Humble Store pre-orders will continue to work towards our Stretch Goals for the next year, so don’t worry if we didn’t hit your favorite. We should hopefully reach Arena mode soon, and then start working towards Crafting. We’ll keep you up to date as Goals are reached.

We just moved up to #8 on Greenlight, so hopefully we’ll be getting approved in the next month or so. Please keep the votes coming in to help secure our position!

We’ll have some more info coming soon on our next steps, but it’s time to take a quick breather and regroup before we jump into Pre-Production. Thank you so much once again for helping make Chasm a reality!

As of yesterday funding for Chasm has reached 100%. We’ve also reached our first stretch goal which will go towards additional music in the game. Keep in mind that just because a stretch goal isn’t reached doesn’t mean it won’t happen, it just isn’t guaranteed. Keep spreading the word about the Kickstarter so we can reach all of our stretch goals. Thanks to your support we’re ranked #10 in the top 100 of Steam Greenlight.

We recently passed the 60% threshold of the Chasm Kickstarter, and are nearing $100,000. In response to the feedback we’ve been getting we started on a demo update which will address many issues, update graphics, extend gameplay, and add in quite a bit of re-playability through hardcore mode and time trials. When the new demo launches be sure to share it with your friends, and link them to our Greenlight page as we are currently #17.
