WEBVTT -- English 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.468 So Kickstarter is a game of trust, right? 00:00:02.767 --> 00:00:05.847 The backers -- that's you -- trust the developer to make the game 00:00:06.227 --> 00:00:09.958 and the dev -- that's me -- trusts their idea will find an audience. 00:00:11.028 --> 00:00:13.028 So here we go. 00:00:13.029 --> 00:00:15.029 I'm Ste. I do all kinds of things 00:00:15.477 --> 00:00:17.724 and I make videogames, and right now I'm making a game called 00:00:19.568 --> 00:00:21.568 Chime Sharp is a music puzzle game, 00:00:21.568 --> 00:00:23.568 a followup to Chime, a game I made five years ago. 00:00:24.498 --> 00:00:26.498 You fit blocks together to form quads 00:00:26.503 --> 00:00:28.503 the quads burst and colour the grid 00:00:28.504 --> 00:00:30.504 and a piece of music literally builds. 00:00:30.981 --> 00:00:34.409 Your patterns are read as chimes, just like a music sequencer 00:00:34.411 --> 00:00:36.826 and every time you play you make different music. 00:00:37.509 --> 00:00:40.125 Last time round that music came from some amazing artists 00:00:40.125 --> 00:00:43.045 and we're got some equally brilliant people in mind for C# 00:00:43.292 --> 00:00:45.292 but we'll get to that. 00:00:45.293 --> 00:00:47.293 The first Chime was a brilliant game, I think 00:00:47.295 --> 00:00:49.295 one of the best I've been involved with 00:00:49.295 --> 00:00:51.295 but there’s a lot I want to improve. 00:00:51.296 --> 00:00:53.296 For example, Chime has two rival systems 00:00:54.009 --> 00:00:56.009 the ambient, relaxing block placement 00:00:56.009 --> 00:00:58.009 and the brutal pressure of the timer. 00:00:58.500 --> 00:01:01.390 I want to fix that clash, and some other things too. 00:01:02.360 --> 00:01:05.328 Chime Sharp, to this point, has been funded by Ian and Jonathan. 00:01:05.677 --> 00:01:07.677 They were involved in the first Chime as well 00:01:07.677 --> 00:01:10.582 and they’ve trusted me enough to put in THEIR money to get us here. 00:01:10.584 --> 00:01:13.844 But trust works two ways,and that's why we're doing this Kickstarter. 00:01:14.010 --> 00:01:16.799 I need to prove to them that there's an audience who want this. 00:01:17.537 --> 00:01:20.129 The money you put into Kickstarter gives me three things 00:01:20.837 --> 00:01:22.837 It buys me time to add other ways to play 00:01:23.015 --> 00:01:25.015 and if you back at a certain tier you'll get 00:01:25.016 --> 00:01:27.016 to try the new modes out as we implement them. 00:01:27.787 --> 00:01:29.787 It's also the money we're using to support our musicians. 00:01:30.826 --> 00:01:32.826 The more we raise, the more chance we have of finding 00:01:32.888 --> 00:01:34.888 Chimes dream soundtrack. 00:01:35.637 --> 00:01:37.637 And it builds trust. 00:01:37.638 --> 00:01:39.638 It shows that there are people out there who want this. 00:01:40.170 --> 00:01:42.170 Because Kickstarter's a game of trust, right? 00:01:42.781 --> 00:01:44.781 And to help you understand Chime we've put 00:01:44.783 --> 00:01:46.783 a one level browser version of Chime Sharp 00:01:46.784 --> 00:01:48.784 In its current form on the web. 00:01:48.998 --> 00:01:50.998 If you back us right now you'll be able to 00:01:50.998 --> 00:01:52.998 download a three-level version for Windows or Mac 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:55.278 as soon as the Kickstarter finishes 00:01:55.590 --> 00:01:57.590 and you'll stay with us as we try new game modes 00:01:57.590 --> 00:01:59.590 and find Chime’s new heart. 00:01:59.989 --> 00:02:01.989 That's it. We know Chime is 00:02:01.990 --> 00:02:04.968 a pure game with a solid core and dedicated fans. 00:02:05.227 --> 00:02:07.227 We also know music puzzle games don’t get the 00:02:07.228 --> 00:02:10.205 same sort of attention as First Person Shooters or RPGs 00:02:10.587 --> 00:02:12.587 and that means we've got to find our audience. 00:02:13.108 --> 00:02:15.108 We need your support. 00:02:15.109 --> 00:02:18.325 Play the game, back the Kickstarter, tell your friends 00:02:18.326 --> 00:02:21.042 and tell us you want a new, sharper version of Chime. 00:02:21.486 --> 00:02:23.486 Because I really do. Trust me.
