Thanks to Daren DiClaudio for his amazing contribution! 36% to the main goal and 23 days to go!

Due to the engine I am creating this on, I cannot port it over to android. I have already backed skyjacker and the ouya on my other account, and am looking forward to them shaping up!
Creator Mar-X-maN on July 12, 2012
Hello I have to admitt I only backed your project for the minimum pledge
because I wanted to post here. You have propably already heard of OUYA,
the new Android based video console. From a financing standpoint it
is already considered a success. What it needs however to be successful
is good games. So here is the idea, we back your project if agree to
port your game over to OUYA or make a game for OUYA. Basically I am saying one
hand washes the other.
Possible Developers / Games for OUYA
DIGITILUS / SKYJACKER - Space Combat Sim
Sean Kauppinen / Legends of Aethereus - Action RPG

Thanks for the advice. I will have my better computer, so I can remake the video. I will add gameplay instead of pictures. I will add what you suggested. Thank you!
Creator randalthor on July 10, 2012
I'm liking the concept of your game. To help your Kickstarter succeed, I'd like to offer you some friendly advice.
At the time of writing this, I have backed 38 different Kickstarter games. Of those 38, 5 games have failed to reach their goal. The successful Kickstarters have some things in common with each other. They all frequently communicated with their backers with regular updates. The Kickstarters that failed would let many days pass before giving an update. Communicate often with regular updates. Little by little, reveal new facts about the game or your development process. Tell us more about the previous games you made or modded. Reminisce with us about what you loved from your favorite old school RPGs, and what elements from them have inspired this game.
I would also recommend that you back some other RPGs on Kickstarter. Then you'll be able to mention your game in the comments section of those other Kickstarters. You should also try posting about your game on: Rock, Paper, Shotgun; Redit; 1up, etc. This game needs more exposure to succeed.
You may also want to consider replacing your video on the Project Home tab of your Kickstarter. You don't sound very enthused when you're talking. Put some excitement and energy into a new video. You're going to need enthusiastic backers to succeed. And you can't expect your backers to be excited about your game if you're not.
I really hope your game gets made. Good luck!
