-crosses fingers and hopes this works-
Edit: HAHAHAHA IT WORKED. okay all art will be uploaded to clumps like this or I may eventually compile it all on one blog then. unless it gets too long lol.

PLEASE PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHOOT ME IDEAS. I can only come up with so much before I run out lol.

The first thing that I felt, was warmth and a subtle breeze brushing across my pelt. I twitch, awakening to this new world, to this new body. I would flick my ears, my tail, gathering my thoughts. Who was I? Where was I? How? Thoughts pranced around my mind, confusing me. To escape the whirl wind of thought, I tried doing more. I moved a hoof, a hoof was it? I moved my head up, dizzy from how quickly I moved. Everything was black still... Light.. Shouldn't there be light? Where was it? I moved a bit more, confused at the darkness of it all, till I found it. My eyes would open, blinded by the sun shining through the trees. Making dappled patterns upon the cool grass. A new world, new things, new words formed in my head, I stared in awe of my surroundings. As far as I could see, were trees and knolls, endless it seemed. I became adventurous, sniffing my surroundings learning the new smells, listening and watching. I stumbled about new things like log, flower, stone, seemed to sprout like the plants I saw all around me. I went from stumbling, to walking, to running through the vast expanse over joyed by this perfection. I grew wary and soon found a hallowed tree, it was large an ancient looking I began to wonder... Where had this all came from? The perfect and beauty... It all seemed great but... I couldn't grasp why this was all here. Like there should be something else. I sat and watched everything, trying to understand it all.

(This is just a short intro to my life of the Endless Forest, expect more to come. excuse grammar and poor other English things. I never have been good at writing)

The crowdsourcing campaign for remaking the technology behind The Endless Forest reached 60% yesterday. With 2 weeks to go, it remains possible that we achieve the goal. But things do need to pick up a bit.

Something weird happened since we extended the campaign.



See how the pink bars dropped as soon as the extension started? Lesson learned!
A lot of people in the community encouraged us to extend the campaign but so far this seems to have been a bad decision (we could have been working on the game already instead of managing the campaign). We can only hope that people are saving up their money to contribute at the last moment. I'm sure we will close with a peak. But will it be high enough?

On a more optimistic and wonderful note, have a look at the list below. It shows where people who contribute are coming from (through clicking on a link, I presume).



In other words: YOU ARE THE BEST!
In the two other crowdsourcing campaigns we've done, it was Twitter that directed most people towards contributions. But you guys are beating Twitter and Facebook, and EVERYONE! That alone for me signifies success. It confirms that this community is wonderful and prepared to support the things they love however they can.

I guess we just overestimated the size of the community. But thanks to a remake we will be able to grow!

As a final graph, screenshotted from the IndieGogo admin pages, I'd like to share the breakdown into countries where the contributions are coming from.



Unsurprisingly, the United States are in the lead.
