Made a Little Kickstarter Experiment

Rise of the Penguins GB
A browser game made in HTML5

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/billwoo/rise-of-the-penguins-gb-for-gameboy

I made a little 30 day kickstarter to try and raise funds to overhaul the backgrounds in the base game. The main reasons are:

  • generate more appeal to more users because art seems to be one of the most essential things that make the game able to reach popular status
  • make the game more memorable
  • potentially better cutscenes

For some this may seem like I should wait until i get a response for a physical release but it's been a little less than a month since i've contacted some publishers and haven't gotten a response. So my impression is that the publishers are not interested. But there still is hope if I'm able to turn things around and prove to them that this game is worth publishing. All in all it's ok if there is no fancy box and physical release but I want to see how far this game can go.
