First step...
Normally I refrain from sharing personal things like this, but I feel that this particular part of my life has long became a collective endeavor...
But don't open the champagne yet, there is still a long road ahead of me. Getting the visa will be a pain, and so many things could go wrong...
But first step has been made...
Almost ten years ago I would browse through the VanArts website without any hopes of actually ever getting anywhere near that school... And now I get the acceptance letter, from the freaking VanArts 0_0
Seriously, it's a good thing I am typing this in instead of recording a video because I think I could actually tear up a little... I'm serious...
I'm making this a "patrons only" post, because you guys are the only ones I want to share my feelings with about this whole thing...
Yes... Thank you... Wow...... really... Freaking VanArts, man... You guys are unbelievable for doing this...

Thank you :)
Congratulations! I've been looking forward to this post. Those guys will hone your already vast talent to superweapon levels. I'm in the general area and I'm sure some of your other fans are as well so maybe we can get together and hoist some beers sometime. (Also, we'll taste test yours first in case enemy agents get to the bartender.)
That's the main idea. More power for me means more entertainment for all of us!
oh wow ... well ... time to freak out and be happy about it ... CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)
Go ahead, by all means. I plan to freak out and completely lose it the moment I cross the threshold of the VanArts main building and not the moment earlier^^
You totaly deserve it, congratulations, and good luck with the next steps, I, and I think the other too, will be right behind you, supporting you in your VanArts adventure :)
Thank you, Dorgao. T_T
Congratulations! Y'know, I decided to throw in my support after playing through your first games. Now that I've played (an unhealthy amount of) PTGE, I'm really impressed with the sheer amount of work that was added to the original. Glad to hear it's all paying off!
He-he. Thank you. ^_^
That's totally awesome man! It's times like this when the Internet really comes together to genuinely make a difference in someone's life that make me feel really happy :D Best of luck!
Thank you. ^^
Good for you man, you definitely deserve it. Now get back to Work ! ^^
