Heyya. If you didn't get my weekly update last week, RELAX — I didn't send one 😉
Since I didn't have too many Loom updates, I decided to get myself a mud bath instead.
Most importantly...
Since information is coming at you at the speed of light and cluttering your sacred inbox — it's always healthy to give that brain of yours a quick break.
So, I skipped last week's update for both of us 🙂
Good news is that I am back in action (like Al Pacino in Heat) with a brand new edition of Loom Updates 😎
By the way, if you are SICK and TIRED of hearing about the Zombie Battleground Kickstarter, I completely understand.
That's why I haven't been including everrrrrrry single Kickstarter update in these "Loom Weekly Update" emails.
But...
If you DO want to keep up with all the Kickstarter Updates, you should pay attention to the updates section on Kickstarter... because we've posted over 20 updates so far.
Here's the deal...
A lot of updates I will cover today actually revolve around the Zombie Battleground game because the game itself is a vehicle for a lot of the technology we are building.
That's not because I am buying time with fluff because I don't have legitimate Loom updates either...
In fact...
1) A Recent Github audit rated our public repositories as the SECOND MOST ACTIVE crypto project
...and that only accounts for LESS THAN HALF of our commits since it excludes our private repositories 😉
...and if you are of the developer persuasion, we just had a significant release of the Loom SDK that added a bunch of neat features to support the Zombie Chain Testnet.
So, remember that even when the seas are calm and we aren't pushing out a lot of announcements, we are still grinding (not on each other, but on code) by shipping product 😜
👉 Take a look at the Github Audit that mentions Loom Network
Also...
2) You can now back Zombie Battleground with ETH and LOOM via Trading Post 😉 I know, I know, we've been slacking on making this possible.
But, better late than never.
Even though the Zombie Battleground Kickstarter has less than 2 weeks left... you can now back the game and join the beta using ETH and LOOM via Trading Post.
This is all because a lot of you emailed me about wanting to spend your crypto on Battleground.
Ask, and it shall be given you!
By the way, there's no "extra benefit" to backing on the Trading Post via ETH or LOOM as opposed to Kickstarter.
In fact, all the "Kickstarter exclusive" benefits are, true to our word, NOT available on the Trading Post — only on Kickstarter.
But for those of you who can't or prefer not to use Kickstarter for one reason or another, you now have an alternative option.
👉 Back Zombie Battleground with ETH or LOOM via the Trading Post
That's not all...
3) We are randomly giving out $15,000 of Zombie Battleground Goodies to 80 people via a Raffle 🎉 
A bunch of you also emailed me over the last month about WANTING to support the Kickstarter, but not having enough funds to do so.
So, we decided to set this bad boy up 😉
It's essentially an incentivized raffle / social share contest that lets you enter into the drawing multiple times without spending any money.
I also dislike having one BIG WINNER, so we decided to increase the probability of you winning stuff by giving away Battleground goodies (and assets) to about 80 different people.
Also, we are using Gleam, so the winners will be picked randomly by their platform instead of us doing anything manually.
Even if you ALREADY backed the campaign, you should join in on the fun 🙂
👉 Let me enter this raffle and win some Battleground swag 😲
Those are all the major developments in the last 2 weeks on our side.
How are things with you?
How's life?
Let me know if I could be of help — As always, just hit reply and let me know 🤓 See ya next week! Your friend, 
—Dilanka
P.S: Here's an excellent song from 1934 called Don't Let It Bother You by Fats Waller. It's excellent because it was partially written to keep people's hopes up during the Great Depression. Take a listen 😉
