Looks like working together is a bit of a stretch for those two.

Mimic gets to 'handle' more teamwork

[The Glyphstone]

Mimic really is 'handy' to have around.

Hey guys, the Rusty plush Kickstarter has finally gone live! Thanks for your patience. It took a while but we are good to go!

[Keld Denar]

I'm backing that! Good stuff. I'm on the fence about buying 2...

I hope you don't mind, I added it into my sig, and I also relinked it on Facebook for some of my gamer friends. I hope this takes off!

Guarding the door: Bottle-Fairy asks riddle.

Answering is optional ?

[Keld Denar]

I believe the appropriate riddle here would be "what the hell did I drink last night?"

Thanks for the support! Word is spreading, but we still have a long way to go.

Mike, how much do you actually have to get to for this? Do you need the full $9000+? Or would like, 6k be enough to get started? Thats kinda a rough number to get to, thats all.

I know she isn't the brightest bulb in the egg carton, but really?

Sadly, the shipping and handling costs are out of my hands. Besides production costs, this Kickstarter has to cover the costs of shipping the entire stock of plushes to me, then from me to the individual buyers.

The good news is that I don't need to pre-sell the entire run to make it happen. I've been contacting a lot of high-echelon geeks in the gaming industry and if one or two of them give the project a plug, I think the target will be hit just fine.

[Keld Denar]

Tweet Will Wheaton. He is a HUGE champion of geek culture, has like, 65,000 followers on twitter, and is a D&D gamer. If he doesn't at least retweet you, I'd be very surprised.

EDIT: Vin Diesel is apparently a gamer as well. Behold, the power of social networking!

[The Glyphstone]

Definitely. If you get Wil Wheaton interested (and this seems like the sort of thing he'd like), you'll get this practically funded overnight. Vin Diesel's a longer shot, since while he is a massive geek his audience doesn't really fit the right profile.

[RustMonster]

I'm a big fan of Wil Wheaton, actually. I sent him a tweet a couple days ago, and also emailed some other high-profile geeks (Tracy Hurley, John Kovalic, etc.) as well. Here's hoping one of them picks it up. It might help if they got linked to it from more than one person though, right?

[The Glyphstone]

Sadly, I don't Tweet.

[Keld Denar]

Ok, so I finally caved in and joined the dark side. I has a twitter account. How do I retweet? I'll do just about anything I have to to get this off the ground, including interact with other people!

@Wyvernhand appears to be my account name.

EDIT: So, I figured out how to look up your tweet, and retweet it, but...alas, I have NO followers, so it doesn't do any good. Should I just tweet the link to Mr Wheaton myself? Or is that considered spamming?

EDIT EDIT: I got you retweeted on a Seattle radio station's podcast for BJShea's Geek Nation. That should touch a thousand or so people, among which are a few popular geek comedians and actors.

[RustMonster]

Yeah, I would think creating a twitter to retweet stuff directly to Wil would be considered spamming. I don't want to annoy anyone. But thanks for the retweet on Geek Nation!

In other news, today's update is interactive.

Unfortunately, the game runs super slow. Like, 2 frames per second slow.

That's surprising... it runs rather fast on every machine I've tested it on. What are you running?

WIndows Vista, 2 gigabytes RAM, 2.3 gigahertz Intel Duo Core.
Not a speed machine, admittedly.
I was playing it on Internet Explorer 9. Playing it on Firefox 15, it's much faster.

[The Glyphstone]

I'm playing in Firefox and it's incredibly slow too. About the same specs as Raven but with Windows 7.

It runs quite fast on my Intel single core, 2.8 GHz, 1 GB, with Firefox on Win2K.
Highscore 39000+

But I would like a button/slider to turn the music off/down...

[RustMonster]

I've gotten a pretty good list of requested features for the game (#1 is a mute button), and a better idea how to solve the framerate problem. Now all I need is a few hours to do the work.

In the meantime, the Rusty Kickstarter only has a week left, and it's not too late to hit the goal! I've been linking it to various RPG forums but if everyone helps spread the word, it stands a better chance of succeeding. Thanks!
