Updated our Kickstarter video again, probably for the last time.

October 23rd - via: namitentou.com
This week I’ve been feeling a bit defeated by us reaching under our goal that we need to be recieving a day, but then I realize that if I just put more effort into everything in general, something has to work out. (Read More)

Now coming to PS3!?

October 22nd - via: kickstarter.com
Yup, you read right. PS3 will now be added as a platform for release. Mainly because there's been a lot of requests for it to be released on PSN and hopefully it may spark more interest in Ping 2 being on a console with a bigger market. :)  (Read More)

Already added a new reward.

October 19th - via: namitentou.com
I’ve added a new reward today. I thought it was a good reward too. Someone suggested it to me via a Kickstarter message. We keep track of everything online so it’ll be quite fun to put together kinda of a ‘Ping Historia’ type of book. I would love to show the process in depth. Even as a gamer, I’m fascinated with seeing other companies show their work behind the scenes. It reminds me that real people make games and that nothing is perfect on the first try. It’s all about refinement. (Read More)
