What is the Mystery Game?
The Mystery Game is a fun and addictive game were you, a little monster, have to run and jump around a various levels to find things of interest, everything from chocolate to gold bars! You will then have to take them back to your home base, all the while avoiding dangerous guards who will try and stop you in everything you do!
The game becomes very addictive with all the unlocks you can earn for your character, things like invisibility and super-speed! You will even be able to unlock new characters and levels to explore and steal from!
I hope you understand how early in production the game is so all I speak of is not in the video.
Why do you need money?
I need money because I want to make the game as great as I can possibly make it!
What will you do with the money?
The money will go towards a new computer to speed up the development process, software such as AI frameworks for the enemy's (not in the video)and wages for musicians as I have no musical talent!
Why is the project important?
It is important to me and the community because a game like this has not been done before. It is also the first major game our plucky little Irish studio has made and so it is very important to me and I hope you can feel this passion for the project!
Other cool things!
The game will be sold on IndieCity which is a brand new Indie game portal for pc! It is similar to steam just without the stress and AAA games. Check it out here
I have put alot of thought into the rewards and I hope they are of value. I would also like to state that RocketHub is not an investment or charity, it is an exchange: funds from fans for rewards from me.
