Oh, and the game is going to make its debut at GamesCom next week:
We've managed to raise a very impressive $13,000 in our first week on Kickstarter. We're all thrilled and flattered at your attention and your enthusiasm for our project. It's looking good so far, but there's still a long way to go! The reason we haven't done more updates here isn't that we don't care or that we're not excited about your contributions, but simply that we've been completely working our asses off on a press build of the game.
We mean to send this build out to the major gaming news outlets, which will hopefully get us a lot more coverage than our Kickstarter project alone can muster - after all, this Kickstarter is just some nice videos and a lot of promises, but the build is hard evidence that we're making a game with lots of depth, character, and attention to detail. The press build has the intro campaign on Hispaniola with about 4-5 hours of gameplay in total. We've got the main campaign all planned out, so if our Kickstarter is funded, we will produce about 20 hours of further gameplay.
If you're not press, don't despair: We're going to be showing the build off at Gamescom next week! If you're anywhere in the vicinity of Köln, Germany between Tuesday and Sunday, drop by Hall 10.1, Stand C011, say hello and try the game on one of our demo stations.
