Don't know if I'm late to the game, but it's a shame Indiegogo got rid of flexible funding campaigns. It really set it apart from most of its competitors.
That being said, we're confident we'll meet our goal. The Romantic Series is coming!

As humans, there are times we slip up. Mistakes are 100% normal - and that, sadly, can translate to all the other hats we wear: as an entrepreneur, as a leader, as a creative, as anything... it's up to us on what we do with this knowledge. Will the mistakes break us, remake us, and/or guide us?

Amazing how plans change and how that immediately translates to a ridiculous amount of work 😅 The ever-present curse of a creative and entrepreneur.

The 2025 Annual Release package is now in the works; however, it seems I'll have to reassess exactly what will be included in it!

Cheers!

Which came first - the chicken or the egg? On that note, what should come first - the manuscript or the pitch?
I'm slowly opening my eyes to other mediums and learning the different norms. It's definitely culture shock. But who knows - this could mean new things for the studio in the next 1-2 years.

I usually don't post these twice, but this one has been interesting! We've apparently sparked a genre/generational/console war of opinions.
So, what will it be? Ninja Gaiden or God of War?
