    [​IMG]Hank Zwally of the Mojo Game Studios tells us exactly for what the $40,000 of Aderyn's Cradle funding goal are needed:

    Good evening, Oracles!

    Having received a couple of comments on our campaign so far regarding this topic, we want to take a moment and make clear where exactly the $40,000 we're asking for would go and why it is small relative to the cost of producing this game. Our team believes that in order to have a successful crowdfunding campaign for the full cost of production it is important to be able to present a comprehensive picture of the vision of Cradle. In other words, we want to present a polished, vertical slice of the game which will illustrate how immersive and fun Cradle will be. We will use the slice to showcase several fully-implemented gameplay features:
    • the Icelands open world environment
    • world boss fight
    • weapon augment: demonstrate process of augmentation
    • mana collection and usage
    • soulfire lighting
    • Medica
    • jumping puzzle
    • journal
    • melee and ranged combat in action
    • dynamic weather and atmosphere
    Most of the money will be going towards compensating freelance artists, who cannot work exclusively for royalties, as all of our current team members do. All of the design work for this vertical slice is already done, and the systems to be showcased are approximately 80% complete. After we complete this vertical slice, we will conduct a second crowdfunding campaign (on Kickstarter or Fig) in order to raise the rest of the funds needed to complete the project.

    Regardless of whether we meet our $40k goal, we will still be producing this vertical slice and moving forward with the game's completion! However, if we do not make the goal on this Indiegogo campaign, we will still be moving forward with the vertical slice and the rest of the game's completion, but it will take much longer. The reason we are doing flexible funding is that, in this early stage of development, every amount donated helps accelerate production.
