Short Summary
Hey guys, my name is Bobby and I'm an aspiring game developer from Toronto Canada. I own a small business called Highcastle Studios. I'm very passionate about creating games and this is my shot at making my dreams come true. My project "Point Perfect" is already making a splash on Steams Greenlight voting platform. Point Perfect is sort of a casual game for the hardcore gamer. In this whimsical world, the mouse cursor is your ship. Navigate it through all sorts of retro arcade perils. Draw boxes around enemies for the mothership to shoot down. Easy to learn, but hard to master. Point Perfect's gameplay is dynamic in the sense that every game you play is different. Randomly generated levels and bosses each time you play. My video showcases an early build of the game. Expect lots of unlockables, extras, and easter eggs in final version.
What We Need & What You Get
Ok, so making an indie game costs a lot of money and time. I've set a goal of $10,000 for my project. The money will go towards all of the sound effects and music that needs to be purchased for ownership. There has also been a lot of hidden costs on software and marketing and there will only be more of it. And finally, there is some money needed for distribution when the game is finished (e-commerce etc.)
So what do you get? Well, how about becoming a hidden boss character in my published game! Yes you heard right, one lucky sponsor will be chosen at random to make the first ever civilian appearance in all its 8 bit glory. The winner will get to help design their boss and the crazier the better! There are a few other percs as well check them out.
The Impact
The road to get to this stage of development has been very rewarding but also very stressful. Your contributions will help so much with all of the hidden costs, but more importantly will help inspire me to make the best game I can for you guys. Its a good feeling to know that there are others who share your vision. I think my game offers something unique for the casual gamer. It really does have to be played to believe it. With your donation, I promise to create the best product I can.
Other Ways You Can Help
There are some other ways that you guys can help. If you have a steam account, please go to Community>greenlight> search for Point Perfect and vote on it. If you like my idea but you have no money to donate, then tell some friends about it and spread the word. Lastly, keep your eyes and ears open for when I release the game in 2013 and buy it if you like it! Thanks so much guys -Bobby
