We had an amazing time at PAX Aus last weekend, thanks to everyone that said hi! Firstly though, something super important. We've only got 1 week until we order CatTube Famous for printing!

We ask you to please make sure your address is correct. We'll give you until the 11th for any final changes. This also means that once we've completed the order we will be stopping pre-orders on our website, until we organize large scale production.

Now, back to the PAX report! Liam was on a panel about tabletop game art which was excellent and we met a couple of people interested in the game!

We had two copies of CatTube Famous in the Tabletop Library. Over the 3 days we had 20 borrows, which had us ranked 39 out of 407 games checked out. The most common number of borrows was 5, so we did quite nicely for an unreleased game!

The most rented game was Codenames with 90 checkouts and there were 3,419 checkouts total. Overall we're happy with the little bit of exposure we've gotten and the people we met at the Meet the Designer events seemed to mostly enjoy it!

Thanks everyone for your support! We're super excited to have backers from all over the world!

It's been an intense month, showing off the game at our local games stores, messaging backers, responding to questions and getting CatTube Famous out to the world!

We're grateful for the support everyone has given us in person, from our friends and family, to store owners, to people who have come along to testing events!

Huge thanks to everyone that's shared it around, we couldn't have done it without you. Now that the campaign is complete we'll be getting to work on the art, drawing your cats and bringing CatTube Famous to all of you!

We'll be sending surveys out to everyone within the next week to get your details. 

You’ve definitely heard about Minneapolis’ Internet Cat Video Festival and, if you live in the area, chances are you’ve been. Now, there is a book. Coffee House Press, Walker Art Center, and some super bomb writers have come together to create Cat Is Art Spelled Wrong.

Their Kickstarter (aka Catstarter) describes it best with the line: “[This book is] not just about cat videos, but also about how we decide what is good or bad art, or art at all; about how taste develops, how that can change, and why we love or hate something. It’s about people and the internet and why there are so many more cat videos than dog ones.”

Meaning, literally everyone that has $20 should back this book—even if you don’t live in Minneapolis, even if you don’t like cat videos, and even if you are a dog person!

There’s not much time left in the Kickstarter, so get involved! Help fund the project, tweet about it, reblog this and add a hilarious GIF, tell your weird aunts about it on Facebook—whatever you want! LET’S FUND THIS!
