As of now, our Kickstarter has ended. We were able to reach $8,436, but since we didn't reach our goal, we won't be collecting any of it. We would like to thank everybody who pledged to our Kickstarter and those who shared it! Even though we did not reach our goal, we still see this campaign as a huge success. Throughout the campaign, we were able to gain over 2,000 followers on Instagram, we reached over 120 members on our Discord, we saw fanart, cosplays, and memes. So thank you everyone who has been a part of Thicker Than Blood. Our team is going to continue to work hard to bring this show to you all. If you would still like to support us in other ways, we do have a Patreon open that will go directly towards supporting our artists! Thank you for your support!! - Studio MADBAT
