Just want to say good luck.
I love your Color Swarm project by the way. Looks like a really funny idea :-)
If I have to answer 1 of your question : yes you should organize a pre-sale of your book. A crowdfunding project could be good to offer a preview of what we are paying for.
Thank you very much! I'll make sure to reach out to you soon when Color Swarm launches our alpha site. I think it's going to be pretty fun to work on these videos with individuals creating each frame. I have a call later tonight with someone who wants to do the first video.

Thanks for your feedback about the pre-sale. As yours is the only opinion so far, there is unanimous consensus!
I think I will also have a formal announcement thread at some point once there are illustrations of some of the pages. That will be more exciting than just reading the text of the story.
