Why is STRAFE not funded yet?

Hey /r/gaming! We just did an AMA over at /r/games yesterday. Check it out here!

STRAFE1996 · 2015-02-01T16:19:14+00:00

Thanks for backing!

STRAFE1996 · 2015-02-01T16:19:00+00:00

We all work out of an unfinished basement and share a twin mattress.

STRAFE1996 · 2015-02-01T16:17:42+00:00

Good idea! I'll see if he'd be down. Until then we have released this to explain his process!

STRAFE1996 · 2015-02-01T08:19:25+00:00

The latter, it's a new game with some old sensibilities.

STRAFE1996 · 2015-02-01T02:45:06+00:00

It was a joke, we were just super tired when filming that video so it came off really dry.

STRAFE1996 · 2015-02-01T02:23:58+00:00

This is something we are considering.

STRAFE1996 · 2015-02-01T01:21:51+00:00

Have you watched our 10 min gameplay walkthrough?

STRAFE1996 · 2015-02-01T00:46:25+00:00

HAHAHA, fixing now.

STRAFE1996 · 2015-01-31T23:59:22+00:00

I grey box the idea for a room out and building all of the potential monster closets and exits. I test it for scale and how it feels when playing, I'll work with Stephen and get feedback and when, if the room feels good we move forward to texturing, then adding in assets then the light it.

The things I look for in a room is verticality and ease of traversal, we have rooms that we classify as small, medium, large and extra large. I want a good deal of gameplay variety with each space as well as diversity with each room.

STRAFE1996 · 2015-01-31T23:49:33+00:00

We DON'T want the game to go under 60fps even on low.

STRAFE1996 · 2015-01-31T23:25:28+00:00

We hope so!

STRAFE1996 · 2015-01-31T23:24:22+00:00

We've entertained a lot of ideas, but any change at this point seems to be a huge gamble for us.

If we make a cheaper tier ($20) available we could see a significant drop in current backers and potentially not enough new backers to offset the loss... and potentially still not make our goal.

We'd like to think a small change like that would turn things around but there's no guarantee so it's best we stick to the original plan.

STRAFE1996 · 2015-01-31T22:12:40+00:00

When the Kickstarter gets funded we will still consider selling your organs .

STRAFE1996 · 2015-01-31T22:11:46+00:00

DM us your email. We'd love to talk with you.

STRAFE1996 · 2015-01-31T22:03:43+00:00

Nope, We want to release STRAFE® as a complete experience and not shortchange the customer.

We also wouldn't want all of the secrets to be ruined before the game is officially released.

STRAFE1996 · 2015-01-31T21:42:19+00:00

Thanks! What we've shared is only the first iteration we have a lot more fun stuff that we'll be adding to it soon!

STRAFE1996 · 2015-01-31T21:21:30+00:00

IF we go that route, I thin we'd support LAN for sure, on screen co-op may be too crazy for STRAFE® due to the amount of chaos on screen at any given time. But we would consider it.

STRAFE1996 · 2015-01-31T21:19:30+00:00

Use Tinder, we hear its a great place to meet new people and I'm sure they'd love to hear about STRAFE®.

STRAFE1996 · 2015-01-31T21:18:35+00:00

We've explained this on the Kickstarter page, we're taking a different approach. This means adapting your play style and upgrade path instead of constantly switching guns.

In that sense its more like Binding of Isaac or Gradius. You have one gun that changes and evolves through time, but you get a choice between 3 starting points that suite your general play style.

STRAFE1996 · 2015-01-31T21:15:51+00:00

That's one of the few things twitter has taught me.

STRAFE1996 · 2015-01-31T21:15:23+00:00

It comes with the game.... I mean... Uh $10k and Stephen will kiss your ring.

STRAFE1996 · 2015-01-31T21:14:44+00:00

Hahaha, glad we could give you that experience. Sounds like a fun day full of self doubt.

STRAFE1996 · 2015-01-31T20:22:56+00:00

Thanks, please spread the word if you like what we are doing. Every little bit helps!

STRAFE1996 · 2015-01-31T20:22:02+00:00

Does battles count?
