TIME TO VOTE PEOPLE!



Jordan started a company with 2 of his friends and they need all the help they can get. PLEASE take the 2 seconds to vote for Rainblade. Here is a little bit about it...


Hey Everyone,

There is an opportunity for Rainblade Studios, the company that Clark Varner, Michael Robertson, and I started after graduating, but we need your help. We were invited to enter the Salt Valley Tally, an online competition for businesses developing something new in the digital media industry. The top five businesses get $5,000 to go towards development of their idea. To get into the top five, the business must have the most votes.

So our campaign, "Space", needs your vote. It takes about two seconds to enter your email address, and then verify through a link that they send you. A very stream-lined process, which could help us get the funding we need to truly explode into the marketplace. Our campaign page explains in detail what we are trying to do, but in short, we are developing an experience. Starting with the mobile platform (iPhone and iPad first), we are going to develop a series of games that can be played as a stand-alone experience, but also build off each other to develop a lasting universe. A very ambitious project, but one that we are in the midst of developing. Starting with a single game, soon to be released. But we need your help. The $5,000 that this competition could get us will be put towards a Maya license, as well as Unity Pro, and Unity iOS Pro. These software licenses are necessary to our fast paced development goal. We are getting by right now doing 2D games, but we want to bring 3D models and environments into our follow-up projects, as well as a faster production rate.

Thank you for your time. Every vote helps, and please forward this along to your friends, post on twitter, Facebook, or anywhere else. This competition is all about getting our name out there. Our company has big ideas, big dreams, and the expertise and drive to execute them, but this money will put us that much closer to achieving our goals.

So please, when you have a moment, visit our page and vote: http://www.saltvalleytally.com/campaign/detail/253
