Hello everyone. Tomorrow we our launching or K.S campaign, and we are all nervous and excited at the same time. We have done a lot of prep work, setting up thunder clap, headtalker, submitting to the press bloggers on the internet, tweeting, face booking and more. We have really been reading up on how to become successful, and more! So any last minute feedback would be great. Our campaign launches tomorrow morning at 8am EST time. We will also be launching on Greenlight and a few other sites as well.

Here is the link any feedback would be great!

Wow this looks great! The thing is with so many companies helping you - why did they offer suggestions on fixing your campaign page?

The graphics aren't of a high enough quality I'm afraid, the video looks good - but it's repetitive.

The central character is a girl? What does her face look like? I think you should of based the page more around her story, then mention (and show) the cool accessories/add-ons you can collect.

I think the tiers are priced about right, although I'd like to see if free updates are included, expansion packs etc.,

For me, the character moves a bit weird. Whether it's the butt shaking or that she seems to be floating on air or how she moves forwards and backwards with no shadow...I guess you can change that later.

Who did you reach out to?

Hey Gifts and Coupons. Your talking about graphics. Well this is designed for the mobile device and most of what you were seeing was game play from a kindle fire. So of course its not going to have 400 dollar graphics card built into the kindle. I really can't do to much on the graphics because again its designed for mobile, and the point of designing the game is old school style NES-N64 adventure style game. We made that clear in the description. So just a fair bit of knowledge for you.

Shadows again, its a mobile game, ETC1 Does not put in shadows which is the texture format compressed to play on most andriod devices.

Other than that Yes free updates, free expansion packs, I would agree on the character, will be doing some changes with her.

Thanks for the feedback!

Hi, actually I was talking about the graphics on the campaign page - which I've got 400+ posts on this subject plus a website that lists campaigns...this was what I was refering too, not your game graphics (which look amazing).

Also you don't need to school me personally on graphics. I was involved in the Amiga Public Domain scene as a graphic artist. I know the restrictions of using DPaint2 with only 64 colours, but we made something great out of it.

The "shadows" part was in reference to the girl character. Since I commented it looked like she was walking on air, a nice shadow under her would of helped.

Hope it works out for you.

Checking it out LoGeek. Well tell you what, your by far not the first person to invent this. But your sure the first to admit that you did, and your going to be producing them, and selling them! Am in love the idea. Perhaps I could actually let my computer breath for once. Than again I never leave the house since am always on it, still love the idea.
