Nice, they've hit the base funding goal. Two weeks to hit stretch goals, with the first being having Mortis Ghost (who made OFF) design a region.

i'll be uncharacteristically direct this time and say that the KS is 10k out with ONE week left and i need everyone on this game's team to make rent and have enough to eat. i can't overstate the importance of trans gamedevs continuing to create in a hostile industry. please support if you can!
