48 hour emails will be going out in a few hours and it will start appearing on "Ending Soon" recommendations so there should be some organic growth to the campaign and generally the last 48 hours see an increase in interest. It helps that you're not too far from your goal. Either way, looks like it will be a pretty intense last 48. Go take some heart medicine and make that final push! Don't lose heart yet, you're well positioned.

That's a good point - I've seen many projects in Kicktraq that seemed quite dead in the water suddenly have spikes in the final 2 days.  Since KS told me to bugger off when I asked if we could get a feature - I'm hoping we'll at least get a spike then too.

Thanks Qwurp for your ongoing encouragement and support - this has helped me much more than you can imagine in this crazy rollercoaster Kickstarter ride! 

It's true, I won't let the poor backer uptake bother me too much any more, I think the KS has opened many doors and I've had the opportunity to do cool things and get to know some great people in the indie scene like you guys Smiley

Oh woops, sorry I misread  Smiley  Yeah that's true actually re: not having enough momentum - my KS mentor really pushed me to have a substantial Day 1 backing.  Her advice was 10% for Day 1 and then 30% for Day 3 as minimums.  I didn't have much in the way of fans so spammed my friends and family Smiley
