Develop our next game that will be released on PC. Besides working on our future game, we also want to maintain and update our current game Squid Escape for Apple devices and release Squid Escape on Android devices. If we acheive our goal, we will give half (50%) of the total amount to the Child’s Play Charity. By contributing to our project, you get the chance to have unique rewards based on your contribution and you also get to support an independent studio and the Child’s Play Charity. If we get double the money we need (20 000$), we will give 10% more money to charity making it 60% of the total amount we obtain.
The game will be a 3D Adventure / RPG / 3rd Person View set on an archipelago where our hero (a grimy, old, world-renowned, retired pirate captain) will fend off the demons that are trying to invade the world. Using his strength and lifetime experience he will fight the demonic force with his arsenal of weapons and the dark energy emanating from his enemy to increase his capability, despite suffering greatly from using this strange power. Faced by dangerous foes, you will need to think of the best strategy for every situations. The visual style of the game will be cartoonish.
