Unique dev tool raises another $50k in four days; 66 hours left to raise remaining $32k
A Kickstarter campaign for an innovative game development tool has burst into life with about $50,000 made in just four days – but another $32,000 must come in less than 66 hours for targets to be met.
Code Hero is a fully interactive game that uses the Unity engine to teach people to build their own creations. The first levels in the game will teach users the basics, while the final ‘level’ in the game is to publish your own work.
Last Thursday, the tool’s Kickstarter program was dwindling at $19,000 with seven days left to reach $100,000.
If the target is missed, all funding will be returned to its backers.

Yet press coverage and promotion by industry execs, such as Unity CEO David Helgason, sparked the project into life.
Developed by Alex Peake, Code Hero is currently in beta. Kickstarter funds will be used to finalise the project.

Thank you Developer for the great "Nudge" ...
CodeHero just broke $70,000 barrier minutes ago and is accelerating in Kickstarter on its way to $100K.
This is not just a kewl game; nor just a kewl meta-game that teaches code-writing... it is the (learning) future now.
A human-singularity is forming. Watch it happen or hop on and enjoy the creative and positively constructive (and lasting) chaos.

Wow,
Reddit pushed it almost to 80k!
Code Hero promises to unleash a rich and engaging activity that will be a magnet for students who will develop their skill as artists and coders to prepare for work and college.
