[b]The VAs have been decided![/b] After a month of auditions and lots of great takes, my team and I have decided on who will be voicing each character if the kickstarter is successful! It's really exciting to have something like this on the table, so without further delay, here is our talent! As Oliver, we have cast Charles Nguyễn!

We have decided that voice acting will be the main focus of the upcoming kickstarter, as we feel its inclusion will really help give the scenes it's in a bit more punch. Which brings me to my next announcement... [b]Escape Velocity's kickstarter begins September 15th!!![/b] That's right! In two months, we are launching our kickstarter campaign. We still need a bit more time to spread the word and finalize some aspects of the page, but now that the voice auditions are done and the cast has been selected, I feel confident in setting this date in stone. Here's a few things you can expect from the reward tiers: *Dakimakuras of any character pairing you desire *Physical copies of Oliver's journal, Judith's cookbook, and much more *Beta access that lets you play the game long before anybody else *Oliver's T-shirt in the size of your choosing +AND LOADS MORE!!!
