Now
Our current priority would be getting the Kickstarter going and securing funding for Merge.
Priority for funding is as follows

Work Beliefs
We're forward thinking, and so is our culture.

If you hire someone that's bright and creative and stick them at a desk and take orders from above, you immediately depreciate their value
