Hello backers and followers,

Port-O-Battle is NOW LIVE! And It didn't immediately end from my total technical incompetence this time. 

I set it to automatically launch at 7AM this morning. By the time I arrived at work at 8AM, IT WAS ALREADY FUNDED! Wow!

Someone reached out to me on Reddit to report that they did not receive the email that the project was now live , which is why I am posting this update. 

The next question is: Can we hit our first achievement of 50 backers on the first day? Time will tell! 

Thanks for backing - you'll hear from me soon! 

Hello backers and followers ,

The project launched on Tuesday and by Wednesday it had reached its first milestone of 50 backers. Awesome!

That means I'll be adding significant features to the existing and upcoming Combat Zones. For the "Ex Cathedra" zone, I'll be adding statuary, flying buttresses, and a magnificent fountain - all of which is collapsible and foldable.

For the "Ex Machina" combat zone I'll be adding shipping crates, ramps, and even a great big crane- also collapsible. "Ex Cathedra" is nearly finished now, but the extra accessorries will be added adter the campaign is finished and before delivery.

It's been exciting! The next milestone is a monetary one: at $3000 I'll unlock a whole new pledge level with 24 teams.

If you haven't backed yet, I hope you're thinking about backing soon!

Hello followers!

It has been an emotional roller-coaster of a day. Earlier today, I made a mistake that ended the campaign before it started. Then due to a system issue, the campaign quietly launched itself without informing anyone that it had done so! 

I got in contact with Backerkit and we were able to un-launch the project. All current backers are PRESERVED, you do not need to back again if you have already done so. 

The project will launch again Tuesday June 24th at 7AM Pacific Time. It will last for 30 days, not 14. 

I would like to extend wholehearted thanks to Backerkit for their understanding and their speedy solution to the problem despite my totally unhelpful panic and dismay. 

Don't worry, it'll be fine! It will just start again on Tuesday. 

See you Tuesday! 

Hello all,

It appears the project has quietly launched by itself with 14 days remaining. You can back it now if you wish.

However, I am not sure what will happen at this point. I have emailed Backerkit about this, but as of 2:45 PM Pacific time, I have not heard anything about it. My preference is that the project can be ended so I can launch it again next week, but if that is not possible, it's up for now.

Go and take a look! And apologies for the inconvenience. It's up to you whether you want to back it now, or wait to hear from me about a theoretical re-launch.

Have a great weekend! 

Hello followers,

I made a mistake in the backend of the Port-O-Battle project. I set the end date to before the start date. This was because the original launch date was May and the end date was in June. When I pushed the project by a month, I failed to also set the end date to July.

I have emailed Backerkit about this and hope to have a resolution soon. Stay tuned!
