Welcome to the 60% Club

And as of this post at $272, 449, we have eaten up the money we missed yesterday with a surplus of about $549. I think this was a good day guys :mrgreen:

What do we need to be at to achieve 61%?

Well, we might not get that by tonight. But I think we can get that in the UK or Australia easily.

Thanks for the info Jerry. I am going to make a spread sheet to keep track of this type of stuff. I can post it if people show an interest.

My posting of the Tex Kickstarter video on Videosift has been promoted! It's on the front page and is being given another chance to get enough votes to make it to the top 15! Here's hoping!

I think that the increase in backers may have to do with the couple of new videos on the kickstarter, and the fact that adventuregamers has posted an interview with AC and CJ.

We need more game sites posting stuff like this.

I think we are doing pretty good considering we are almost 2/3rds of the way there and only 10 days in. We only have to get half of what we got so far in twice the amount of time.

I don't see why this shouldn't be doable so long as there is publicity on certain sites.
Some people may also up their pledge if we get towards the end and haven't met, just to make it through.

BTW, do we get our money back if it doesn't make it?

You are not charged at all until June 16th at 2am eastern and only if the Kickstarter is successful. There is no refund to give if it is unsuccessful.

It will probably be easy to get $50,000 or so in the last few days as last minute supporters come in and current supporters up their pledge. So I'm hoping we get to $400,000 by June 12 at the latest. That's very doable.
Just reached 62%! Woot!

Come on, 64% by the end of the day. You know we can do it!
Keep pushing.
We hit 63%! We're at $283,516 as of now.

Great! I saw it hovering at 411 for awhile and wondered if it would get to 63% in the next hour or so. Glad it did!

EDIT: 283,651 now!

Alright! A little better than I thought we'd do today.
Guys, we are 3K away from gaining another percentage today. If we could make it before midnight, that would be the best. If not, it will easily be done overnight.

We are also less than $800 away from reaching our average daily minimum. If we reach that, it would mean only two days so far have fallen below it. Today's minimum was just over $8,600.
