Don't Save the Princess Kickstarter!
Added 2025-02-25 22:23:44 +0000 UTCIt's time, everyone! This long-running side project will finally be completed as I dip my toe into Kickstarter:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sierralee/dont-save-the-princess
Even if you aren't interested in backing, I have more for you, because you can play the first three worlds on Newgrounds or itch.io. Please give the demo a try, and if you use either site, rate/review the game so that more people see it.
My goal with running a KS isn't to get more money from my current supporters, of course, but to find new players who might enjoy my work. There are lots of people who won't touch Patreon but will back projects on KS, so I hope that this project can show them that I'm a responsible creator. In theory I'd love to keep building to bigger and better things, but it's best to start small.
Unfortunately, you need success on KS to get attention, so I'd be grateful if you guys supported me. >_< If you want to help out my career, please consider throwing me a buck or two. The more individual users are supporting the project, the more reputable it will look, both for making this campaign a success and for setting up future ones. Since all algorithms are sadly winner-take-all these days, I'm trying to do whatever I can to get on top of those waves instead of sinking under.
That's all for now! You'll definitely be hearing more about this over the coming weeks, hopefully good news. ^-^
EDIT: Oh, and I want to mention... feel free to comment here if you want, as usual, but I don't want to pull too much attention away from the KS page. Please comment over there if you want, so that there's some welcoming activity for new people!

While my focus has been on the KS, there are definitely other ways to help! Sorry to hear that KS won't support your payment options. One of the most direct ways anyone can support my work is by buying and reviewing the game on Steam, of course, but that's a long way off. Beyond that, the question is what interests you. We're going to put up new tiers later today that let backers influence the game, so you could choose one of those if you wanted to give a larger amount, then give through Patreon by temporarily increasing your patronage. That also works for general support. Thank you for all your support. ^-^

2025-03-20 13:40:25 +0000 UTCIs there any way to back this game outside of kickstarter? My payment options are not supported by kickstarter, but I still feel like being there to help.

2025-03-20 11:09:40 +0000 UTCi had no idea the stigma against rpg maker ran so deep, its something i think is stupid but if its that bad new engine is defo worth considering, i suppose it boils down to resources and time if you used rpg maker finding help and such would remain difficult and youve also mentioned the possibility of working to expand rpg maker, a new engine while giving u more freedom sounds like itd be much more costly than rpg maker if you think you have the resources for that then i say give it a try but if not then another rpg maker game is not something that bothers me one bit

2025-02-27 01:30:21 +0000 UTCPatreon really wants to render itch.io as a link, apparently. =/ I tried to fix it again, or you can find it here: https://sierralee.itch.io/dont-save-the-princess-demo

2025-02-26 18:07:32 +0000 UTCI'm extremely grateful for that support, but we've been carried thus far by patrons. Hopefully this will attract more attention, and after the project concludes well, more people will also trust me.

2025-02-25 23:54:11 +0000 UTCWell it’s already hit first goal so I’d say people have faith lol.

2025-02-25 23:49:06 +0000 UTCYes, so many Kickstarters have behaved badly that people are understandably reluctant. That's why I'm starting small with a digital-only campaign I'm confident I can deliver, so that hopefully I can prove myself to more people.

2025-02-25 23:17:38 +0000 UTCThe only Kickstarter I’ve backed in the past was Order of the Stick reprint drive. It was worth it even though it has yet to deliver all promised rewards. Hope you won’t repeat the mistake. I’ll review the kickstarter this weekend and see what I can contribute. Weekend starts tomorrow btw.
