Hi. TAG ...

The push for Candy Popper!! worked. I did raise a little more money from GoFundMe, but even better the post mentioned our manufacturer and they got contacted by an industry group about the project (because it, and RetroActiv Games were unknown entities to them). Once contacted, our manufacturing partner got all in a tizzy and wanted the GoFundMe page taken down (which I did). Simultaneously, however, they jump started the process with us and have ordered a second set of hardware from Ingram Micro so they have a system to use in building the cabinet and housing the peripherals, etc. RetroActiv is getting a hardware of our own so Dave Dentt can test the game on a native system.

So, thanks for your well wishes. It seems we may be off and running on Candy Popper!! ...

Awesome Tom. Because you stayed in motion and kept pitching, something good is happening. Way to go.

As will it for you, too, Ellis. Congrats on your H.D. position (what section are you in?). Keep up your art in the interim ... you're too good to not be employed in somewhere in comics or another medium ...

That is great to hear, Tom! I have had the Candy Popper Donate page up in my browser the last couple days (procrastinating about deciding how BIG my donation would be)--and voilá! Great news. Ways to stay persistent.
