Save "Knight Terrors"
I'm Sam, from FreakZone Games. I made Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures, Angry Video Game Nerd II: ASSimilation, Jump'n'Shoot Attack, MANOS: The Hands of Fate and more! I've been pretty successful, but due to some recent unexpected expenditures, I need your help to make my self-published side project: KNIGHT TERRORS.
Knight Terrors is a horror-themed beat-em-up runner. It would be a free game on iOS and Android platforms which would hopefully be bought to PC for around $2. It will be an extremely fun and rewarding game which can be designed quickly. However, as with any game, I want to make sure it's great, and to do so takes a little more than a couple of days of a self-imposed "game jam".
How KNIGHT TERRORS plays
Knight Terrors' engine procedurally generates an infinite amount of beat-em-up stages full of ghouls and demons for you, as a mysterious knight, to cut down with your sword! With each level you complete, more monsters are added, and the threat grows and grows. A skilled player will get through hundreds of levels and rack up millions of points enabling them to climb to the top of the leaderboards.
Why does this need funding?
I am getting married next year and just moved into a house with my awesome fiancée. I'm in a bit of a situation, though. Due to the cost of moving house, planning a wedding and more, I've found myself rather low on funds. I'm also still recouping my losses from a former project, which, due to set-backs out of my control, will not break even until some time towards the beginning of the new year. Even then it'll be a few more months until I start seeing decent profit again and things are starting to look a bit tough. I have two options: Put FreakZone Games on hold completely, sell a bunch of my equipment and get full time work to pay the bills until my losses are fully recouped, or go into debt in order to continue working on my current small project: Knight Terrors.
Why GoFundMe?
As you can probably see from the video, the game is currently in very early stages. I believe I can have it finished in a matter of weeks due to the simple idea, but you're just seeing a proof of concept right now. By funding this, you're helping me to not go into debt whilst I get this finished, as opposed to investing in the product itself as you would in a Kickstarter. Also, Knight Terrors is a 'squishy' project - it can be made bigger or smaller, more complex or simpler, depending on how funding goes. If we overshoot the goal, the game can be made longer and more in-depth, give it more graphical detail etc., but if we undershoot, I can continue focusing on the simple, arcade-y nature of the game.
Thank you
Thank you for even reading this far. It's killing me to ask for help, but those who do help will be granted early access to the game and I'd be more than happy to follow you on Twitter, Tumblr etc.
