KICKSTARTER: 100% FUNDED! 11 Days to Reach Stretch Goals!

Jan 20, 2023

IT'S OFFICIAL, FATEFUL FRIENDS!

As of midday yesterday, thanks to our 550 backers, we have reached our Kickstarter's main fundraising goal! The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe) has been fully funded, and we have 11 days to go to reach our stretch goals! Which are:

SIDE STORIES (*30K USD / 40K CAD): At this stretch goal, we'll release short stories in-between our route releases that follow the other characters, so that there will always be a little content for everyone! The side stories will consist of backstory content, interpersonal stories between the love interests, romantic/platonic content with the MC, and anything else we might want to share that won't be fully fleshed out in the routes themselves!
CUSTOM MCs (*35K USD / 47K CAD): MC will receive a sprite that players will be allowed to customize, influencing eye colour, hair colour, skin tone, facial features, and hairstyle. This will also impact Daonna's sprite, as well as both of their CGs, given MC and Daonna are identical.
EXPANDED VOICE ACTING (*40K USD / 53K CAD): If you enjoyed our voice acting samples, this stretch goal will allow us to increase our voice acting budget from limited to partial! That means there will be more fully voiced scenes for important narrative moments throughout our game!
MORE SPRITE OUTFITS (*50K USD / 67k CAD): Exactly what it sounds like. We'll give all the ROs and select side characters alternative sprite outfits, or variations on their existing outfits.
MINI GAMES (*60K USD / 80K CAD): Mini Games will allow players to explore the world of NDM by simulating Daonna's daily druidic duties. This will in turn give your MC unique "traits" that open up new pathways in the routes. Example: A high "fairyfolk handling" skill will make your MC more personable to the aes sídhe in the routes.
SWITCH PORT (*70K USD / 94K CAD): Exactly what it sounds like. When our game is 100% complete, we will work to port the full game to the Switch! (Routes will be available for PC/Mac before this, and all of our supporters at the Soldier's Essentials tier and higher will receive a copy of the game for the Switch, as well as a PC/Mac copy, if this goal is reached.)

*Noteworthy: All our Kickstarter graphics were created and listed in USD for the convenience of our audience, which we determined to be primarily American. However, over the course of our campaign (particularly as we were unlocking the flirty sprites) we realized that the exchange rate was fluctuating near daily between USD and CAD, and to a significant degree, so it became difficult to determine when our goals were being reached. (Incidentally, this is also why our full campaign funding is not exactly 25K USD, as listed in our graphic. We have the funding we need, it's just not worth 25K USD anymore. Thanks, Canada.) So, because of this constant fluctuation, we will consider a stretch goal reached if we hit either the USD or CAD amount. Ergo, if we hit 40K CAD in three days, but that 40K CAD is not quite worth 30K USD, we will have still reached that goal regardless.

Thank you all once again from the bottom of our hearts. Can you help us reach some of our stretch goals before the campaign period ends? Either way, we're so excited to share our full project with you all!

Check out our Kickstarter!

Slán go fóill! (Bye for now!)

Demo Test

- it's fun minus the in your face cascade of cliffhangers - lexicon and translations helpful, although not sure how to correctly pronounce words - menu quite polished - story sort of engaging, but since it doesn't resolve it's like being led around by the nose - character art could use a touch-up, maybe animations and more poses - backgrounds could be more fleshed out - interactive words for lexicon were not always highlighted correctly in later parts - disconnects in writing style, where some wordi...

KICKSTARTER: 97% FUNDED + DEMO UPDATE

Jan 18, 2023

Evening, fateful friends!

If you haven't been following us on social media, you might not know that our Kickstarter received a significant funding boost today thanks to our new flood of Queen's Favour supporters! Our campaign is now 97% of its way to being funded (we just need $1,034 CAD / $767 USD), and we still have 13 days left in our campaign to reach that goal! If we're fortunate, we might be able to meet some of our stretch goals as well - which includes side stories, MC sprite customization, expanded voice acting, additional sprite outfits for the ROs, mini games, and a Switch port!

Speaking of voice acting... We come bearing a surprise! Over the first two weeks of our Kickstarter, we revealed voice acting samples for our main cast, as well as samples of the voiced Gaeilge pronunciation tool. So, to celebrate the huge milestone in our Kickstarter campaign, we've decided to add those voice acting samples (and a few of new sprite expressions 😉) to the demo! All you have to do is update the game. This is likely to be our last update to the free demo, unless problems are encountered. After all, if all goes well...

We'll be gearing up to get that full game made very, very soon.

Thank you all so much for supporting us! ❤️

KICKSTARTER: NOW OUT!

Jan 1, 2023

The Good People: Na Daoine Maithe is officially live on Kickstarter!

Happy New Year, Fateful Friends! We bring momentous tidings: Our Kickstarter campaign is now live! If you enjoyed playing our demo and want to see our full game get made, we would HIGHLY encourage you to check out our Kickstarter and consider donating and/or sharing us with others! If we get funded, here's what you can expect to see from our full game:

Six Character Routes: There will be six character routes in total, each one exploring the individual stories of our diverse cast of Love Interests (LIs)! There are two men, two women, and two non-binary folk to choose from. Half of our cast is aspec, as well!
Secret Story Route: If you play through all six character routes, you'll unlock the secret story route! It's designed to tie up the broader narrative aspects of the game, and you can choose which character route is "canon" to your play through!
Flexible MC: Choose your preferred name and pronouns (including neo pronouns) and romance whomever you please! (We even have a stretch goal to customize MC's sprite appearance, too!)
Platonic Options: Not into romance, or don't want to romance them all? Not to worry! All routes can be played platonically.
Multiple Endings: Each route has two endings based on the health of your relationship with the LI, regardless of whether it's romantic or platonic.
English-Gaeilge Lexicon: Our game features translatable Gaeilge (Irish) words and phrases, and in the full game, translations will be voiced for ease of pronunciation!
Voice Acting: The main cast will have limited voice acting in the full game. Check our Kickstarter page periodically for voice actor reveals and samples!
Other Features (Stretch Goals): Side stories in-between route releases, MC customization, expanded voice acting, more sprite outfits, mini games, and a Switch port.

Our Kickstarter page contains a ton more detail - including a breakdown of the rewards you could receive for donating to us, and a timeline for the full game's release - so be sure to click the link below!

Absolutely fantastic game, incredibly excited to see it released in full!

I was hoping to leave a review, but it looks like that's not available yet. Regardless, I wanted to applaud you on how wonderful the game is so far! The character art is gorgeous and I'm absolutely enraptured by the story line. Every time I thought I had made up my mind on which route I'd play first, I found myself swayed by another fantastic option! Additionally, as a nonbinary person, I greatly appreciate that you gave the option to choose pronouns and made they/them available. I personally ascribe gend...
