So

A few days ago I posted a graph of the sudden support this project recieved. I commented how that was the 2nd most support in one day of all time (184 supports). Here is that image:

Now, after that I went on Reddit a few days later to promote my project. I posted in Gaming and crossposted to Portal, Portal 2, Aperture Science, GLaDOS, and a few others. This was the result:

This astounding spike of support happened after 22,000 upvotes on the subreddit, which got this project to the top 25 of all Reddit.

Unambiguously amazing, 1223 people created Lego accounts just for this project!

However, I've learned some things. Numerous comments mentioned that the image I posted was missing Portals, asked if it was modular, and said they wished it was more interesting. They also asked why the walls were so thick. Some people who clicked on the link DM'd me and suggested some improvements for promotional material. I'm working on better renders now, including a single image that shows the chamber in the three main "eras", each with different features and configurations shown off. Hopefully using better promotional material in the future will increase the conversion rate from 5.5% (People who supported that day / Number of upvotes).

I think a great idea is to publish some images for promotion that anyone can download, to make promoting this project easy for them! So I'll look into that as well.

This spike happened overnight, I posted about it and went to sleep. The next morning, it was in full swing. It was an amazing feeling, thank you to everyone who has supported this project so far! As we approach 5,000, I need to produce better promotional materials to get this project all the way to 10,000. After this milestone, there are no more day boosts.

An absolutely ENOURMOUS thank you to those of you who have been long time supporters, without you this project wouldn't have gotten off the ground. A giant thanks is owed to every supporter that commented with ideas, improvements, and suggestions, you help this project get better and better! I'm so grateful for your input, you help make this project the best possible version of itself. The people who take their own time to promote this project are in their own category, you help grow this project beyond what I could do myself.

And of course, even the small nice comments matter! Reading them makes me really happy :)

I wrote this post on the fly, no drafting involved, which is why it might sound less polished. To conclude, here's both graphs of what I see as of today; May 2nd lifted the success trendline by a very noticeable amount!

Thank you for everything, it's been an amazing journey! :D
