Adventure Gamers - Forums

Hello all. You have likely seen me pre-plugging my sci-fi text adventure Andromeda Acolytes (PC/Mac/Linux) around the traps, on this forum, other forums, via Discords and competitions-with-prizes and subreddits and Steam betas et al. over the past few weeks.

Well, the Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wadeclarke/andromeda-acolytes-a-state-of-the-art-sci-fi-text-adventure) is finally here. Check it out, and if you like what I say, what I’m offering and what I’m making, please back me, and share the campaign to any folks you think would also be interested.

Thanks very much,

Wade Clarke, Heiress Software

I didn’t realise until now that Adventure Gamers had an Instagram. To whoever instagrammed there with Andromeda Acolytes, I appreciate it very much!

The Kickstarter is up to 27% and almost $4000!

Now would be a wonderful time for you to help maintain this momentum by becoming a backer.

It will be quite a feat to get a pure text adventure through Kickstarter, and one that will help raise visibility and interest for all text adventures. Every pledge, great or small, helps! Thanks.

It’s day 9 and the Kickstarter’s passed $5000!

It will still require steady pressure to reach the $14k goal. I’d really like you to be part of that pressure. As I say (continue to yammer?) each small or large investment keeps the ball rolling.

I also have a Spread the Word page set up with assets and some handy advice:

Each share or recommendation makes a real difference; I see it in the various analytics on the Kickstarter dashboard.

Thanks.

Greetings all. I’ve got $7200+ pledged and six days to go on my sci-fi adventure Kickstarter, and more than six days’ worth of pledges to collect if I’m to hit the target.

While the odds are against it, one thing I know for sure in life is that you have to keep taking actions as if you will succeed if you want to have that chance of succeeding. So I’ll be tackling the last six days in the same reaction-and-opportunity manner I’ve tackled the preceding fifteen.

You can definitely help! If you haven’t already, back and/or promote the project:

I’ve got some cool rewards, like this key feelie that is a prop appearing in the game, manifesting in our world as a laser-engraved USB key:

There are also opportunities to get your name in the game, create news-in-the-game headlines or craft an artist NPC cameo.

If you’ve already backed me, thanks again.

For everyone else, this is your chance to join in something exciting. Thanks for taking a look.
