Hi all, I’ve been working on an idea for an audio game for a while now, and I figured to start things off I needed to get some cash. Therefore I found what they like to call a funding platform for creative projects (kickstarter by name) and signed up there. One of the big things I need the cash for is developer licenses for certain game creation toolkits, which cost a lot. The reason I’m planning to go with these toolkits is that they support android, the iPhone, linux, windows, and mac all in one. That way I don’t have to put so much effort into porting code from platform to platform. Needless to say this will be a truly cross-platform game that I will hopefully be working on in the near future. So without preamble, a bit about the game: The idea of the game is that you have to save your family while avoiding dangerous enemies and traps. However, once you find your family there will be a bit of a twist, where you have to get your family back home safely. This would provide a bit of a challenge, as you have to keep your family alive, but possibly have them fight with you as well. Anyway, I plan to introduce both side scroller and full 3d levels into this game. Not to mention that if possible I would like to make some 3d audio in the game as well (although of course you will be able to use simple stereo headphones to play if you don’t have the 3d setup). The reason I wrote this seemingly long winded letter is to ask for support. As I mentioned, I started a project on kickstarter, which I will now tell a bit more about. For those who don’t know, kickstarter is a platform where people pledge money to a developer/maker/whoever, and they provide rewards, whether it be a free copy of the game, a limited addition of a t-shirt, or whatever. If anyone has the ability I would urge you to go provide whatever you can to help the development of this game.

Thank you all kindly. -Michael, MTGames. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
