you quite positivilisciously cannot be serious my good friend

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be an annoying shill, it's just I have so little time these days to actually work on this game despite me wanting the scope to be large, money affords me more time to focus on it, but unfortunately my stuff doesn't often get a lot of attention online.

>>1302
I was describing the game's style in broader terms, I should've been more descriptive I guess

>>1303
I wish I had enough money to just endlessly publish things for free, but it's so hard to make ends meet these days and my free time seems to be less and less as I get older, it makes me sad as I truly love making art. Regardless, if you'd like a copy of the game for free, I'll gladly give you it when it releases, just email me. My hopes of getting the Kickstarter funded is 0 anyways, I'll still make this game just it'll take longer as I'm a solo dev.

nvm you have a jap last name you're not a larping twit you cool

Alright let's rate this thread:
+It shows some screenshots, good job
+Digging a bit I found a short video of gameplay, good job.
+It's an actual game being made, good job.
+It has systems that appear to work, good job.

-10 entries into a mega game, okay that sounds too ambitious when you have yet to show something playable but I'll humo…
-Kickstarter Woah, woah
-LAUNCHING ON AUG 31st WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH
You seem to be far ahead of yourself than you should be, at least with what you have shown, have you researched KS? You're right you are probably not gonna get funded, you need to plan that properly, stretch goals, rewards, budget, how you are gonna advertise the KS, do you have a kickass trailer showing everything the game can do and could realistically achieve with funding, what's the game funded vs not funded situation, do you even need a budget for a game like this? What do you need the money for? is it voice acting? original music? hiring freelance artists? People in KS need that info to take you seriously, are you ready for the change of workload if you succeed? The money isn't just to spend on yourself.
Be careful and ask yourself if you are not better off with just a kofi/patreon goal, or Indiegogo, I am telling you this because if your KS fails you get NOTHING

I've been there, failed and succeeded, you are not a larping faggot, you have potential and its admirable that you actually got to work on it, but don't take this lightly.

I appreciate this reply anon. This game has been in development since early 2025, after two prototypes in 2024 that I worked on, I scrapped them as I didn't like the direction they were going in. I have the bones and what not of the game done, but some things could use polishing as it's more complicated than a typical RPG Maker game as I've had to learn Java to take advantage of RPG Maker MV. This project dates all the way back to 2020 as it was quite popular and got the featured page on a small website called RPG Maker.net the page pulled in 20,000+ views, sadly that site when defunct. I was pretty young at the time so had 0 clue how to capitalize on the attention as it hit me like a truck. Regardless if I get the money or not, I'm making this game, it'll just take longer.


There's a reason I'm splitting it into 10 parts, it's so I can release something instead of taking 6 years to release just one game that on one cares about, the parts are realistically just about 2 hours of gameplay, which will take a lot of effort but I can pull it off, as I released a game previously that was 12+ hours and it was free. I work a lot these days, even perhaps having to consider two jobs in a few months, as it's getting harder and harder to survive and my jobs pay me minimum wage, I hate e-begging but it feels like I've gotten to a point where things are becoming more and more dire as time passes.


It kills me each and everyday knowing that my dream project has to be pushed to the side. I'm undershooting the goal drastically as I'm only asking for 400$ The money is quite literally just to help me out, I've put some unique stretch goals that might incentivize people such as them getting there own NPC in the game for cheap, I've wanted to do a Kickstarter ever since 2024 and did plan this out, but the algorithm on mainstream websites despises me no matter how much I post.

You make a good point anon, if I fail I do gain nothing but lost time, I just see so many slop projects get 10k+ with no trailer or anything just false promises and concept images, so I thought maybe I'd throw my hat into the ring.

This game will be made with or without money, as I have a deep passion for making art and have wanted to make a game like this since I was a child, this was before indie RPG's where even popular or trendy.

Sorry if this reply was lengthy, as I'm just grateful for your response, thanks for checking my passion project out.

>$400
Oh…oh well then disregard what I said lol, do consider Kofi/Patreon though. But with such a small ammount you'll do just fine.

Social media and marketing are a painful part of it, I'll be following your progress, cheers!

PS. you'll be spammed with messeges from "experts" that "help" boost your campaign, you probably don't need to hear this but just in case, they are full of shit, every single one of them.
