We're asking for help boosting the signal on this one because it's very important to us that we reach all of the original Kickstarter backers and make sure that they're able to get the stretch goals they've been owed for far too long. If you ARE an original backer of Technoir, please be aware that there is a very important update at the original Kickstarter campaign that will detail what you need to do to have our original stretch goals fulfilled by Dream Machine Productions. If you have any questions about that process or the game in general, we're more than happy to chat about it.
