Zarf's kickstarter
Nov. 1st, 2010 01:17 pmHowdy y'all.
My friend and colleague Andy "Zarf" Plotkin (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
radiotelescope to you LJ faithful) has decided to chase his dream to become a full-time interactive fiction author, starting with Hadean Lands, a new, feature-length text game that he plans to sell in the iOS App Store (for starters).
He could use your help in getting started! Please visit his project's Kickstarter page to learn how you can pitch in a few bucks, and enjoy some cool rewards as a result. Three bucks nets you the game; $1,000 results in Zarf visiting you and baking you cookies. There are various levels in between.
(Also, I made the video on that page, which features acthulhia cameo, so you should go visit it anyway.)
Update: So it seems I made this post literally seconds before the project met its (modest) goal (and less than 14 hours after Zarf posted it). That is awesome!
But, if you want to support high-quality, high-concept, independently produced videogames that don't insult your intelligence, I still urge to you contribute. Every dollar you pledge will help Andy not just turn this into a career for himself, but create tools that will let other people follow in his footsteps.
And, y'know, cool video you should still watch. Ahem.
