We've got some exciting news to share!

Our Kickstarter Campaign has been extended and will now end on Sat, April 22 2023 at 8:00 AM PDT

We're hoping we can use this extra time to try and reach out final stretch goal: a Nintendo Switch port of TOUCHSTARVED!

But that's not all! This weekend during our stream, we revealed the first of two Kickstarter exclusive rewards: a postcard of our very first test illustration featuring Ais.

All backers with physical rewards are eligible to receive it. We want to thank you all for being here with us from the beginning!

We hope you're all as excited as we are to see how many Leanders we can fit in our pockets. But that's not all! 

Tomorrow, we'll be hosting our first stream! Join us April 16th at 2PM PDT for a Q&A session, behind the scenes look at TOUCHSTARVED's art, and a special sneak peek at one of our Kickstarter exclusive rewards here: https://www.twitch.tv/redspringstudio

It's so hard to believe that our first week's already over. The whole team is still surprised and overjoyed by the outpouring of support. Thank you all so much. It's thanks to you that we've got some exciting announcements!! 

New Stretch Goals! Next Goal: 315k Spicy Sprites & Extra Poses, 340k Merch for Elyon & Sen

We unlocked the initial Stretch Goals so quickly, that we added 2 brand new ones!

But in another twist no one saw coming, we already managed to unlock the spicy sprites this morning! 

315K Stretch Goal Unlocked - Spicy Sprites & Extra Poses

That leaves us with the DLC Character Merch Goal. If we meet this goal, we'll be able to design and produce enamel pins for Sen and Elyon that'll available in the backer survey.
