Thanks, Gavan! Katorone told me he intended contacting you after you'd celebrated and got some much needed sleep. I'm sure you will be hearing from him soon.

A thank you message from Gavan.

Thanks for posting the link, Zanteogo. It was such a nice thank you from Gavan.

I think Josh, Flat, DW and the Limit Theorists did a sterling job in helping to get Voxel Quest across the finish line. I'm proud to be a member of this Community.

I'm positive VQ will be well worth playing, Cornflakes.

It's a pity there were no boxes or physical items as rewards though.

Hmm, maybe we could eventually convince Gavan to change his mind.

Possibly not, but... I'm sure he'd do it if he thought it was truly worth the extra time.

It's only me being a collector again, Talvieno. Gavan made it clear on his KS pages that there were no physical rewards and he's got his funding now so that's fine.

He's actually considering it right now over on his forums.

If physical goods had been included in the original KS, Talvieno, I would have gone to a higher pledge level but I'm happy with what I've decided. I'm an honourable man and I keep my word. The winner will be able to sport the Emerald badge on the Voxel Quest forums which is a limited reward and will be well worth winning in the LTFC.

I'm quite happy with my 4 game keys.

Honestly though, what am I going to do with a tee-shirt that says Voxel Quest? (and chances are the name will be changed at some point, though I am sure Mojang said the same thing during the early Minecraft days.)

I'm very impressed at the rate of development so far:

Agreed!

I feel like lots of developers do that, really only to allow for the encouragement of more people to back it during the kickstarter. If it stagnates early, people will lose hope and stop backing it. Things tend to die off quickly for the majority of projects.

At first putting out updates was hard, but now that I have got into the swing of it, it is not very difficult and helps me motivate to work hard every week, and the feedback is good as well. No plans to stop the weekly updates yet (although I might miss a few). KS has been over for some time so that is no longer a motivator in that respect

No offense to Josh, but I would rather have your low production "weeky" updates rather than Josh's high production "monthly" updates.

Though it looks like Josh is tossing them, I guess we find out "soon".
