Devo Spice Update - 1/2/2012

[devospice]

Hey everyone,

I hope everyone had an awesome holiday season. I for one am really
looking forward to 2012. There are some cool things coming.
Anyway...

--== KICKSTARTER UPDATE: $1370, 6 DAYS TO GO ==--
--== ELEVATOR MAKES THE FUNNY 25 ==--
--== NEW FREE SONGS AT DEVOSPICE.COM ==--
--== MANIC MONDAYS YEAR END COUNTDOWN ==--

--== KICKSTARTER UPDATE: $1370, 6 DAYS TO GO ==--
I need to give you a big thank you to everyone who has pledged so far
to my new iPhone game “Rollers” and and a special thank you to those
who have blogged about it or in some other way helped me spread the
word.

If you missed it, I’m planning to develop an iPhone game (and later
port it to Android) that plays like a combination of Pac-Man and Super
Mario Bros. In this game you will guide an alien creature who can
roll himself up into a ball through a series of underground caverns to
destroy all the crystals that are growing there poisoning the
atmosphere. Destroy the crystals, collect bonus items, and rescue
creatures before the air in your environment suit runs out.

I will be hiring a team of talented developers to program the game
while I act as art director and game designer. And in order to pay
them I need to raise money. I have raised $1370 so far, which is
great, but I need to raise $5000 in order to make it happen, and I
only have 6 days left. It’s all or nothing, so if I don’t make my
goal your credit card won’t get charged and I don’t get any money.

If you pledge besides helping make the game exist you can get special
rewards like game levels, a CD, a T-shirt, or replicas of in game
objects such as coins, or even a plushie of the lead game character.
There’s no minimum pledge. There’s also no maximum pledge, so feel
free to send me large chunks of all that Christmas money you’re
sitting on.

--== ELEVATOR MAKES THE FUNNY 25 ==--
I am thrilled to report that the Cirque du So What track "Elevator"
from our recently released album Stupid Cowboy Thing Volume 1:
GRANDMOTHER (available here: http://www.thefump.com/store_release.php?id=88)
made Dr. Demento's year end Funny 25 countdown of the most requested
songs of the year. It snuck onto the countdown at #22.

This was another good year for The FuMP on Dr. Demento, as according
to Luke Ski's Annual Overanalysis of The Funny 25 (http://
lukeski.livejournal.com/707419.html) there were 10 FuMP tracks on the
countdown, including the #1 and #2 songs.

I should also mention that before the countdown began on the countdown
show Dr. Demento played my new song "I Am The Doctor." Thanks, Doc!
Here's looking forward to more success in 2012!


--== NEW FREE SONGS AT DEVOSPICE.COM ==--
And speaking of “I Am The Doctor” that song is now one of the free
songs you can download over at http://www.devospice.com. That along
with “My Atari” will be available as a free download for the month of
January.

Check back each month for two new free songs to download.

--== MANIC MONDAYS YEAR END COUNTDOWN ==--
The first episode of Manic Mondays for 2012 is now available and in
this episode we count down the dumbest people featured on News Of The
Stupid. This countdown takes into account shows from 2009 as well
since the 2009 shows and the 2011 shows together make up just about a
full year of shows.

You can download the episode from this page: http://www.devospice.com/manicmondays.php

The show is also available on iTunes, but note that the old one is
still in the Podcasts directory as well. I have contacted Apple about
removing it but they haven’t replied. If the last episode you see is
from 2009 that’s the wrong one. Or to subscribe directly you can use
this RSS feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/manicmondays

That’s it for now. Please help me spread the word about the
Kickstarter campaign and help get me funded.

Thanks all!
