I'm writing this from somewhere in Europe (I won't say where, since I don't want to spoil it for the people following my Road Trip to Ithaca on Instagram, TikTok, Bluesky, or YouTube). For those who don't know, this trip is tied to a game we've been developing called Ithaca. And I'm very, very happy to share that its crowdfunding campaign has just reached its funding goal!
Ithaca is a game about environmental resistance, and getting a project like this off the ground hasn't been easy. It's met a fair amount of, well, resistance and apathy along the way. So reaching this goal, thanks to the incredible generosity of backers, means a lot.
The campaign is still running, and the more support we get, the better positioned we'll be to deliver the best possible experience. If this sounds like something you'd want to be part of, now's a great time to check it out.
And now comes the hard part: actually making the game! But with the support we've seen so far (we've got 500 backers, still can't fully wrap my mind around that!), and all the inspiring encounters I've had on the way to Ithaca, I have no doubt we'll get there.
See you on the road!
