Hah, and there I thought I will lazily keep working within reguler alphas only, I'll guess I'll have to bite the bullet and try dailys. Doing currently third commercial project on this and it's just blast like each time.
Hope you'll be able to grow soon, I remember how faster Octane started developing once he hired people to help out, even starting simply with community manager.
The fundraise through some specific pre-order is good idea, just don't grow bitter when only handful percentage of users buy, but it could be atleast some additional funds for you.
I would wish you luck, but I am already decently addicted on this, so my faith is it will be all great !
