A Question for the Kickstarter

Balance of Power
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Android

Hello ^^

Now that our demo's been out for a week and people have had a chance to play, I was hoping to get some feedback in preparation for our Kickstarter in November 

We wanted to share some of our ideas for rewards and stretch goals, but also more importantly, hear what you guys would want to see!

Let's start with stretch goals!

Rather than guessing at what people want, and having a set order to the stretch goals, the current plan is to allow people to vote on the order that these goals are added in. The price next to the goal is the amount we would need to raise above the base Kickstarter to be able to add it to the game. There are still some things we want to keep as a surprise for the Kickstarter,  , but here are some of the stretch goals that we have planned out thus far:

Matchmaker/Polyamourous DLC:


Want to be in a polyamourous relationship with two of the characters instead of doing solo routes? Or perhaps you want to see their romance play out from the side? With this stretch goal, we'd be able to add in routes to allow this :)

Depending on the amount extra, we'd be able to make these either short or full length routes.

More Endings/Joke Endings:



We want to be able to add in a whole host of comedic endings, or even some extra serious ones. To make these endings as good as they could be, with proper ending art, we'd need some extra funding ^^. Want an ending where you become a superhero, or, perhaps a super villain ? A solo route ending? Then this stretch goal is what you want.

Partially Voiced:



Want to hear what each of the characters sound like? Hear the most important words aloud, as well as just reading them? For this amount we can have the game partially voiced, and those special moments will be that little bit more immersive :).

More Locations and Outfits:




Want to take a fun trip to the beach with the cast? Perhaps see them all in Halloween costumes, or formal clothes? This tier would allow us to add more fun locations and location specific outfits, that otherwise wouldn't make the cut for the base game.

Chibi Illustrations:



I want to be able to add cute chibi illustrations to comedic moments of the game, like the one of Tommy falling asleep ^^. This is costly however, and I didn't want to add it in to the base Kickstarter cost. This tier would allow us to add in these little extra touches, that I think would make the game more fun.

________________________________________________________________________________________

More CG's per route:



A pretty simple tier. With this extra money, I'd be able to add in two more CG's to every route.

________________________________________________________________________________________

Extra routes:






Last but not least, we have some extra routes as a potential goal. Who are these people? Find out in the run-up to the Kickstarter.

Now to turn it over to you guys. What do you think of these goals? Are there any we've missed that you'd like to see? Let us know!
