What We Need:
Bad taste is a game that has been in production for over 2 years, the game was financed thus far entirely from my own private funds, and much progress has been made.
The engine has been built, the voice acting is completed, 80% of the art is finished, and the game is already past the steam greenlight process.
During this time the project has grown in size and scope, it's a more ambitious project than what we originally had intended, more enemies were added, all the cinematics are now fully animated, and more secret area's were designed.
The main issue now is turning all this additional art into spritesheets, and programming the new enemy behaviours, this is a time consuming process, and we need at least $20000.00 in additional funding to pay the artist and programmer so they can work full time on this to have it ready by the years end.
This is my first fundraising campaign, and I ask for this money to keep the game raw and raunchy, and to provide a product that isn't compromised in order to make a quick dollar.
Perks:
There are several perks available, the base perk is you can pre-order the game for $9.99 that's discounted from the $14.99 retail price the game will be sold at, plus you can play an early build (the first 5 levels), at the end of the campaign.
We also have posters, and a couple of opportunities to include you in the game as a zombie/mutant enemy, so you can get killed (or kill) Spenny.

Why our project matters:
Bad Taste is a return to form for 2D gaming, it's not meant to reinvent the wheel, but it is meant to be among the best of it's kind in the genre, that will hopefully reinvigorate not only classic 2D animation, but also the trash cinema we all love.
Bad Taste preserves and captures the raw politically incorrect spirit of exploitation films, the game has been influenced by everything from The Toxic Avenger, to more modern cult classics like Slither.
It's also unique in that the game is very Canadian focused, it stars two Canadian comedy legends (Kenny and Spenny), it takes place in Victoria, and surrounding parts of Vancouver island, and the majority of the staff is Canadian.
