[/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]Why do a Kickstarter?[/h2][p][/p][p]Ascension is a project that the team has been discussing how to tackle for quite a while. How will we release it? Will it be its own game? Extra DLC? What do we include? What do we take out?
[/p][p]Drawing from our experience with Stone Story RPG, we knew that we wanted to release the game on Steam in Early Access. Our community has been invaluable in shaping the game into its best form, and Early Access gave us the funding we needed to continue working on and supporting the project.
[/p][p]Kickstarter is the same way. If we consider EA and full release to be Milestones, then the Ascension Kickstarter is another Milestone we added at the beginning. We want to give Stone Story Ascension the best chance it has to succeed and achieve what we believe it’s capable of.
[/p][p]However, that requires funding! I work with incredible artists, designers, musicians, writers, and localizers to bring our vision of Stone Story to life. The more funding we get, the more we can commit to that grander vision.
[/p][p]Producing a game like Stone Story takes a lot of time, money, and work. It’s work that we love doing, but we also have to be practical as a studio. This is why we focus on Milestones. The momentum from completing one Milestone rolls into the next, and so on. With Ascension, we’ll go from Kickstarter to Early Access to Full Release, then onto the next game to repeat the cycle.[/p][p][/p][p]This is why community support is so important. You are why this game exists and why it continues to grow. If we can ask for your help once again, we’ll be able to deliver a better experience for everyone.[/p][p][/p][p]To help the project, remember to support the Kickstarter and tell everyone you know about Stone Story![/p][p]
