The Business of Loving Kickstarter is now live!
Over the years, this game has been off and on production due to having to work other jobs, and set aside times for smaller projects (commissions and comics, mainly) to try and keep the income flowing, as big pauses tend to lull support. I want to stop that cycle, and have one big influx of monetary support to sit down and finish this thing. I've had routes, ideas, plans in my head for years that I was afraid I'd never get to. There were a few times I was willing to give up. But it's not happening, and I'm never going to stop until this thing is done.
Okay, awesom- 17k???
The goal price is $17,000. Is that steep? Yes. Is it required? Most likely.
I'm looking to make this thing with help, and a lot of it. I'm talking background artists, coders, and guest artists. Not to mention the hired talent of voice actresses. Along with that are my own living expenses for the 2 years that I plan on cranking the game out. That being said, I'm overestimating, probably by a lot. But, I've seen a lot of past Kickstarters fail because of underestimating time and money. I'm overestimating my deadline and goal because of this. I'd much rather under promise and over deliver. Along with that... This game is going to take a while to work on, and a lot of effort. There are still about 23 major updates planned, that will have at least 30 scenes each. The math there is about... Around 700 images drawn, and that's a light estimate. (That number just scared me writing it out.)
There's going to be a lot of goodies here, and a couple of stretch goals. which I am quite excited for. If all goes well, this game is on fast track to completion. (Fast being... relative.)
Here are some reward details, and my favorite stretchgoals that may add new characters. Art is a work in progress, so I may clean their designs up in the future if they get added.
