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

Hello everyone. 

Now that the Kickstarter is over, I wanted to give everyone an update about what our plans are going forward ^^.

First things first though, I want to thank everyone who supported us from the bottom of my heart. I was very anxious when I first released the demo, and seeing everyone's messages and support has been amazing and very emotional.  

We won't be giving up on this game, even though the Kickstarter was unsuccessful.

On that note, I have some good news:

Luckily, £1000 of the money that was donated to this Kickstarter is from a family member, who's said they're going to give us that money anyway. 

The current plan is to use that to buy the remaining sprites we need and a few backgrounds, and continue working on the game as best we can. When we have a version that's complete apart from the remaining art that we can't afford (which will be CG's and backgrounds), we'll try and re-launch the Kickstarter. If it succeeds, great :). We'll buy the CGs and backgrounds we're missing and can release the game as we originally intended it. If it fails again, we'll probably release the version with just the sprites and no cg art, so people can at least see how the story ends ^^.

We'll be keeping everyone updated as we move forward, and hopefully by the time the game is written/scripted/programmed, we'll have raised a bit more awareness and can try again for a successful Kickstarter, with some improvements :).

We don't know 100% yet what the timeline for that will be now, or whether there'll be any changes, but rest assured that I'll be keeping everyone updated if there is. And I'm happy to answer any questions that people may have :)  

I hope that you'll continue to follow our development as we work towards realising our dream of a finished game.

With sincere thanks, 

Cami
