The Kickstarter campaign for The Floating World (which was launched April 25th and ends May 25th) has been funded one fifth of the way towards our initial $5,000 goal within five days of being launched. While it may not be on par with massive studios that make hundreds of thousands for their campaigns, we're extremely proud of making this amount of money as a completely unknown indie developer with little to no media exposure.
Things are looking good for our goal right now, but we implore you to pledge even $15 to the project, or share it with your friends and family if you can't afford to pledge and would still like to help out. We can't afford to pay for advertisement, so we have to rely on growing our community solely by word-of-mouth.
If you would like to pledge to the project, please click here to visit our Kickstarter page!
We have a lot of gameplay prototype videos to show off, ranging from menus, to movement, to conversation, and mini-games. We hope you enjoy!
