My name is David Prassel. I am the Director at Trek Industries, Inc, creators of the indie multi-platinum hit, 'ORION: Prelude'. We are extremely proud of what ORION: Prelude has become and we are now ready for the first time in over half a decade to tackle our next project, 'Guardians of Orion'

"The Prequel AND Spiritual Successor to the multi-platinum indie hit, 'ORION: Prelude'. SNES-inspired gameplay on Next Gen Tech!"

We have just launched our Kickstarter for 'Guardians of Orion'. We are back to show you what Kickstarter is all about, and that is the BACKER, the people who help back and create all of these packages. I am tired of all these gimmicky campaigns, non-rewarding tiers and we are going to change it with action.

We will have the best $1 tier in Kickstarter gaming history.

ABOUT TREK INDUSTRIES, INC

Trek Industries, Inc is a technology and software development company looking to do more and we are building games to better our world. While our core passions will remain with Interactive Software, we will be extending our resources into generating advancements and awareness into additional sectors, including: Clean Energy, Artificial Intelligence and Natural Preservation.

As we illustrated with our very first video game, 'ORION: Prelude', we are extremely involved with our community and always put them first. We will be keeping you all updated on our products, showcasing behind-the-scenes developments and involving you with events, competitions, fundraisers every step of the way.

The largest changes came in 2014. This is when I had shut down Spiral Game Studios and superseded it with Trek Industries, Inc. Trek Industries, Inc allows us to do more and to do so in additional sectors.

You can read more about the challenges, both internal and external, that we faced while getting to where we are today in this in-depth article:

So I took a look...hope you don't mind my comments.

Firstly, the graphics look great. Looks like something out of Halo, plus the Steam download function is a nice touch.

Ok on to the page itself. First thing I noticed was the tiers. It's way too complex for a backer to understand. At first, I thought I was going to get some graphics/artwork only. I think you need to reduce the number of high tiers and label exactly what a backer will get.

On the Personal/Other half section. I'm all up for knowing who is behind the project itself, their work background, projects they've worked on and how successful they were. But yours seems too personal, with kids photos, wife's photos and friend.

The business side of me also wonders as you're the boss, would there be a time you'd fire these individuals in order to progress the company (not that it would happen), mixing family and friends never seems to work for business ;/

Good luck with the campaign.

Thanks so much for taking the time to check out our page. I really appreciate your feedback and took it to heart. We are currently uploading a new, shorter video (extended still available for those who want it) and it is 9min 39sec.

Thanks and good you saw my feedback. My issue wasn't with the video though, I never saw it (it's blocked in my country).

Wow I didn't know they blocked it in countries. Is that possible to get around? Where are you from?

I assumed it was related to the video as the video and body share the same overall tone/script/idea. I took out those elements of the video and am currently in the process of updating the page.

I'm in Asia, it might be my browser (IE9) so might be from KS directly. I was able to vids a couple of weeks ago. I know some people on our team can see them, but they're in different countries.
