====================================

UPDATE: The Donation Campaign has ended. 

Donations past 03/07/2025 12 AM GMT+8 will no longer receive rewards. Thank you for your support!

====================================

Creating this game has been a labor of love, but like any creative project, it has its fair share of challenges. To keep things moving forward, we’re launching this small donation campaign to help cover costs and ensure we can continue working -- even when unexpected obstacles arise (e.g., hard drive failure, a broken drawing tablet and other laptop malfunctions we are now experiencing).

While we’ve managed to cover the art and voice acting budget so far, these unexpected setbacks have strained our financial ability to continue commissioning art and voice work. Hence, a change in our plans to push this emergency donation campaign. Your support means the world to us and makes a huge difference!

INVESTOR TIER

Name in Credits – $5  You can contribute through Ko-fi or here on Itch.io.

SHAREHOLDER TIER

Name in Credits + Talents Digital Sticker Set Sheet (Discount Price) – $8 

The digital sticker set sheet is also available in our Ko-fi shop, but I decided to include it here as a reward since it hasn’t gained much traction yet.

COFOUNDER TIER

Name in Credits + Talents Digital Sticker Set Sheet + Talents Digital Artbook (Discount Price & Preorder) - $20

Design is subject to change.

This small donation campaign helps us keep going, as funding can be unstable, especially when unexpected obstacles and blockers arise. We don’t have other rewards set up since crowdfunding wasn’t originally part of the plan (plus, we don't have a final set price for the full game yet, hence it's not part of the rewards), but every bit of support makes a huge difference!

Here’s how to ensure your credit:

• If you donate through Itch.io, please complete this form and upload your proof of transaction. This is also written on the text file included on your purchase.  (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScsOuTSfHnNshQqxChEztYJwd2XsYs-nA2M9sjQltcWyf_p4g/viewform?usp=preview). People who have previously donated before the demo version 3 release and haven’t been in contact with us can also use this form.
• If you donate through Ko-fi (tiers available at Shop), you can also use the form above OR message us your preferred name for the credits. We will use your ko-fi username if you can’t respond to our messages. If you donated through the one-time coffee payment option, we'll message you to confirm if it's for Talents or not.

We will contact you after the campaign for confirmation based on the details you've provided. If you've reached the Shareholder and Cofounder tiers, you should be able to access your digital sticker set sheet immediately in your downloads. Do note however that since the full game is still in development, the artbook will be sent on a later date via email. So please don't forget to fill the forms!

The campaign will end on March 7, 2025 12AM GMT+8, totaling 60 days for this campaign. 

We understand that donating comes with risks as this is an independent and ongoing project. So, please only donate what you can comfortably give and feel good about contributing. If you've decided to donate less or more than the thresholds given, we highly appreciate it. However, in case of refunds, we will only cover the threshold you've reached. We will consider the rest of the amount as pure donation for appreciation of our passion and of the project, which we'll be forever grateful for.

While the artbook will be available in our Ko-fi shop eventually, the name on credits reward will only be limited to this campaign.  We hope to use the funds on my laptop repair, additional CG art commissions, and more voice lines to improve the game's overall quality.
