    congrats. are you using GameSalad to make this game? It looks like it needs Unity3d

    would be awesome if you can shed some light into how it's done. Perhaps a 2d rendering of 3d models, and stiching them together to create a 3d effect. It's mindboggling.
  • gsmetzergsmetzer Member Posts: 31
    Yes, I am using game salad. The characters are full 3D but the game will be 2.5D side-scrolling parallax.

    "Currently the software only supports Mac, iOS, Kindle Fire and NookColor."

    This gave it away as a GS game to me :-). Good luck.

    Congrats @GSMetzer! How did you get the word out? I just backed at the $25 mark, project looks really good!

    How did you promote your Kickstarter project?
    Graphics look awesome, by the way... best of luck with it.
  • gsmetzergsmetzer Member Posts: 31
    EinsteinApps. Thank you very much! Mostly the word has just been through friends and family and people sharing on Facebook. My dad is now my biggest promoter. Some people seem to stumble upon it from the site. It has become a full time job keeping up with everyone and getting it out there.

    Amazing Graphics! Congratulations on your 13k!
  • ZoytZoyt Member Posts: 374
    Wow! Sweet graphics and good job raising that money! The animations are pure gems. I really can't wait to see more of it. If I had the money, I would help fund you, but I really need to save for my Pro membership (and all my other expenses).
    P.S. The pro version of GS can publish to Android, so you might want to fix that on the page. And I'm hoping for an option to publish to Windows too.
  • gsmetzergsmetzer Member Posts: 31
    Thanks Zoyt,
    Yes I am thinking of adding a reward tier that is specific to android devices. I can’t afford to buy a bunch of devices to port to. I am also missing out on a lot of backers because of lack of PC support.

    The game looks amazing! Do you notice any performance issues? I have frequent stuttering/choppiness even on much lower scale games.

    WOW....love the graphics and concept of the game.
  • SinSquidSinSquid Member, PRO Posts: 135
    This is so inspirational. You really make me wanna go 2.5D on my next project. Love the art, this is going to sell a lot just because of the screenshots alone. Are there much hassle with kickstarter? What about taxes and stuff like that? I`ve been to afraid to add my projects there, because of some bad stories i`ve read about kickstarter founding (in norway).
  • gsmetzergsmetzer Member Posts: 31
    Yes, Its not all grand. After Kickstarter takes 5%, Amazon 5%, and then about 30% taxes, THEN you have rewards to work on pay for and ship. I don’t expect to have a whole lot left over to continue development. What I will have is a small fan base, buzz and built in marketing that is anticipating the release. That is the longer term goal here.
    The kickstarter website works wonderfully. It has been a full time job answering emails, marketing and getting the word out.
  • gsmetzergsmetzer Member Posts: 31
    We reached the 16k goal!
