I'm blown away that this weird charming game idea that I've been working on in my bedroom is getting so much love!

Just four days since it launched and I'm happy and grateful to announce that Yukon Salon is funded!
[insert video of David waterskiing through flaming hoop as jet fighters skywrite "thank you backers" and fireworks explode]
[edit—skywriting not in budget and David is not athletic enough to safely attempt this stunt, just use a picture, and remove these brackets before publishing]
I'm blown away by your enthusiasm and support! Thank you x254!
Reaching the funding goal means I can start unlocking some Stretch Goals! I'll announce the first one on Monday morning. Maybe I'll talk about more than one, who knows?
Thank you all one more time! I can hardly wait until the best version of Yukon Salon is in your hands.
Alllmost there!

We're up to 87% in the first 3 days!
I'm all set up at PAX South, give me a shout if any of you are here. I'm excited to play Yukon Salon with a bunch of new people this weekend!
Off to PAX!

Just a short, sweet update, since I've been packing all night to go to PAX South tomorrow.
We're SO close everyone, 82% in the first two days!
If any of you will be at PAX South, please come by the Indie Showcase booth, check out all of the excellent games that got in, say hello, and play a game of Yukon Salon with me! Or if you have friends who'll be there, tell them to stop by! I'll be sure to post an update from the convention.
Goodnight!

Wow!
First of all, a huge thank you for the outpouring of support. 173 of you got Yukon Salon 68% funded on its first day! Hot damn. Virtual hugs and hi-fives all around.
It’s simultaneously humbling and gratifying to see something you’ve worked so hard on in relative obscurity for a couple of years be this well-received. Is there a German word for that feeling? There’s probably a German word for that.
It’s a strange, fraught time to be alive in America folks. Despite that, I hope my weird Gilliam-esque idea for a game interjects some fun and humor to your lives. To a whole lot of lives, really.
We’re pretty close to funding, and once we get there I’ll start talking about stretch goals. I can’t wait to share some of these with you. Yukon Salon is already a fun game with some great artwork, and we can make it a super-deluxe fun game with some great artwork. But one freaky bear hairstyle at a time, as they say in the Yukon. They say some odd stuff up there.
If you haven't already, please share this project on the social media outlets of your choice. Every bit of signal boost really does help, whether you’ve got 12 Facebook friends or 3.08 million Twitter followers or…whatever happens on Instagram. Filters? Filters. Sure.
Thank you all again, talk to you soon!
