A-kon Aftermath, Upcoming Demo Update, & 1st Live Stream Info
Hello, everyone! A-kon has come to an end and Justin, Darkenmarr, and Noelle all have made it back to their homes safely. A-kon was… different this year. It was at a new location in a new city and because of that the artist alley, panels, dealers room, and other events seemed to suffer from many layout and planning problems. Looking over a lot of reviews of the con so far, it seems as a lot of artists in the alley, and even some of the dealers, suffered losses due to the lack of traffic in certain areas, especially those along the back wall. Hopefully these types of kinks will be worked out by next year’s A-kon.
One positive, though, is we met with and spoke to a lot of very interested con goers! These attendees and fans around the world have so far brought our Kickstarter campaign up to 42% in its first week!
Within the next week we will also be putting the money we made at the table into the Kickstarter, bringing that number even higher!
In other Very Important news, we will be updating the demo this week! This update will feature the new CG toggle setting and most importantly Rory’s first three chapters!
While at the con we were hoping to do a live stream with Darkenmarr, but the hotel’s wifi was… let’s just say pretty much non-existent. On Thursday June 15th at 7PM eastern, Noelle and Justin will be holding their first Backers-Only live stream to our Facebook group. This 20-30 minute live stream will be for backers who’ve pledged at the $15 Lotus Tier and above, and will cover the plans we have for AVID, its spin-off, and then we’ll take questions from our backers. If you haven’t joined this group and have backed us at the $15 Lotus Tier or higher, please read our very first Backers Only update to find out how to join the live stream Facebook group. If you were a part of the group during its testing phase, you’ll also have to send a request to join it again.
We hope to see you all at our live stream!
