This morning marks the end of our Kickstarter campaign, and our send off is bittersweet. First and foremost, thank you for your generous support of Martha Madison’s Marvelous Machines!

Despite not reaching our Kickstarter goal, we’re pleased to announce that Second Avenue will continue to work on the game thanks to a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the National Science Foundation. This grant will help fund development of the game, building off our prototype built in 2011. Second Avenue will also continue to work in collaboration with the School of Interactive Games and Media at Rochester Institute of Technology. As a bonus, we’ve generated such a wonderful response through conversations that many of us have had. Whether we interacted with you via a personal email, in a tweet or here as a comment, we sincerely appreciate your interest in Martha.

Those conversations don’t have to end. Follow us to stay up to date on everything we plan on doing with Martha and future serious games on our website, twitter, linkedin and facebook. We promise to keep you posted!

Thank you again, and we’ll see you on our social channels.
