Our project on Kickstarter has over 1300 backers and have pledged over 26k dollars! All thanks to your love and support! We've also received many questions about the project. You'll find most of them answered in the Q&A.
- 1. Why $500,000? Did you guys mess up the numbers? It seems awfully hard to reach.
We've received your concerns regarding this matter almost from day 1. We understand that half a million is a lot to ask for, but ask any developer, 3D game development extremely funds consuming. For example, each piece of garment is a separate model and would cost us as much as the modeling of a character. And in the end, we'd like to bring you a game as flawless as it can get. It's a challenge to reach the goal, we understand it, but so is developing this game. But we're facing the challenges head-on and will not ever back down.
- 2. Why 3D? I want a 2D game!
We understand that the previous game, Mirror, was loved by you all with its unique 2D art style, we'd like to thank you all for the love and support over the years.
As an indie developer, it's important to challenge ourselves on a regular basis and break out of our comfort zone. And the impact and expressive of a good 3D game showed us more possibilities. We'd like to show our audience the worlds we imagine as immersive and impactful as they can get, like how blown away we were when we play Detroit: Become Human for the first time. We hope that this would let you feel like the characters and get in touch with the beauty in our worlds.

- 4. Will this be only a 3D remake of the previous game or there will be new characters?
No, this is not a remake. There are new characters in the game as well as characters from the previous game since you all love them so much. But the stories will be utterly different. They will be connected with the stories in the previous game, but the storyline will either be a prequel, sequel, or gaiden.
- 5. Wechat Pay/AliPay, please!
We apologize for the inconvenience. Since Kickstarter do not support those payment method mentioned above and is not likely to add them to the list any time soon, it's most likely that there's no way for us to add other payment methods without breaking any rules or laws. Sorry!
