Capstone Project – Getting it Kickstarted

As I explained in the last post, I’m working on making a comic book point-and-click adventure game called Quest to Nowhere: Summer Days. In order to do this, and have it look good, I’m hiring an artist friend of mine to draw the comic pages for the game.
Unfortunately I don’t really have the money to pay her, and that’s where you can come in. In order to cover the costs of the art I’ve setup a project over at Kickstarter. The deal with that is you can pledge money to my project, and if I meet or exceed my goal then I get the money. Otherwise I get nothing. It’s an all or nothing system.
So what is in it for you? Well depending on how much you pledge you can get different rewards like: access to an early beta version of the game, an appearance in the comic, access to a private development blog, or a special limited hardcover book edition of the comic. Other cool stuff like that.
There is also some more information about the project on the Kickstarter page. You probably won’t see many updates here on this blog about the project, I think most of those are going to be put up in the private Kickstarter development blog, although I will probably still post about some of the bigger milestone stuff here as well.
So if you are interested in helping me out some by pledging a donation, you can check out the Kickstarter page here.
