We’re in the TOP 1% 🎉 Kickstarter has just n We’re in the TOP 1% 🎉

Kickstarter has just named us a “Project We Love”. They’re taking notice.

Of the 13,000+ children’s publishing projects on Kickstarter, Green Ember: Helmer in the Dragon Tomb is currently sitting at #9 of all time...halfway through.

Not only that, of the live projects in children’s publishing it’s currently the:
#1 Most Funded
#1 Most Backed
#1 Most Popular (we overtook Chupacabra and Krampus plushie pals 👀)
Outperforming 99.9% of projects

You did that.

Families are happily supporting this cause, not million-dollar studios or corporate backers.

We want better media for our kids. And we’re putting our money where our heart is.

BUT WE'RE NOT DONE YET

Most games today are built like slot machines—designed to seem cheap up front, then pull players in with addictive loops and endless in-game purchases. We’ve chosen a different path, one that doesn’t exploit kids or families. But that choice makes our journey more difficult.

I’m truly thankful for the amazing support we’ve already seen. It means the world to me. I want to see this beautiful, rare adventure reach even more kids. I believe it can—but we need your help to get there.

If you haven’t backed yet, would you consider doing it today? And if the game’s not right for your home, gift it to a family who would use it?

Your support makes this possible. Let's keep going. Let's show the world that families still care about hopeful, hospitable storytelling without hidden agendas.
 
Our kids deserve better media.
 
Let's give it to them.

I'm on your side,

Sam
It's a game based off the book. Story first, alway It's a game based off the book. Story first, always.

Some franchises drift without the author’s involvement—like this Anne of Green Gables game. Fortunately, our video game and book were written by the same author, so you can trust the heart behind the project. 💚🐰⚔️

Kudos to Zach Franzen for creating this hilarious video.
Helmer comes to life. Helmer comes to life.
