Survivor's Log, Day 29: Final countdown! Radio proves useful.

Good morning, good day, or good evening (whichever applies) to our backers and followers around the world!

Final day!

We're just now entering the final hours of our campaign, and are nearly halfway to Stretch Goal #3—Decked Out!, which will increase the deck to a full 36 cards.

Special Rewards!

If you've been considering upgrading to an art reward tier, get in while you still can! Limited special rewards remain, including only 4 more chances to be illustrated as an MZM style zombie. Remember, this opportunity is exclusive to Kickstarter and will not be made available for general sale.

And don't forget to have a look at our special backer rewards to receive an early prototype and playtest either our MZM strategy expansion or the next original release in the world of Earl.

Radio Appearance!

If you've ever wanted to know more about the world of Earl, why zombies can (and should) be funny, or what we play when not obsessively playtesting our own work, then this is the interview for you!

Frank from the NonProductive radio show puts us on the spot and asks the important questions about games, the universe, and everything in this special Non-Productive minisode.

Download the NonPro podcast now! Recorded live with MZM creator Aaron Ramsby and Team MZM's graphic artist, Sharyn Blum.

Thank you again to all of our wonderful supporters and backers! We're so glad to have you all on board, and can't wait to see what this last day has in store. 

Follow our last day updates and post-campaign progress on Twitter and Facebook.

Let's have a brilliant sprint to the finish! See you all at Earl's truck!

With love and brains,

Team MZM

Survivor's Log, Day 16: New goal achieved thanks to valuable additions to our group. Made contact with important friends.

Great news, everybody!

A heartfelt thank you from all of us to our new backers, and a warm welcome to all of our new followers on Twitter and Facebook! We are overjoyed to report that we've hit 117% funded thanks to your support, and we still have 2 full weeks of funding to go!

Team MZM continues to be amazed by the outpouring of love for the gaming silliness and zombie fun we have put so much time and heart into producing. We had to pinch* ourselves to make sure it was real! 

* We briefly considered biting ourselves instead, but we don't want to risk becoming zombies ourselves. That could really mess up our plans for the next game releases, and we just can't take that kind of chance.

So what does this all mean? So glad you asked...

First stretch goal achieved!

Having passed the $1750 mark, we're pleased to announce that not only will our artist get a well-deserved bonus, but all backers at the $15 USD (Brains for Brains) tier and above will receive a print-and-play PDF copy of MZM in addition to their physical decks.

Keep it going! We've got even more great things in store. The next unlocked goal isn't that far off. Hit it to expand the deck with a special wildcard featuring our hero, Earl!

Meet the brains behind MZM!

How did Midnight Zombie Marathon come to be? What goes on in the mind of its creator? How does the idea of fun drive design? What does a common beverage have to do with it all?

Jeff King finds the answers to these questions and more and gets a glimpse behind the curtain at MZM headquarters in a special interview on All Us Geeks.

Shoot for the stars!

Our friends at Astrum Resurrectione are mere inches away from funding, with plenty of time leftover to reach their outstanding stretch goals!

This game looks to be out of this world, literally and figuratively, and they are running some fun social stretch goals, to boot. After you're done bringing our zombies into your life, consider getting even further than just out of town and head to a galaxy far, far away.

As always, thanks to everyone for your support not only of us but of our fellow creators. You're the best. 

Keep pushing, keep sharing, and keep backing indie games!

With love and brains,

Team MZM
