The crowdfunding campaign finished a while ago now. Only $2200 was raised, although a while after the campaign finished, I got a few late donations. In particular was an almighty $2000 from the generous Cross77. Thankyou! For this donation he will be working with me to design his own faction in the game.
So I'd like to show you all what I am currently doing with the money from the "failed" campaign.
It took quite a long time, but I eventually found a highly skilled freelance artist. As you know I'm currently working on the building/RTS features of the game, so we started off on the designs for new "furniture". Things like mines, machinery, crafting stations. A couple of samples:
The smithy can be built indoors, its used to craft weapons and armour.
Windmills will be used to generate power for just about everything.
The design phase is done for now leaving about 14 designs. The first 3 models are currently being worked on.
And we have a new male and female character model being made. Male is first, its a lot more high detail now and will have loads of different faces, hairs etc. I feel character customisation is an important part of the game, so its worth spending the time on this.
Current WIP
There will also be several different bumpmaps blended in-game, so strong characters will look more muscular, slaves will look skinny and ill, nobles will look fat etc.
The female model will be coming shortly after.
After the 2 base meshes are done we will start working on new armour, clothing, hair etc. and plenty of unique factions.
And the beauty is that someone else is doing it all for me, while I work on continuing with the building features!
Sucks that the indiegogo campaign didn't go over well, hope you can get some more funding else how
Glad to see you are still working despite that though good luck and best wishes
good luck :D
I kinda wish I could double track this.
make it quadruple :D
Good luck! And thanks to Cross77!
Good luck with everything, you are doing a great work :)
Maybe try a kickstarter event? If possible? That site has got much more attention to it. :)
Indie gogo what now? Missed it :/
Yup. Try Kickstarter, and/or wait for another big version to show off the full potential of your game.
how do I donate to help to devolopement of the game? I think this game is full of potential and would like to see it completed as soon as posible :D
YES YES YES. This is amazing. :)
i wish i had a job and everything to help, but the most i could do was buy the game
If I could program, I would offer to help you do stuff. This game looks awesome and I can't wait to see it hit beta. Maybe around then a Kickstarter would help?
I've been following the development of this game for a very long while now that you could basically say that it's been since the beginning and I can say that I'm absolutely shattered that the funding didn't go as well as hoped. Thank god for Cross77, man! Please don't be discouraged and keep on with the development of this brilliant looking game! Love the ideas/concepts and honestly I think the only thing from making everyone eyeballs-on this is the lack of multiplayer. Love you guys for making this!
P.S. say hi to the new artist, so far I'm liking his work (:
Don't give up . Maybe Kick starter will be in the UK soon , however your goal should be to get your game more exposure for now.
Looking good. Keep up the good work, I'm probably going to purchase this game in an update or two.
You could get so much money if you post this on kikctsarter...
