Good news everyone. We’ve hit our first funding goal.

This means that the our wonderful fledgling community has backed and unlocked the first feature goal: Combat I. The Oort Elves are already hard at work experimenting, designing, building, dismantling, squabbling, rebuilding, tweaking, and polishing the first combat iteration. We’ll share images and videos soon. If you have any crazy and unique ideas fire them onto the forums as creative food for our hungry designers. Once something is solid enough we’ll unleash it live for everyone to try and shout about.

So what is next?

As promised it’s now over to the Oort Online community to steer the ship. This is a tiny bit scary – where will we end up? We’re currently preparing the first community vote. This will be extra big because we also want to get a general feel for the major feature players find exciting. The vote will also contain the options for the next funding milestone. We plan to get this sent out to everyone tomorrow.

If you haven’t backed the project yet and want to contribute to the voting – BACK THE GAME NOW!

Wow – we genuinely weren’t expecting to hit his first goal so quickly. What a stellar bunch you all are!

Someone go put the kettle on – it’s time to celebrate.
