Coming Soon to Kickstarter First
ASTROBOTANICA has been in development for one and a half years, from the initial concept phase, all the way to a pre-alpha prototype which will be shared with Kickstarter backers if the campaign is funded. With the core gameplay firmly in place, the team at Space Goblin consider this crowdfunding effort their logical next step. — A chance to see if the core gameplay loop measures up to the expectations of survival game enthusiasts, and ensure the game delivers to its maximum potential. For a small indie studio, self-publishing their first game and asking for community support can help offset some of the development costs, and nurture open, two way communication with gamers during the entire development cycle.
If funded, proceeds from Kickstarter are planned to help:
- Shape and expand content based on player feedback
- Accelerate the development timeline while maintaining the high level of quality seen thus far
- Avoid rushing by providing the team with time and resources to balance and refine gameplay
- Foster a close relationship with backers, ensuring their feedback shapes ASTROBOTANICA’s look and feel
“This campaign is foremost about collaboration. We want our backers to have a say in how the game evolves, and we’re excited to give them access to a pre-alpha build before anyone else so they can help care and cultivate ASTROBOTANICA alongside us.” Said Arek Woźniak, Game Director. “We hope this will bear fruit for all. The community’s voice is our key guide in further development of the game. We can’t wait to see first comments and discussions through the Kickstarter page, which should be ready to launch in just a few weeks.”
A Unique Take on Survival and First Person Adventure
