Right after we released the Heartbeat pre-alphawe literally ran out of money. I remember going to the ATM and seeing £200 to my name. Although we don’t have any debts, we also didn’t have any cashflow. As short term fix, we sold our share of another small family property in Turkey. (Again, my family isn’t rich, these are all the things we have in the world.) That sale brought in a little under £40,000, and this is all we have to live on until we reach sustainability. (We also receive a couple of hundred pounds every month in recurring donations from individual patrons, for which we are hugely grateful, as it pays our hosting bills.)

85 is a very interesting number. It might be the greatest indicator we have yet of the existential threat faced by our species in the Antropocene.
