Project Update #3: Precinct by Jim Walls

Hello Precinct fans and backers,

It’s our 7th day of the Precinct Kickstarter!  We’ve had tons of momentum and activity and are planning on sharing much more news with you in the near future.

Today I wanted to share with you some of the great press coverage we’ve been receiving for Precinct.  Since we announced Precinct we’ve had coverage on over 120 gaming sites.  Here are some of the highlights:

Other news

In other news, we have some big updates coming your way.  There’s not much I can share right now except to say that we are on the edge our seats with excitement!  I will share with you as soon as we have more information.

Daily Video

Our daily video is live!  Today we talk about Police Quest I and where it was made.  Stay tuned for more fun Sierra stories over the rest of the campaign!

Communication

Finally, I wanted to take a moment to talk about the frequency of communication.  My goal had been to give lots of information without spamming you.  Every day, we’re posting on Twitter, Facebook and the comment boards, but we haven’t been sending out regular updates.  After hearing your feedback we will be sending our more regular updates to everybody.  My apologies if you’ve felt left out of the conversation.

As always, thank you so much for your help in the campaign.  There’s no way we can do it without you!

Thanks!
Robert.
