Let's do this!

Hello there!

I'm Henrique Campos, from Pigdev Studio. We are a game development studio absolutelly passionate with freedom. And that has everything to do with this sales!

This is a product we from Pigdev have being designing since January 2018, we decided to understand the needs of creating a Platformer game and how to ease the curve of production for such games.

To do so we developed many prototypes, with the most recent and best iteration being Juan Saga which was developed in less than a month!

So we are pretty confident that we have a solid product but we'd like to improve it, and for this we need your help!

The Product

As you can see, we develop many games, this is our passion! But we decided to help you in this journey as well. So we created a Godot Engine Platformer Template to help you start making your games.

We decided that this will be a reliable source for people to prototype and even create complete featured games, so in order to help everyone, this, as everything we make, will be MIT CCBY asset in the Godot Asset Library. So that everyone can get it from the Templates page right the way.

"But what about this itch.io assets?"
You, now.

This is a SUPER AMAZING CREATIVE BUNDLE, only by acquiring the template here on itch, you will get:

• Editable Assets
• A Wiki-like Manual
• A Cookbook with awesome recipes to try on your games
• Special Role for priority support on Discord!

The Price

By pre-ordering the Bundle using this itch.io sale you will get the amazing 25% discount! And this have 2 awesome reasons:

1. You will be funding the first ever Godot Platform Template and will enter to history (see below to know why we are funding it)
2. As the Template updates its features, improving the possibilities, the quality and usability, we will increase its value as well, so is a one time oportunity!

We decided to set the current price to $10 to know how valuable making games can be to people, how much value we can add to their lives by helping them #finishgames and feel the pleasure we feel when people play our games. All of this while lowering the costs enough to make the price accessible to everyone.

The Funding

As you can see this sale has a goal, which we set based on our plans about how much time we will expend improving the Template, the costs, some of the money will be used to help contributors to solve issues that we expect to happen during the development, which we can't handle alone (so if you are a gamedev with skills on Godot, be prepared for our bouties).

To explain this better, we set this goal to deliver the best product we can think of in terms of usability, quality, poductivity, scalability and further support.

The reason why we decided to do this is because we don't believe is worthy to prevent people from accessing the Template from Godot Asset Library by making this Template a proprietary software, our ethical beliefs prevent us to make any IP dependent product or service.

So the only way we thought about that we could help people while doing our living out of this would be by productizing our service in forehand. Awesome isn't it? It took some time to design this in an ethical based way.

What ifs

Wait...YOU ARE NOT CONVICED YET?

Ok! So here goes FAQ!

• What if you guys don't reach the goal during the sales?
  • Well, unfortunatelly that means that people are not that interest in the product, but we know where people are doing amazing projects that may need some help
  • If we fail to reach the goal, since itch.io doesn't have a refund policy for funding campaigns, all the money will go, proportionally, to projects we love: Godot Engine, Inkscape and LMMS. So they can do awesome stuff we valuate so much
• What will happen later?
  • After the funding we will make games! <3 
  • Since this is something we are very interesting in having for our studio we will improve this as you ask and as we see the need, so after the first official release (scheduled to 1 month after the funding sale) we will open the roadmap for new features and improvements and you will hopefully have a living support, how awesome is that? Is like decentralizing game production
• Where can I reach you?
  • Feel free to reach us in any of our social profiles, but we recommend for a faster and dynamic support that you reach us in the support channel of our Discord server.

During this sale we will make sure that all your other questions will be answered, so don't hesitate to get in touch with us.
