Do you need QA/Testers? If so, I volunteer. I don't have a life. I cant work just yet (disability issues), and all I really do is my coursework for university. Rest of my days are....a lot of nothing. I'm in my 30s and the boredom is real, y'all.
For fundraising, I've seen most developers use Kickstarter. You could just make the tier at say......$10 or $20 (however much you plan to charge for the game) to have the award of the game for free. Less than that, maybe like a Twitter shoutout or something like that. More than that could be the game + their name in the credits maybe? And super large amounts you would just have to be creative 🤣🤣 like...zoom call dinner date or some oddball thing. Or a Tshirt maybe?
Anyway, if yall need help setting that sort of thing up, hit me up. I haven't seen any donation links yet, and this post was from Jan.
Looking forward to Paper Lily! You two are working super hard and I hope y'all achieve everything you are hoping for.
