Not a dream! Not an imaginary story! Not an April Fools’ prank! Last night, all the backers of THE COCKROACH STRIKES Kickstarter campaign received the last stretch goal reward. It took a year and seven months, but everyone got everything I promised, and then some.
Thanks to Kickstarter’s new way of displaying successful projects, you can see the timeline of events that led from the end of the campaign, which netted over 8 times my original goal.
