IMPORTANT:

Background

Littlecosm is a browser-based online game powered by your emotions.  It plugs into twitter and creates a world (with 8-bit style graphics!) based on your current sentiment - good or bad.  "Good" people in your twitter stream appear as good characters in the game.  And vice versa.

Below: the Map screen and crashed ship

A ship carrying a great treasure has crashed on a planet far away. 

The treasure: every object, thought and memory that mankind ever created during its short history. 

The little inhabitants of the planet curiously collect things from the crashed ship and try to learn as much as they can about this place called "earth" and what has happened to it.

Littlecosm is a game about collecting memories.

Funds raised will go towards content creation in this final stretch of development - giving more depth to the writing, artwork for game items and licensing of music.  All of this will help to create a much more memorable game for you to play.

Join me for a nostalgic journey in January 2011.

Please help to spread the word about Littlecosm and my little fundraiser.  I'd love it if you linked people to this page or blogged about the game (or both!), and I'll see you all in the game when it launches in January :)

p.s. if you need more, there's a slightly longer explanation of Littlecosm over at my blog:
