I had already forgotten I had backed this. This project was not keen in their communication with the backers and most of the their updates were just cringe worthy (which makes me worry about the writing quality of the game as such) and didn’t tell much about how their project was going.

So in all, I’m pleasantly surprised that they actually have been making the game.

In their defence I can totally understand how a small indie team can struggle to keep backers supplied with interesting information while at the same time everyone being very much involved with developing the game.

I’ve met Martina, the lady that runs Okam, a couple of times now and have always found her to be very sincere and very passionate about their Dog Mendonça game. Both she and her team have been super busy and, given that English isn’t their first language either, I can understand why they haven’t been able to find the time to post up more regular updates. In addition to this remember that when a project comes to a close the team have to be in a position to jump onto something else (lest everyone have to be let go), you have to look after your staff and I’m sure a great deal of time has been spent planning for what happens to Okam after Dog Mendoça.

That being said I do understand as well why some backers may feel they haven’t been kept adequately up to speed, but personally I’ve always had complete confidence in Martina and her team.

Really looking forward to the game and hope Okam go onto great things. 

Pretty interesting to see what OKAM have managed to cook up. I remember kickstarter was a real rollercoaster and succesfully funded only in the last hours of the campaign. I hope kickstarter funds and partnership with Koch media have had good impact to the game.
