Hey all - happy ~1 year anniversary of the demo and thanks to everyone who has played it, followed, wishlisted, or even looked at the game.
Since that release we acquired a publisher who was going to help fund, port, market, and localize Heartworm - so I could make it even better than I expected. I recruited a team of four really talented and passionate game devs to help me, and we worked for about 6 months.
Unfortunately, as of last week, our publisher has decided to terminate our contract due to financial issues on their end, and as it stands we need a publishing agreement to finish Heartworm. I am working on that, and in communication with some possible partners, but this was really unexpected and now we are taking a huge financial hit.
I really want to keep my team, and I need to be able to support them financially to do that, so I have decided to launch a Kickstarter soon. I am posting the presave link below, and I will post again when it's live. None of this is ideal for us but I am going to do whatever I have to to release this game. If you can and want to help it would be appreciated in ways I cannot describe, and if you can't but can spread the word that would be seriously appreciated too.
Happy to answer any questions here or via DM.
