Sometimes when I re-read some of my posts I sound
like a broken record. It seems that I keep repeating the same phrases -
"thank you" again and again. I feel like I lack the ability to express
my gratitude. I don't know what else I can say, so I'll say it in
Vietnamese instead -
Cảm ơn!
We did it together - all
861 backers,
co-workers, friends and families. When I think about the time I first
drew the sketch of Mathilde (see below) and Giselle in 2002, it seems so
distant but somehow feels like it was yesterday. Today, you've all
granted me my wish - to finish what I started.
And, of course, we unlocked
stretch goal #2
- the miniature replica of Giselle's MP5 for backers who pledged at the
$50 tier and above - an amazing achievement. We didn't quite make it
far enough to unlock the figurine of Mathilde to stand beside Giselle,
but maybe it's just as well - they'd only fight :)
Before it's too late I want to say a special thank you too to the other creative teams on
Kickstarter that held cross-promotions with us, and helped to tell the world about Carbon Grey. We are in awe of your work.
In
the following week, I will send out the survey to collect your
addresses - please add any special notes you have for me then. Hopefully
you all caught the mix-up with the US shipping costs (See the main page
for details), but don't worry if you missed it, I'll go over it with
you at the survey stage. We'll also start making the digital rewards
available for download as soon as they're ready - starting over the
next few days with the back issues. Many of you have asked about the
add-ons; please PM me through Kickstarter. This makes it easier for me
to keep track of everyone's special orders and changes.
One last time - thank you very much! it has been a wonderful and exciting experience. More things to come soon!
So this is it, I can finally say these words. Coming soon -
our final chapter of Carbon Grey
- where this epic saga comes to a close as we unravel the mystery
behind the rock and Gottfaust's prophecy. We promise to close all lose
ends and wrap up all unanswered questions. We're currently underway on
the first issue and will continue to update you (here, on
Facebook, our
blog and on
Twitter) with our progress. It's going to be a good one!
Best - Hoang
