Good luck on Kickstarter and Greenlight, here comes my upvote (and small tip soon).
You got my vote on Greenlight, congratulations on the amazing game and I hope to see you greenlit/kickstarted Best of luck!
Guud luck! You make me want to deviate away from reverse engineering and get back into game designā¦
Good luck Ray, I just voted on Greenlight and pledged on Kickstarter. This deserves to be built ;D
Pledged and votedā¦ Good luck with your kickstarter
Good luck!

300$ on the first day Looks good so far! Good luck!
Iām still deciding which pledge level to go for. Iāll wait until a little later and see how things are going.
Until then have my Greenlight vote.
Glad to hear thereās a backer out there who still have not backed. Nice to know thereās some lurkers and I didnāt burn through the entire fanbase already.
Yeah, Iām shocked it hit $300 in one day! Usually (from what Iāve seen) Kickstarters get a huge chunk of funding in the first few days, and last few days, in the middle it kinda trickles down. So hopefully the momentum keeps going.
You might want to consider adding a personal video to your kick starter telling people in a heart felt way why, what and how youāre doing this. Seems to help.
Cheers,
Kev
I was thinking about it, I may consider a mid-campaign one. I guess it depends on how everything goes.
Iām proud to announce the hugely successful launch day on both Kickstarter and Greenlight!
It has been just slightly over 24 hours since the campaigns have launched, and thanks to all of you guys we have already reached $395 of our $5000 goal in only one day, so letās keep the momentum going! Remember; you can get a free copy of the game when itās released for as little as a $5 on Kickstarter!
We also already have over yes 800 votes on Greenlight! Keep those votes coming in! weāre getting votes left and right, but we need 5,000 to break the top 100!
Now, once thing Iāve always wanted to know while setting up these type of campaigns is stats, it seems very few people are willing to talk about them. Itās so hard to find some solid information online, so I thought Iād do everyone a favor, and share my first 24 hours with you all.
First, I thought Iād show you the nutty gritty steam stats. As you can see, we have a ton of votes, followers and comments already. At first, the large amount of ānoā votes made me feel uneasy, but if you take a look at the average yes:no vote percentages in the top 50, Retro-Pixel Castles is actually doing absolutely amazing!

For Kickstarter, within 24 hours we have received just shy of $400! I was surprised to see how much of it came from external social media sources I use, so guess what? All that crazy marketing people tell us to do actually works! So remember guys, get yourself a Twitter, post regular updates on IndieDB, and get yourself a thread going on popular dev forums like TigSource and Java-Gaming.org!

Iād do it sooner rather than later, if you have the time, anyway your game is super cool good luck!
Dropped $20 on this. I canāt wait to choose a quote for the main menu :point:
Woot!
Just at the right time too! You hit right past midnight kickstarter-time on day 3, itāll help out my stats tomorrow (err? today?).
Got my vote on Greenlight
