Kickstarter & Plan "B"

changedHi folks, Because there is obviously no way we can make the goal on kickstarter i will take down the project soon. I did not manage to mobilize and/or reach a serious amount of followers. I have (again) learned a lot - today exposure is just a matter of money, which is ok in business, but i thought and hoped it is different in indy-games, but it is not like that any more! I do not have thousands of dollars for "promoting" my campaign - otherwise i would not have needed a campaign - weird world... I still believe it is not about the quality of the game because I also play a lot and VEmpire can compete easily with a lot of games, it is even superior when it comes to strategy or balance imo and also you guys are telling me the same in your mails - thanks for the nice words! Anyway: Thank you very much for those who have supported VEmpire on kickstarter! I think i will release the game as it is now (it has a lot to offer!) and if i can earn some money i will deliver the following campaigns as DLC, let's see... cheers wulf!
