Re: Introducing: Out of Sight Games
Okay, guys, I've been playing this close to the vest - wanted to keep it hush-hush until we actually rolled it out - but I need your input, so it's time to show my hand...
In the (hopefully very) near future, we are going to be launching a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for our game. First let me say that the game itself is almost 100% playable. I've played it through multiple times, and other than a couple of unfinished side quests, everything can be done. Yes, there are some features we'd still like to add; yes, we still have a good bit of sound design to finish. Honestly if we were impatient, we could release it today, and it'd be fina Once the sound design and polishing features are done, we could release it and I'm convinced it'd be as good or better than anything comparable on the market (but I am biased). The fact we've done that with literally no budget is, in my honest opinion, pretty darn impressive.
But we aren� 39;t content with that. We want the dialogue of this game to be fully voice-acted. Since it's an RPG, already the most dialogue-heavy genre, and particularly a story-driven one, we're talking a boatload of dialogue. We're talking 40+ unique NPCs here (I think the tally is somewhere around 17,000 words of dialogue). So we want to try to raise enough funds to hire a team of voice actors to provide the dialogue for the game. That's why I haven't released much promotional material about the game yet - demo audio, detailed descriptions, and so on - I want to save those things for the Kickstarter project.
So anyway, I have a question for the community: when it comes to crowd-funding campaigns related to audio games, what sorts of incentives / rewards for donating are the most appealing to you? We already have some ideas, but I'm curious to know what your favorite/preferred types of rewards are. I can't promise your recommendations will make it into the project, but I can at least say that we'll take them into consideration, and that your suggestions for what kind of bribes (er, rewards) we can offer will be very helpful.
