02:11I started building Code Answer because a lot of us think that for a young person to get started programming,
02:16tools and toys just don't go far enough.
02:19I believe that programming is a form of literacy that everybody should be exposed to, but computer science is one
02:25of the few areas of scholarship where diversity is actually decreasing.
02:30Code Answer is designed to be as inclusive as possible.
02:32By taking the principles of technology out of the cultural context of technology and into a fantasy world, we can
02:39make more people feel more welcome, which means that future technologies will be for everyone.
02:46The game also has an emotional story, which really motivates you to become a Codemancer.
02:51The story is inspired by great books like Harry Potter, Mistborn, and The NeverEnding Story.
02:56With the narrative game, we can bring more people into the technology family at an early age and increase the
03:02quality and pace of human progress.
03:06I've been working on the game for nine months now, and it's really coming together, but I need your help
03:11to get it out the door.
03:12Things like art assets, music, sound effects, voice acting, and festival attendance really add up.
03:18So that's why I'm here asking for your help.
03:21Please, become a backer and tell your friends.
03:24Together, we can make programming more approachable and more fun.
