In the future, we want to provide players addictive and very entertaining games. In order to do something big, we all need something to jump-start it with. THIS project is what I'm talking about.
So what's the best and lasting reward I can give you if you raise our fund? Since you help us make our first move towards our ultimate goal, we will get your email and give you a free copy of not just this current project but also each game we make in the future. Who doesn't want that? If you believe in us, we will definitely succeed in this project. then you will have a free video game factory!
What say you?
Why do we need money in the first place, you ask. Well, we know that everyone needs to eat and survive including us, creatives. Aside from that, we need to advertise this game and provide Demo Installers in CD. We hope that with enough advertising and marketing of this quality game, we might earn our funds for the next project which you can get it for Free! The more fund we get, the more advertising, marketing and savings we can have that will benefit the number of your free future games.
We haven't reached ALPHA, so as you can see, the graphics are still temporary(even the logo itself). Twice or thrice increase of the quality of the arts and other assets will be done before we reached BETA.
We are aiming to release this game at game portals like BigFishGames, IndieCity, GameHouse, etc. on the 1st week of June 2012. After BETA, we will give copies to the fuelers so that they can test it, find bugs, suggest something, etc. In short, to increase QUALITY one more step.
What makes this game standout?
Well, we want this game to be famous because of its high quality graphics, effects, interactivity and high replay value. That includes great optimization in the codes so that even older PCs or not so high-end laptops can play it at its full settings. We build our own game engine and tools for this project. There will be no reason for us to get lost on this one.
We will update you guys often(as often as every 2 weeks) regarding this project. We hope to see your name as fuelers of this great project.
Note:
"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."
