Hadean Lands funding goes bonkos

[prog]

So yeah, Andy's thing has gone bonkers. It's on the front page of Kickstarter, where it's reported as "185% funded". Wouldn't be shocked if that gets to 200% before the week's over, or if it's at 300% by the end of the month.

Blogs with big mainstream-geek/gamer readerships like MetaFilter and Rock Paper Shotgun have started to pick this up as a story in its own right, and the comments are mostly amazing. (And amazed.)

Even though it's not my project per se, I have enough of a hand in this particular pitch that I'm finding it hard to concentrate on anything else right now.

I got in before it was fully funded. I guess I should feel special :)

LOL.

I am shamed (I was already humbled) :)

There is no shame in a novice recapitulating the path of a master. :)

Nothing to be ashamed of, I was just pointing out that even the most award-winning IF author wrote a game about peeing...

I know, I'm much more amused than ashamed :)

That's really awesome :)

Entirely awesome.

who are you kidding? without your mind-blowing video production, andy's project wouldn't have raise $0.02.

At least, that's what a true marketroid would say.
