Funded in just under 2 hours!
We are astounded by your support and can't thank you enough! With these first 15K € we have achieved the initial goal of the campaign, to help fund (at least partially) the amazing physical editions that our partners Tesura Games will produce and distribute.
As per usual, once we have achieved the initial goal, we have entered into the domain of the stretch goals!
Stretch goals
Making a game, and specially a 3D game, can get very expensive. As you can see, our team has got quite big (from 5 people in the first Sword of the Necromancer to 11 now). That means that we had to make some compromises and cut the scope of the project in some areas (the amount of music, scenarios, game modes, etc) in order to make it feasible.
The additional funds obtained in this campaign will be destined to fund those aspects of the game that we had to cut. Sometimes that means adding more of what we already have in the game, sometimes it's new game modes, and some others it's crazy ideas.
As you can imagine, the more complex features will be further in the stretch goals. Without further ado, we introduce you the first stretch goal and next objective in the campaign:
Additional Voice Lines
The game currently will feature full voice acting in all the CG scenes and some of the "regular" dialogues (the ones with the dialogue boxes and portraits at the sides). The rest of the dialogues would use little sentences and grunts to convey the tone of the conversation, but wouldn't be fully dubbed, as they are less important.
If we reach this stretch goal, we would use those funds to have more of those scenes fully voice acted, both in English and Japanese.
Help us make Sword of the Necromancer: Revenant better with the stretch goals!
Social Stretch Goals
If you've looked at the campaign, you've seen a paragraph speaking about "social stretch goals".
We set some goals we can achieve with your help, and when we have reached enough of them, we commit to put a new thing in the game (a new weapon, a set of costumes, etc.). That way, even people who can't afford to back the project, or can't contribute much money, can help make the project bigger!
These "social stretch goals" are focused on social media milestones, like retweeting a certain tweet, or having a certain number of likes in a YouTube video.

Featured Game
As the current stretch goal has to do with voice acting, this is a great opportunity to talk you about The Hayseed Knight, a Visual Novel made by Sandra "Maxi" Molina, or SandraMJ, who is the Voice Director for Sword of the Necromancer: Revenant (and the original Sword of the Necromancer too!) and features the voice of Abigail Turner (Koko in SOTN).
The Hayseed Knight will receive a huge update tomorrow! So check out Chapter 4 of The Hayseed Knight on Steam!
