A message from Joel Tess

[sand4fish]

I have been in touch with Joel (Awesome Japan) recently to ask few questions, like the expiration date for the Paypal campaign, what's up with the photoshopped Ryo and Paypal backers' surveys. So I'm just sharing the info for those who might have wanted to know about these.

Happy New Year!

Sorry for the late reply. I came down with a serious case of flu which is still leaving me woozy and blurry eyed.

Anywhooo... the Slacker Backer should be going at least until this summer, likely up to the near end of this year.

About the pic, no that is not the final. There is much left to do graphically, so that stuff won't be pinned down for a while. Though he's looking pretty handsome now!!!

PayPal backers will also have surveys. They will need to choose their preferences the same as the KS backers. Once it is set up, they will receive an email through the mail address registered with PayPal.

Any more questions, just let me know anytime. Hope the year treats you well!

Joel

*As for the "pretty handsome now" comment, it was because of this:

Joel, I better be able to talk to your NPC in III.

Haha I love Joel. I hope he's feeling better soon.

Poor Joel. The flu sucks.

But yeah, continual reminder not to freak out about the graphics like what we're seeing is even near final.

Maybe I'm reading into this, but I'm thinking Summer is when YSnet will determine if the game gets delayed or not.

Could be the plan is to wrap up the Slacker Backer campaign like six months or so before the game launches.
