Apollo: A Co-Op Game 🌝 Now on Kickstarter!

Despite around 2k followers across all platforms, 140 followed us on kickstarter, and 75 have backed so far. I can't make it clearer that the quantity of followers doesn't matter nearly as much as their actual interest - I'm looking at you, indie dev twitter 👀

by far the most funding is coming from direct referral; that's word of mouth, direct link sharing from one person to another. Honestly I'm surprised how little came out of being on Projects We Love discovery, it's - negligible -...

Here's some transparency for our indie friends looking at crowdfunding - Thread 🧵

quite pretty. quite lovely. find us on steam discovery. quite cute. quite hot. put us on your wishlist, thot

Ok don’t tell anybody, but on our backend we can see every name people have put for their spacecraft 👀 And omg

Apollo: A Co-Op Game is now a Project We Love on Kickstarter. 💚 Nominated for Best Student Game by @G4C and featured by @IndieCade 🌚🌒🌓🌔🌝 One Astronaut. Up to four mission commanders. Relive the historic and disastrous highlights of the Apollo space program.

AAAAAAA!

The fine antennae detach for safe shipping and handling, and the whole thing sits on a base inscribed with the Buzz Aldrin quote "The Sky Is Not the Limit."

This thing... is beautiful. It's a mechanically exaggerated design commissioned by us from Grati Petru, AKA EinMeister.

Backers for our campaign can receive an artist-made 3D statue of the Apollo Command and service modules. More in the 🧵

The astronaut's safety was paramount for Apollo, which is almost surprising given how fast and dirty so much of its preparation was. Anyway, here's a picture of astronauts in a pool. Have a nice day

And all of this is kind of child's play compared to the cosmonauts' double-barreled shotgun pistol with a machete as a stock, but that's neither here nor there...

and also desert survival training, with um... snake handling?

So to answer the obvious - "was it for the moon?" It truly saddens me to say no, the kit stayed on the command module orbiting the moon. It was meant to help astronauts in the extreme contingency that they land in somewhere on earth that requires the jungle training shown below:

It had all the things you'd expect: - drinking water - a radio - sunscreen - sunglasses - a 17 inch machete

Let's take a look at some weird Apollo equipment: starting with,,, the Astronaut Survival Kit...

At ignition, Saturn V rockets produced over 7 million pounds of thrust at liftoff. That's the energy today 🚀
