Assuming no mega contributors, you'd need 200 people contributing! That's a lot.

I suggest adding a few mid-level tiers. A $100 tier and a $250 tier, for instance, would be a good draw to those with moderate amounts of money but not piles of it. As for what the rewards might be... Well, custom art by the projects artists would be good, or a custom short story of up to x words, or maybe something physical. I dunno. But something between $25 and $800 would probably get a few hits.

The funding tiers are similar to a lot of other fundraiser projects, the big tiers really aren't about getting value for your money but being able to support a project you're really passionate about. For example, the double fine kickstarter offered a $100 tier that offered a poster, but $250 to have that poster autographed.

And clearly it worked, we already received an $800 donation. We've received 40% of funding in three days, and I'm confident we're going to be a successful project. We've already received enough money to make the game in a playable state, but we need 5k to release the game at a level with which we'd be happy at.

EDIT - I'm going to have some discussions with the artist and see if we can come up with a new physical reward tier.

Edit 2 - Yep. We're in the process of updating the campaign now. Thanks for the suggestion

Edit 3 - New tiers are live!

Thanks leonides! It means a lot to us


Edit - New character art released to celebrate going over 50% of our goal IN ONLY THREE DAYS! http://dkdevil.deviantart.com/art/Ge...erek-354082443 If we continue this, not only will we be able to achieve our funding goal, but we'll able to make the routes 2x bigger through all the stretch goals!

We've broken three thousand, and I know for a fact a lot of those backers come from process productions. So thanks for being awesome. You guys really are.

We just released the third character preview too: http://dkdevil.deviantart.com/art/Ge...-Ben-354261538

And it's also visible on the campaign page too. We're also in the midst of working on the 7th character at the moment, and it's going to be pretty awesome, and be as long as two regular routes. If we go over budget with this fundraiser, we'll focus on rewarding the backers and making the 7th route even bigger.

Finally we're relevant, we posted the first transformation sequence to e-hentai

In sketch form. But still, we're just trying to get the word out as much as we can.

Well I may not be able to donate but I have got about 5 of my friends interested in this and few said they might watch this.and donate whence can.

Congratulations on getting completely funded and making some of your stretch goals. I did go in funding at the $25 level, though I am a little concerned that all we've seen has been concept art and sketches and positively no screen shots of any kind. Have you done any work on the actual game and engine? Or is that all coming?

No backgrounds are finished yet, so we can't really post any screenshots. But we've done over 100 sketches that will be updated for the final game. And we did have most of the script done, but we're now upgrading it for all the stretch goals.

Engine work is all done, we're just making it in Ren'Py.

Good grief, that's pretty amazing you got funded so much, so quick. I'm pretty broke, sadly, but I passed the link along to some folks who wight not know of it. Do you have any more stretch goals to shoot for?
