Hey everyone. I hope this doesn't count as spam, but I'm needing as many eyes on this as possible, and this is probably the best community to show it to.
At the end of January I attended the Scottish Game Jam - 48 hours to make a game, something like 30 teams. I joined a team as the sole programmer but had some really good artists and designers and audio people, and we made a game -
Shplem.
The jam had 3 kinds of awards - best art, best tech and best design. We won best art and got a nomination for best tech, and were the only team to get more than one. This was by professional judges. After that we won IGDA Scotland's Top 4 Play Party games by popular vote. After that, we got nomination for 'Best New Talent' at the Scottish BAFTAs!
So, with all that praise, we figured it would be possible to make this a proper game. But we need funding, there's 7 in the team and we live in 6 different places all over the country - we need office space and some equipment. Altogether we're trying to raise $8000 (roughly £5000).
As with all "team requests", I understand that I need to show what progress is already there, so here's some links.

At the time of this posting, which is less than two days after starting the IndieGoGo campaign, we've already raised $200. Please help out and get some goodies in return! A copy of the game (even if you donate $1), T-Shirts, HD wallpapers, soundtrack, etc.
Thanks to anyone who's wishing to help out and keep an eye out for the full release of the game.
