After gathering experience creating assets for PROTOFACTOR STORE and for some published titles, PROTOFACTOR is currently on its way to prepare a Kickstarter campaign for a future 3rd person shooter game. This game will be aimed at OUYA console, Android TEGRA 3 tablets and I PAD.
It’s not possible to tell too much about it before the campaign is actually started, but the action will take place in a Space Opera Fantasy genre with original creatures, bosses and playable characters.
This game will have some in App purchases in order to get some new content : characters / Levels with missions. Be sure that it won’t be a “pay to win” game but a "pay to enjoy more ".
Once the campaign will be ready, means when most of the concept arts, presentation video, first playable demo level video will be done it will be possible to launch. But before it would be nice to have feedback and creating a network to be sure to be right on target and succeed.
Just wanted to let the community know that its help will be highly appreciated once the campaign will start. Any help and network connections is always something good to spread the word.
So don’t hesitate to follow the signature leading to PROTOFACTOR’s FACEBOOK and TWITTER. These have recently been created in order to create a network and listen to people expectations, questions etc …
well, if you refer to the upper case for the thread title. Sorry if you think this is a shout, nothing aggressive here or to try to burst one’s ear. looks more like a title to me. Well that was the initial intention. Not used to feel posts and comments this way ( lower case : talking / upper case : yelling ).
Anyways, sorry about that. Just wanted to make it more visible.
When I create a thread in the asset store section to showcase an asset , it’s usually under this form : " CHARACTER ( rigged, skinned and animated ) ". none of the users ever told me that it was a shout … I don’t understand your position especially when I tried to explain how I felt about it.
What if I ask a moderator to change the thread title with only lower case? Would you feel more comfortable about it?
thanks a lot for that! Really sorry about this UPPER CASE thing LOL … As I said I’m really not used to lower case = whisper UPPER CASE = YELLLLIINNNGG !!!
Its just one of those things I personally find annoying. Its like when people underline/bold text. Its like they assume your comprehension is below their own, and need to highlight it so you don’t miss it… not usually the intention (im sure), but its how its perceived by me. I can appreciate the need to feel ‘seen’ though.
Anyhoo… with no actual KS campaign… what was the point of this? A bit more info, some screenshots, etc and I might consider clicking on your facebook/twitter links, which is what I assume this thread was actually about.
Thanks for your comment. Indeed as mentioned in the first post it’s mostly to build a network in order to have a solid crowd to inform when the campaign will launch. The actual screenshot, video demo, concepts etc would only be available as the kickstarter campaign starts.
Since what I read so far about successful campaigns mainly rely on crowd and network ( followers etc … ). Usually this being done about 3 months before launching the actual campaign. 3 months that will be used to develop a prototype level with a playable character , a first environment and a few creatures as well as gathering a few quotes from coders and sound designers in order to have the more accurate amount to ask for.
Currently some nice pieces of code will be used to create the demo and this will down the road require hook ups etc in order to have a character selection menu ( in App purchase to unlock new characters ), level / mission selection menu etc …
Hope you now understand better what I’m trying to do.
Thanks for the kind words ! Highly appreciated. Unfortunately succeeding in a kickstarter campaign requires way more than talented people and quality models, sounds, code. That’s why I’m trying to gauge the potential interest at first here on the unity forum since this game will be developed with this wonderful UNITY 3D engine. Just hope that a lot of people will think just like you. It will be a great support and encouragement to go on with that project.
