We got really, REALLY screwed by GamesCom. We had lots of mainstream press coverage and journalists the last few days who said that they would love to report on us, but they were currently away at the convention.
Gamescom has basically resulted in about 3 days of reduced traffic. Luckily we didn't sit on our asses during these three days, and we have a lot of big things in the works. This next week is going to be pivotal.
Please, please keep spreading the word!

Thank you for the Updates Falco. I'm also very excited for the increased attention Dreamcast is getting from the press. After all Dreamcast is by far the coolest console ever made and I'm sure everyone will realize that once again.
I hope the mainstream gaming press pulls their laptops out and gets writing for you guys soon! I'm about to upgrade my pledge with an additional game copy.

It would be amazing if this got funded and engine released. I have been waiting years for a user friendly engine to be made available for Dremacast. I used to be a computer games artist and would love to make something for DC.

The Elysian Shadows Kickstarter just hit the $150000 pledge goal. Happy happy days.
I'm also considering a Linux copy. Hmmmmm . There are still some signed copies left.

WE DID IT, BOYS!!!!!
We're the highest funded game to be on OUYA's "Free the Games Fund" and now we're the highest funded Kickstarter in the state of Alabama. LOL!
We honestly hope that all of this big press coverage we're getting for Elysian Shadows and releasing ESTk will encourage lots of developers to start supporting the Dreamcast. Between our successful funding and Pier Solar's launch right around the corner, this is a HUGE time for the DC scene!
I just want to personally thank all of you. It's still all so surreal for our team. We've spent years on this game, and we literally risked everything for this Kickstarter... In 2014 we raised over $150k with the vast majority of the purchases being for the Sega Dreamcast... unreal.
Please keep spreading the word, because we still have a whole week to make it onto large gaming sites and to reach stretch goals!

DC FOREVER<3
