Monsterpunk Kickstarter Week II Status Report

Second verse, same as the first.

At this point I figure I could tell people that our next stretch goal will be to buy me a skull fortress on a volcanic island for a million dollars and if it happened by next weekend I'd just go "Yeah, that checks out."

It's a shame I have too much integrity to do that. We're not doing more stretch goals, because this is all the work I can safely take on and I'm not looking forward to becoming another Peter Molyneux.

We've still got two weeks to go and we're still going strong though. More funding means more and better art assets. Monster art, landscapes, combat maps, all that good stuff. I figure I could say "Give me 10k and I'll get 3 landscapes plus a bestiary with 50 monsters and a map pack with 20 maps." But I can't 100% promise that with our current schedule, it's a lot of work not just for me but also for the people I'm paying to make these assets. If they get sick for or, you know, life happens at them for a week or two we won't meet the deadlines, so I'd rather just do however much we can with the money we get and leave it at that.

That number isn't a complete fabrication, by the way, it's the figure I ended up with after doing a lot of math. We might actually make it at this rate. It seems farfetched, but so seemed every stretch goal before. Crazier things have happened. If we do then, well, now you know how much I want to expand that bestiary and map pack, I guess.

Who knows, maybe next week I'll ask for that skull fortress.

Gimmick Out.
