Should I crowdfund the completion of this?
« on: October 12, 2014, 03:18:19 PM »
I've been mulling over what needs to be done to finish AoS for a while.

Essentially a small crowdfunding campaign could more than raise the funds to really polish Adventures of Soros off at least in the sense of having the core area, game mechanics, and artwork pinned down nicely.

On the other hand I simply don't know if anyone wants to see a completed AoS enough to consider donating money to it.

Anyone got thoughts on that?

Do you know how much you need and would you have an estimated project finish date if you have the money?

Basically there's one cost item, which is "hire an artist to do the thing", though if I could pay myself for a few days of work to get it polished that would help too.

I'd guess minimum £200 or thereabouts to hire an OK student-quality artist.

If I had the artwork in hand I could have the basic game wrapped up by the end of January, though it would be more dependent on the artist's schedule than my own.

With those two pieces of info, you're on to a winner.
