CloseHi everyone. Apologies if this isn't an appropriate post. Mods, please feel free to nuke this if it's not forum friendly.
There is a game developer I met recently who is trying to set up an indie gaming studio in my area in Vermont. Vermont has many nice things (and lots of snow), but as of yet not a single game studio to its name. This guy, Blackwell Hird (his real name), has a Kickstarter to seek funding for his first game and after speaking with him in person it's a project I'd very much like to see move forward. Granted, some of this may be because he'd like to take me on as a freelancer for the project if the money comes through, but I digress.
There's about a month left in his Kickstarter and I'm just getting in touch with as many people as I can to either contribute or even just spread the Kickstarter page around a bit. A single Tweet would be such a favor.

kickstarter is hilarious because it's the only place on earth where people will donate to an uninspiring concept with a guy just speaking words at a camera and no trailer/prototype.
glad something like this has generated $$$ while games like american dawn struggle for a fraction of that.
like, it's really staggering. i have seen kickstarter projects where the videos are like "beyond" detailed and the guy is talking behind various gold statues. ya brah i am sure you need dat $$$. game on, brothas and sistas.
what i also like about these sites are people who really really want "swag" from a struggling indie game designer. like, bro if he had shit like t-shirts, gold bracelets with a pixel charset engraved on it he wouldn't need donations.
if you're going to donate to indie do it for the game, not because you want something/expect something back and just like to support the progression of creativity. like, you see a project like this:
and you know this guy is putting that effort into it. and you throw him a 5 because it is just, an utter delight to see content like this existing.

Yeah, that's what I like about the kickstarter concept.

Sorry for the random bump!
We have four days left in the aforementioned Kickstarter and have raised more than 85% of our goal. We're a mere (roughly) $5000 from the finish line, so again, if anyone were willing to contribute and/or spread this around you'd essentially be helping me achieve the last of my feasible childhood dreams.
In case you're curious, the other two were to attend E3 (not feasible right now; no money) and to sleep with Denise Richards (back in her Wild Things days; modern day Denise has no hold over me).
