Funding
Wei is funding this game out of his own pocket and needs some more funding to help.
Most of the team members have years of experience in the game industry but are working for little to no pay because they believe in this project.
However, all the little payments add up to be something not easy, especially when building a fantasy game with quality art. And that's why Wei needs your help!
All of the funding are going to be used in paying art.
There are still 30% of the must-have environment arts to be done. $3,000 ($2,790 will actual go to the project after the fee for Indiegogo and Paypal) is not much, but it will allow us to improve the art and have more interesting environment.
We assure you that we do our best not to waste your money and spend the money only on where it needs to be.

Risk & challenges
Every project has risks.
In the past 6 month, we've built up a playable game with all the required gameplay system and art that are already polished. We are starting this funding campaign because we have the confidence that we will finish the game. No matter what results in the end of this campaign, we are going to finish it.
However, this campaign will make a big difference on how good this game can be. More than the funding, this campaign really means a lot to us because it brings us confidence that we are making something people like.
We hope that you will join us, together, bringing the game better quality and gaming experience.
