan: Psychotic burning squirrel attacks.

I actually faked him out. Psychotic burning squirrel attacks are already in the game :) (given the right combo of events)

Kalesin why didn't you apply for the concept art position? I think you really understand the vision for the game :D
