I really like the art, it's probably the first thing that drew me to the game.
Do the rewards and goal seem achievable?
Hmm, with any kickstarter it depends on how you go about it? The goal seems similar to other kickstarter goals for visual novels. I recommend putting information down on how long the game will me (in either total word count or hours of play.)
I think having a physical reward, even as small as stickers, being set to $10 is going to make life very difficult. Unless you're working with another company, such as Backerkit, that means you will need to ship all of those stickers by hand to each address, people's address might change between when they backed and when the game is out, etc. I generally recommend not doing physical rewards unless you absolutely have to, and then only at high levels.
I also recommend giving the full game at a higher tier-- $5 is super cheap and it means that *lots* of people are going to back at that level. Generally speaking, the most people will back at the level that will give them a copy of the game. Even if you plan to sell the game for $5, I feel like folks who are kickstarting can pay a bit more than base price because they're trying to support a new thing being made.
If you do it this way, recommend adding some other thing that is backer-only, like having their name in the credits or having a special outfit for the MC or love interests, or a special backers-only ending. Something that makes people interested in paying more right out of the gate. (Especially good if it's something where you put the work in once, and that work applies to all the backers, instead of you having to do it for each backer on an individual basis like you would with shipping.) Those are just my thoughts in general though!
If you could donate, which tier would you go for?
Hm, it depends on my financial situation at the time of the kickstarter launch. I will usually not donate more than $20 for the base level of a game. I'm personally not super interested in stickers or wallpapers. If the game is given for free at $5 I would likely back at that level-- but as I said I do feel that's a little cheap and it might be hard to reach your goal like that. (Unless you just do a phenomenal job at marketing, like contacting a bunch of game reviewers, blogs, video game sites, Facebook pages, etc.)
Which character seems the most appealing so far?
I like them all, they seem good. :) I look forward to seeing more of them.
Would you kill any of them?
I would probably kill them one at a time. I'm a completionist, so I will pick one character and then get all their endings, then move onto the next one.
Are there any questions you have about the game?
Hm, I guess how long it will be? How many endings per route? I am curious!
Comments?
I'm happy to see a non-binary protagonist!
Thanks for the great feedback! :D
Ah, wow, so amazing to hear the art drew you in, such a relief to hear it's likable!!! ;w;
This is true, I do feel like I have little to offer if I don't give our physical rewards though :O
In which case, I should probably move the physical things up to a much higher tier. Maybe just put them all in the same tier since if they are all shipped together that makes it easier P:
I'm wondering what other digital rewards I could offer though?
Since it seems a lot of people don't have much interest in wallpapers x_X
I think the exclusive costume thing is a great idea! :D
Maybe I should offer the game for free at 15 dollars and also access to 1 alternate outfit for all of the guys P:
I'll think about it more, I definitely do think I should probably try and come up with more digital rewards though :O
It makes me happy that you like all the guys! >w<
I always worry about the precious children ^^;
Hmmmm
I'm not sure how long it will take, but I'm estimating a total of 100,000 words?
rather sizable I think :O
It's great to hear you like the MC as non-binary! OuO
I thought it would be nice as well, to have a character whose gender isn't defined :3
THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND FEEDBACK!!!
