Connected as Amario Andre' (216 friends)
I have been a graphic designer, and into visual media ever since I could ever remember. It's something I love doing. Even at my age, hearing "Professional" graphic artist saying my work is 'great' or 'good' makes it all the better. I'm really glad the way me and my friend handled this project Abandoned, it started out pretty small and I think it can be great.
Actually quite a few people have donated, i'll see what I can do.
You guys should tweet to game sites like destructoid (jimsterling) or @taralongest @maxscoville to try and get some press for the game. 14 days is a very short amount of time. I have linked to it 5+ times and the pledges haven't gone up once.
Maybe show some new content or just press the game a little bit. I really want this to happen!
Loving the music in this, the new trailers looks intriguing without showing anything at all!
Cool! I noticed you tossed a quote from me on the front page, very cool. I wrote this up if you want to grab a quote from there. I would use the following...
http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/nabokovfan87/support-this-kickstarter-survival-horror-fps-221453.phtml
"This doesn't appear to be another indie game, it looks to be a game with deep emotion, story, and most importantly heart. "
You can get the Soundtrack for the $65 dollar level in the Limited Offers, the prologue is not even mentioned until around $100 along with Golden Guns + Health Upgrade.
I'll throw up a blog post on Dtoid Cblogs to try and get it going on there as well...
Ok, I'm confused. There is a limited soundtrack, don't know if I get that w/ the prequel or if I have to bump up to the higher one?
Super lost.
I will try to pimp the page again! I hope the interview brought you some views.
Getting close to d-day, any plans to adjust the rewards or press or anything?
I think this a great game, very cool. I think we will be looking at the creators of this game and thinking wow they started out with a 3-d game which they did on their own without major funding / corporate funding. It is a no brainer to support, this game was created by 13 -16 year coders and designers with vision. THAT IS AMAZING. We all need to support that just because it rare to see kids designing in excellence... without much formal training. Wow...the game play..the kinematics...the stereo soundtrack speaks volumes to the unlimited mind potential of young people who do not know the learned fear that adults have. They just go for it without limits... How much is that worth? On the particular game play I like FPS game it has a scary Halo / alien feel at the same time you feel alone and yet gravitated toward the level play ! FIVE stars dude !!
Thanks!
I'll definitely consider that.
You mentioned "The prologue is almost the length of a full retail game, and most gamers pre-order a game for $60 just to get the exclusive content. I think the rewards are quite reasonable."
Keep in mind those are typically consoles games. PC games come out at roughly $40-$50 with indie and low budget titles coming out at $10-$15. Even high quality blockbusters on PC like trine, torchlight, serious sam 3, and many more all came out on reduced prices.
Again, nothing but trying to help, but keep in mind your audience.
Good luck!
Look at it this way:
Game: $25
BTS + Game: $40
Prequel levels + BTS + Game: $100
Soundtrack + Prequel + BTS + Game: $400
Those are the 4 things that most interest people and I am sure it will put people off seeing it go for SO much. Look, I am backing the project and I want it to succeed, that is why I am mentioning this at all.
I would suggest the following:
$5: mention in credits:
$10: mention + BTS video
$20: Above + Comic
$30: Above + Game (release this later as the "special edition" for preordering prior to release)
$40: Above + Golden Guns/Health Upgrade
$60: Above + Soundtrack
$80/$100: Above + Prequel (Release as Deluxe edition)
$150: Above + Beta + Special mention in manual or prior to start of game
$250: Audio thank you from dev + Above
$500: Producer Credit + Above
$1000: Sketch/Artwork from game, Signed, + Above
I really do hope you guys get this out and I more then plan on reviewing it/discussing it on my podcast and on the site I write for. Good luck!
Not at all, the rewards are just extras you're basically supporting the game by giving amounts and throughout the amounts you're given awards that we're building 'just' for Kickstarter as an exclusive. The prologue is almost the length of a full retail game, and most gamers pre-order a game for $60 just to get the exclusive content.
I think the rewards are quite reasonable.
Your "rewards" are a bit mixed up. $60 for golden guns seems a bit much, should be that for just backing the game. $100 dollars to get the prologue? (it should be half that!)
Looks interesting, I hope it works out.
I'm looking forward to this! Great Concept!
