CONSCRIPT News

CONSCRIPT IS 100% FUNDED!

WE DID IT!

First and foremost, I’d like to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. This has been such a hard fought battle and the amount of support you have all shown me really has blown away.

Of course, this could not have been done without each and every one of you! Not only through your donations, but your willingness to spread the word and create noise about my project. In the span of a month, we have created such a dedicated community around the game.

The moment I launched the demo and Kickstarter campaign was very nerve wracking. After all, this is something I've spent every day for the past 3.5 years working on. What if it wasn't actually that good? What if some kind of game breaking bug got past testers? What if the campaign failed? These are all questions I freaked out over. But yet, here we are - fully funded with 5 days to go. It's a really crazy feeling, especially as a solo developer.

This is not the end of the war however... we can still push the enemy even further as we shoot for Conscript stretch goals!! Let's give them a lesson they will never forget!!



We have already smashed past the first stretch goal: the infinite rocket launcher. Fans of classic Resident Evil will be familiar with this weapon. Although, I suppose the model that will be in Conscript is actually a grenade launcher - as traditional bazookas had not been invented during the First World War!

The next stretch goal is 2 extra difficulty modes: Easy & Nightmare.



Easy mode:

More resources and easier enemies will be present. For those who just want to enjoy the atmosphere and story of Conscript without too much stress.

Nightmare mode:

Aggressive enemies that pack more punch, fewer resources and saves along with some extra brutal surprises. Only for the most seasoned survival horror fans and Conscript veterans.



As of this post, there are only 3 days remaining. So let's keep this momentum going! Keep spreading the word!!

Some quick updates!

About the Conscript demo

On June 16th I released the Conscript demo out into the world as part of the Steam Summer Game Festival. I was nervous to here what people thought of my project. As a solo developer, it is always easy to undervalue your own work, so to hear how much you all enjoyed it gave me a lot of confidence and pride in my game! It was consistently mentioned as one of the best demos of the entire festival which was mind blowing for me to hear. Thank you all for playing the game and spreading the word about it.

This demo was intended to be a Kickstarter exclusive, so it will be removed from Steam once the Kickstarter campaign finishes. So make sure to play and share it before then!

How many of you were able to find the hidden ending? Or gain entrance to the blockhouses? There are a lot of secrets hidden in the demo that you may have missed on your first playthrough.

One week left!

As of this announcement, the Conscript Kickstarter has 6 days left at 75% funded. In order to reach the goal in time, we will have to push extra hard for this remaining week! If you know a fan of classic survival horror or historically based games, make sure to spread the word around.

New reward tier available

Until Monday, there will be a new Kickstarter reward tier available: the Sergent Chef (Chief Sergeant). This exclusive tier is for $50 AUD backers (approx. 35 USD, 30 EURO). This is for those people who would like an extra discounted copy of Conscript to share with a friend at a more affordable tier. This won’t be available for long!

Discord invitation!

I'd love to invite you all to the Conscript discord. We are starting to gather a really dedicated community of soldiers in the trenches! Moving on further into development and past the Kickstarter, this is where I'll be most active. I am always looking for community feedback, too.

Thanks everyone! Talk to you soon.

I need your help, soldier!

Hey everyone! First, just wanted to say how great it was to see you all enjoy the CONSCRIPT demo over the Steam Summer Game Festival. A few of you have been wondering if I am going to keep the demo up, and the answer is yes! I am currently working on a patch that contains bug fixes, optimizations and even some new content.

A reminder that the CONSCRIPT Kickstarter is live, and has been running for 7 days now. We have just hit 20% funded, but unfortunately this pace is not going to be enough to reach the goal in time. It may seem like there's time, but generally there are massive lulls in the middle weeks of a campaign, so we can't get complacent. The purpose of the Kickstarter campaign is so I can finish the game within the next year, without delays.

Unfortunately, It's going to be real hard for me to finish the game before the target release of Q2 2021 without extra funding, as this is a completely solo developed project.

Remember to share the word about the Conscript Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/562623591/conscript-ww1-survival-horror

If you enjoyed the demo, consider backing! Rewards for higher tiers include Conscript closed beta access (in January), a Conscript instruction manual, or your name on an in-game military memorial! Extra high tier backers will have the chance to design their own rooms, puzzles or weapons in the game!

We also have a growing Conscript Discord community, you can join here: http://discord.com/invite/hVcAgBP
Hope to see you there, private!

Thank you!
