Folks,

Oh, what a week! Middle of January, now in 218. What a very special time for us. As we remember, what a week… 🙂 Having now gone out of my lane a little with a music reference instead of a film one, time for a quick recap of everything that happened in a little over a week:

We signed a deal to bring in $7.5M in investment to the studio. I livestreamed over 4 hours in the last two days talking to our Backers about the deal. We gave our recruiters additional resources to use in bringing more people to the studio (target 40 total people). I got to truly smile and take a lot of deep breaths for the first time in many, many months, as the vast majority of our Backers realized and supported how much this investment meant and will mean to them personally over the next two years as we target 2019 for a launch year!

With that announcement, CSE and Camelot Unchained’s profile was raised (which Backers have been urging us to do for a long time), as we have gotten stories and pickup on these sites (in total 241 news/information/gaming sites have picked up our announcement) in alphabetical order, so nobody is offended with their placement:

So thanks to all the great writers, journalists, and sites that took the time to talk to and write stories about us. It is much appreciated!

Ever since our re-abilitation began, we’ve felt like a bit like Sisyphus and his rock. Over the last few months though, even before the deal was signed, the top of the hill has looked ever closer with the upcoming Saturday Night Sieges and Beta 1. With this deal, not only are we confident about being able to get that rock over the top of the mountain, but doing so in style and even faster. That’s how I feel today, and I hope our Backers feel the same way. Now is certainly not the winter of our discontent; but rather, the winter of hope.
