An indie developer recorded his reaction to reaching his Kickstarter goal live on stream, and if it doesn't warm your heart, nothing will.

Marcus Clarke, founder of PixelManta and sole developer on Overmorrow, was livestreaming when an influx of Kickstarter support pushed him to tears. Emotions are visibly piling up as Clarke's Kickstarter nears its goal, and the developer becomes overwhelmed when the goal is reached and exceeded. 

"It was really an intense feeling," Clarke told GamesRadar. "I didn't expect such a huge push at that time, so it was a shock to the system watching it tick up so quickly on stream!"

"The community is filled with special and incredible people, and I know some backers upped their pledges at that time, alongside the burst of new backers," Clarke says. "It's a feeling of - wow, there are people who really believe in me and the game and want me to succeed, and that's a feeling that's worth more than anything else. I'll forever be grateful to each and every one of them."

Overmorrow is Clarke's debut project as an indie developer, having previously worked as a senior game designer at Sumo Digital. Clarke's body of work includes credits on Sackboy: A Big Adventure, a pair of mobile Warhammer games, and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. Complete creative freedom over his own game is something Clark says he's always dreamed of.

"Having total control over a project grants you a lot more freedom to do something experimental, to go against the grain and bring something personal to the video game space that players would never be able to experience otherwise," he says. "Being able to release Overmorrow to the world as something I made will bring an amount of pride that I couldn't possibly get from
