While the funding we'll receive from the Kickstarter will go towards developing the remainder of the game, one of the things we had to consider was determining which assets would need to be reused from Inciting Incident—such as music tracks, backgrounds, etc. I had to contact some of the former FSS members to confirm how they felt about payment if we were to use their work again.
The other matter we had to resolve involved the voice acting for Inciting Incident. The two options we had were:
1) include voice acting for Inciting Incident as a part of the funding goal.
2) list it as a stretch goal.
If we were to do the latter, there’s a possibility we won’t reach the stretch goal, meaning voice acting would have to be dropped entirely even if the game were to be fully funded. Considering that a lot of work has already been done, we decided to forgo that option and go with the first. As for the voice acting for the “routes”, since they’re still in development, it’s safe to list it as a stretch goal.
Jacob, our casting director, is currently sorting out an estimate for the voice acting for Inciting Incident. As for the Fallen Snow Studios team, I already have an amount in mind that we’ll likely aim for, but it might change depending on how much the voice acting will be.
Below is a tentative list of the rewards and stretch goals we have in mind. If you have a suggestion for a reward you’d like to receive from the campaign, feel free to let us know and we’ll consider adding it!
