Who are we ?
I, Nicolas Morin, lead a small team of 2D video-game developer, currently we are working on two projects at the same time. At Nekoraï Studios we develop 2D games to promote the idea that 2D game-play can still be entertaining.
For a complete year I financed this studio, now is time to get to be known by people. This is why I'm starting this Rocket Hub project. We are in an era of sharing and redistribution of the credit of the artist who work on project. Our goal isn't to make money with our games, our goal is that you get a good moment in your day playing our games. Our goal is to give the credit to our workers and not to ourselves. To sustain our goal we don't pay our artist on hour basis but on sells basis. This mean each time you buy a game in our system you pay directly the worker who brought you a good game to life. Each time you play our games you earn a little amount of cash to play another one. This IS Nekoraï Studios.
What is TRIPLE WARS
Triple Wars consists in three types of arcade games, tank hunting game, a plane Bullet Hell or Danmaku and finaly a submarine hunting game. We plan on make three scenarios for each type of games. So there will be 9 levels to play plus we are building a level editor. There will be also a multi-player mode over the net and local network. By merging the three types of game play we can create a full story of warship between three clans: The Monstrum, the Animi and the Angelus. These guys will fight over and over to get the so desired resources-full island in the middle of the war map.
Each clan has three heroes, one in each type of games. Their quest is victory over the other countries. This game is story-driven for the one-player mode. In multiplayer mode we hope to develop a great community that makes levels and contribute to the fun factor of the game.
What do we do with your money
The objective is 3000 $ for the next three month.
If we manage to get more founding than what we are asking for. Then we may start other cool projects. Here we have a long list of storylines that is quite extensive so we need funding to bring life to our next projects. Go to the http://games.nekoraistudios.com/ to learn about our work.
For those who don't know what rocket hub is, here is a note that may enlighten you.
"1. RocketHub is not an investment or charity. It is an exchange: funds from fans for rewards from me.
2. It's an All & More funding mechanism: if I don't reach my financial goal I get to keep what I raise. But if I do reach my goal, I get access to exciting opportunities."
