As you might remember from "So, I might be dying II," I'm having surgery at the end of September.
They're telling me the recovery time is at least a month. Unfortunately, my job only pays half wage for short term disability. So, I'm trying to find something I can do to make up for lost wages. And my options are kinda limited by the fact that I can't do much that isn't just using a computer.

If I can get this funded, I can afford to take medical leave. And I'll have 50+ hours a week to devote solely to the creation of this story.

This one is part of the ever-popular "transfer student discovers their new school is weird" genre.
(Drakilian, come back, I promise it isn't a 'school game.')
You're a serial killer, and the school is full of demons.

The basic game has demon hunters, succubi, werewolves, and over 20 different endings.
You can play as male or female, each with their own unique storyline, and there are male and female optional romance sidequests for both characters.

There are also options to fund extended editions of the game. These take the basic edition and add new content:

Lovely
This is the version I would buy, if I were purchasing the game instead of writing it.
New romance options, more characters, and a whole new storyline focused on the relationship-building aspect of the game.

Deadly
Drak, this is for you: a version focused on grimdark.
More 'bad' endings, more options for NPC death, and a whole new storyline focused on the serial-killer aspect of the game.
Yes, the basic edition's romance is still in there, but you can ignore it. In fact, you can kill off all the love interests so you don't have to worry about accidentally triggering a love story.

Devilish
The Ultra-Deluxe version of the game. Has all the content from both Lovely and Deadly editions, as well as a third completely new storyline.

Hope you get some good response back from this Seth. I'll throw a token in the hat sometime next week

I'll give what I can once I get around to getting a bank account. You think you'll make your goal? (Kickstarted doesn't let you keep your proceeds of you don't meet your goal).

When in doubt, get both. Went for the Devilish edition so I wouldn't have to decide!

Yeah, I know. And honestly? I'm 90% certain I won't make it. But that'd be 100% if I didn't even try.

So, it is what it is. Maybe I'll get lucky.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #7 on:** August 10, 2016, 02:13:21 pm »

I'm hoping it works out for you Seth!

Especially because (selfish reasons) it would give me the courage to try a Kickstarter myself, for setting up my new Martial Arts Studio when I eventually get settled here in NC.

It's just cuz if you don't think you'll make it it might be better to use indygogo or something like that, or I could send you the money personally instead of sending it to kickstarter

Yeah, how does that work with Kickstarter? If it isn't funded, do I get the donation back? If so, then I would be happy to just send it back to you via paypal or the like after the fact.

You don't actually pay until the final day of the fundraising period. If the project doesn't meet its goal, then they never charge your card.

I don't want to be just like 'hey, send me money,' and I don't think I could make this game without time off from my regular job.
This way is simple: if I get the $, I can make the game. If I don't, I can't.
Then I don't have twenty ppl who thought they were getting a game I don't have time to make.

^Good point.

Wooo you broke 100!

Seems like you're at 270ish right now, which isn't bad.

I like the idea, but there's not much on the kickstarter that really brings confidence that it can be done. The art is just sketches at this point, the description of the plot is all we know about it, and the video is just the pictures on different backgrounds (and the code shown looks like default ren'py code).

If you look at the ones that are successful they normally have lots of information and many even have a demo. A demo is too far off, but I really do think it'd go a long way to post bios for some of the characters, go a bit more into detail about the setting maybe, and even try and get a coloured picture or two.

"We're still on target for release at end of January."

Last update is mid December.

Wonder what's happened to him.

Drakilian · « **Reply #24 on:** February 07, 2017, 03:43:00 pm »

Reason he needed the income was medical, maybe something went wrong

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #25 on:** February 08, 2017, 12:23:09 pm »

Yeah, hope things work out for him.
