Announcing Matt Barton’s Kickstarter: “Untitled!”

 

It’s time to take out that second (third?) mortgage and wipe out whatever credit cards you have left: I’ve just launched the Kickstarter to End All Kickstarters! This game will have it all–heck, more than all! We’re only a few days in, and are already getting close to the funding goal (and stretch goal) of $100 million. People are literally “giving me all their monies” and then mugging people in the street to help me get this made. The amount of support is just staggerific.
