- I've been meaning to write about Project: Gorgon for a few days now. But then I remembered that Yeebo had already done so already and better than I ever could. So you should just go over there.
- For the record, I did not turn myself into a cow. So I have that going for me.

- I know these videos are linked from the Project: Gorgon Kickstarter page, but I can't help but share them here. Take a look at what they are offering.
- This first video shows off how he is building his shared dungeons and demonstrates the first quest inside.
- The second video shows where he finally got visible equipment into the game as well as showing off various systems that he's talked about on his blog.
- Of course all of this is in a pre-alpha state. The Kickstarter is intended to pay for the art and animation necessary to make it look like a modern game. So if you are at all curious, take a look at the blog, and think about kicking in.
- Also: Eric posted a link to Kick Assist today. It's a site that will pledge $500 toward the project that gets the most votes. Since a vote doesn't cost you anything (outside of time staring at a Captcha), it's easy to help out!
- EDIT: And wouldn't you know it. As soon as I get this post up, Eric posts a third video. Here you go.

- I just found out from Zubon of Kill Ten Rats that the Project: Gorgon Kickstarter is live. This is important and I'll tell you why:
- Eric Heimberg and Sandra Powers are trying to do something different with this MMO. They are not just building an MMO, they want to build a community. Their passion is running MMOs, as they did with Asheron's Call 2 and other games. But first, they need an MMO to run, so they are building as interesting a game as they can muster.
- This is a game that must happen and I want to see it done. Go read the Kickstarter page. And if you are intrigued by what you read, go read their blog, Elder Game. What I've been reading for the last several months sounds amazing.
- Now to figure out just how much I can afford to kick in.
