I’ll be damned, they managed to pull it off. TAKEDOWN, Christian Allen’s tactical shooter hit its $200K mark and will be funded. This is a real accomplishment as yesterday, the game needed around $40K USD to hit its goal. We are pretty sure that Total Biscuit’s video and Notch’s tweets were a big push, but to be honest, we didn’t expect to see it getting funded.
