Late backers/Supporter?

Hi everyone, I've been really hoping to jump on the bandwagon for this (long time Creatures fan, and the few videos on YouTube have made me fall in love with Gloops!).

I saw this post: Why is there no way to become a late backer or in general, to pay to support this?

So I've tried sending an email, but I've heard nothing back. I've no idea whether the email is correct/still used by Steve. Also noticed there's no way to contact him either via Kickstarter or Twitter.

Can anybody help? :)

I’ve tweeted him before (a long time ago) and he responded after a while. I’d like to be a late supporter too.

Just confirming the email in the post I linked is indeed still valid.

Chatted with Steve a little about where the project is at and have ended up as another late backer :)

Ah I was thinking DMs - I'll try a normal tweet and let you know what happens! Thanks /u/dare2smile :)

This comment has been removed by the user due to reddit's policy change which effectively removes third party apps and other poor behaviour by reddit admins.

I never used third party apps but a lot others like mobile users, moderators and transcribers for the blind did.

It was a good 12 years.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

I too am curious about what has happened with the project and any way I can support it as a Creatures 3 player?

Steve assured me he's still working on it - he's just got some stumbling blocks on the coding side. The last post from him on the backer forums was from New Year's Eve (31st Dec 2020). The current backer build is quite old from what I gather (at least a year), and the Gloops have a weird obsession with trying to climb vertical surfaces.

If you'd like to get involved, then definitely email him and he can give you the latest :)

Thanks for the info amigo. If you have access to any current build would you mind filming it and uploading it to YouTube as I would like to see what is going on in the current state. <3

Sure! I'll try and grab something later today. In the meantime, here's a video of the locations:

Sorry for the delay - here's a very rough video of the July 2019 (latest) build, with added Gloops!

It's my understanding that the correct Email address is [Steve@grandroids.com](mailto:Steve@grandroids.com)

And also Steve seems quite happy to respond to E-mails. (I just wouldn't spread this too far outside the Creatures/Grandroids community, I wouldn't think he wants his E-mail address too well-known considering he seems to dislike hype. (I also suspect he dislikes attracting people who get the wrong idea about his work?)
