Cosmic Star Heroine Kickstarter Progress Report
If you’ve been a reader of our site for any period of time, you probably know that we’re planning on doing a kickstarter this month for our next RPG, Cosmic Star Heroine. The kickstarter goal will last for 30 days, have a goal of $100k, and you’ll be able to get a copy of the game for PC/Mac or PS4/Vita for $10 along with plenty of other fun rewards at higher tiers. We’re still working on the kickstarter page & some of the logistics (for example, making sure we’re all set up with Amazon to receive payments) but hoping to have everything finished in a week or two. After that, we’ll need to get the project approved by kickstarter which should only take a few days (according to the site) and then soon after that, it’s kickstarter time!
We might do a Wii U release after the initial launch but no plans on adding a Wii U stretch goal. Between PC, Mac, PS4, and Vita at launch, we’ve got enough work on our plate without adding additional platforms. Plus, we already said that the game would come out on the PSN first when it comes to consoles.
Just out of curiosity will there by chance be a Wii U stretch goal? I am not getting a PS4 for at least a year from Christmas, while I am getting a Wii U for Christmas. I would like to continue to support your games, but I am only doing Wii U kickstarters for now, because there are plenty of them.
Oh, man, I’m even holding back my pledge on WayForward’s Kickstarter in order to contribute more with yours! Can’t wait to play Cosmic Star Heroine 🙂
Yeah. That Watson game looked good. Hopefully they figure out a way to still get it made.
Interesting that Elementary, My Dear Holmes! got suspended. I hope that all the details regarding it and the Gridiron funding will eventually come to light, and I hope that Sam hasn’t done anything shady. The game looked really good and I hope it’ll eventually get made.
