Thinking today about Future Fragments, which is doing a 24 hour sale on Steam right before Silksong drops. Dev HentaiWriter noted the game has $200k put in from team members, with $80k in debt acquired

The game is a fantastic Metroidvania with high quality VA and music work. So, why no coverage?

Future Fragments platforming gameplay. The adult game features Metroidvania gameplay

For anyone new here; we're a team of 3 core people (one programmer, one artist, one writer/level designer, all co-game designers), as well as a musician and an audio engineer doing work as-needed.
We've put well over $200,000 of our own money into this game's content, and are currently facing down about $80,000 in debt as a result of it (taxes hit pretty hard, as does cost of living!)
So pretty much all of you supporting us is what allows us to continue to make and finish off the last parts of a game this large and content-dense, despite being such a small-sized team.

My work on Rift of the NecroDancer (a big fat thread)

1. Cadence
Her design shaped the style of the entire game. I aimed for something slightly exaggerated and easy to colour, drawing inspiration from Ace Attorney and Rhythm Heaven.
