Meco has been self-funded until now and is pending an Early Access launch on Steam. It took three years of intense work to get to this stage, where I am confident that the product works well.

Along the way, I lost sight in both eyes due to a rare genetic condition and had a heart attack which was odd because I am not obese and am only 45. Thankfully after a bunch of surgical interventions, my sight is mainly restored, and the doctors say that my ticker should serve me for another decade or more.

I aim to serve the most people in the shortest time, and I want to focus on my health simultaneously. Funds raised with Kickstarter will be employed to delegate administrative, marketing, game design, community engagement, project management, and game documentation, including making videos and tutorials for the community.
