To reserve development budget toward production version of TV Friends, a project page was posted to INDIEGOGO, a crowd funding service site.  The site is here.

Crowd Funding Service is a service in which an indivisual or small company can call for small fund from other indivisuals.  Kickstarter is a famous service as you might know.  This time TV Friends decided to use the service to reserve a budget for adding more features, adding supporting countries/regions, and promotion fees toward production version.  If you could support us, we are very appreciated, and you will get some rewards from us.

Thank you for your consideration.

TV Friends now have chat rooms for “ALL” World Cup’s matches!
