Making great games is hard work. We've been doing it for the past 14+ years and have delivered some great games with the highest degree of polish and on schedule.
We are doing several things that will enable us to deliver our game on time and manage the money you contribute to this project:
1.) Scheduling: One of the keys to bringing in a game on time and on budget is good scheduling. We've done this up front and so we know what features we'll have and how long they'll take to do. Built in is a buffer that allows us to also iterate, be fluid and organic based on the game's needs by cutting what doesn't work and substituting it for what does, and polishing all of these features to make the game the best it can be.
2.) Design: Just like our work on the Call of Duty franchise, we are carefully defining and iterating on each aspect of the game so that it remains polished and synergistic, keeping the scope of the game manageable, and the gameplay experience fluid and fun.
3.) Art: Section Studios creates some of the best art in the game business. They have a proven workflow for creating environments, characters, weapons and levels. Because of the 2D nature of To The Death, creating great art and moving it into the game is not a risk but an advantage.
Learn about accountability on KickstarterWe will continue to pursue development on additional platforms and we'll keep you up to date on any additions. We want everyone to have the opportunity to battle in To The Death!
Probably, but that's not what we're making.
What you see is just a combat prototype. The full game features a fully explorable overworld map, replayable levels with exponential configurations of enemies, bonus mini-game levels, a deep and varied progression system, dozens of special moves and combos, a story told from multiple perspectives, and a rich combat system with tight controls.
We have a big vision for To The Death and want to do the game its due service by bringing on the best artists, animators, sound designers, and musicians that we can.
We also have to account for Kickstarter fees (5%), Amazon fees (3-5%), and the cost to create and distribute the rewards. It’s no easy task, but one that we feel is well worth it.
This is our full time job. We've been self funding up to this point but we can't finish the project alone. We have some really talented people lined up, but we need your help to bring them on board.
