Hey everyone! With only 5 days left, it's very unlikely The Azimuth Gap Kickstarter will succeed. However, I very desperately want to get this story out to you all, and so I'm coming forward to ask how you all might like to see it handled. There are two ways I currently see to proceed, each with their own pros and cons.
The first is that I redo all of the artwork myself. I'm not a very good background artist nor a spectacular character artist, however, and so we will lose that polished quality. Doing all of the assets myself will also take a lot of time, so the releases will likely be very slow. However, the only limitations to the artwork will be my personal limitations, allowing for the possibility of more CGs, backgrounds, and possibly sprites. Plus, it's all free.
However, you've come to expect a certain art quality in the demo, and I'm worried lowering that quality would be disappointing. Plus, it would be a shame not to use the sprites I already have. So the second option would be to set up a way to donate to the project to at least finish commissioning the sprites, then work on backgrounds and CGs myself. The downside to this approach, however, revolves around not getting enough money to proceed with the artwork, and how lack of donations may stall the project.
I can post samples of my artwork soon, as well as dollar figures for the rest of the sprites, but in the meantime, I wanted to try to get a feel for what direction you all might want to go in. Thanks so much for your feedback!
