As we head into the final half of our campaign, we’ve added some great new Rewards and Add Ons! All signed by Jane Jensen and some guy named Robert. More additions to come! Help us reach our goal and make Son of SEQUEL a reality!
Hello everyone! We wanted to give you a quick update with some pretty exciting news. First off, we wanted to thank you for all the feedback we got on the backer only release build of SpaceVenture. We learned a whole lot about items that needed some serious work on the game. We were able to resolve the vast majority of the issues that were brought up by you all that reported issues to us.
If for some reason you didn’t get the email for that build, please await word from us on a new build. That previous build definitely had some issues and we prefer to send out a new build of the game with fixes. So again, if you didn’t get that build, please stay tuned for a new more stable build of the game to be released in the future.
After releasing the build of the game towards the end of 2022, we immediately began working on another build, but wanted to make sure we had gotten the reported issues fixed. As always, things slowed down during the holiday season. In January, we began getting ramped up to finalize the new build to send out to you all here at the beginning of 2023, however, we have something really exciting to let you know.
In February, we were contacted by Ken Williams (Co-founder of Sierra On-line/Cygnus Entertainment) about a partnership that would involve some really great possibilities for the future of SpaceVenture. As you are aware, the majority of the team is only able to work on the game part time at this point. And no one is being paid anything, due to being low on funds. We are in talks with Ken about bringing some fresh funding into the project that would involve the following:
In return, we will be splitting any income made on SpaceVenture with Cygnus Entertainment. Our agreement with Ken is that no one makes any money off of SpaceVenture until our backer rewards are shipped. Again, to be clear, our agreement will still include the fact that once the game is available on the various online stores for purchase, we will use the income for reward shipping to backers. We still have plans for making an option available to people who would like to pay their shipping ahead of time, in order to get their rewards quicker. We will provide more information on this later.
As a reminder, please do not email us your address for reward shipping. Once the game is publicly available and we are ready to start shipping items out, we will request your address information.
Please understand that no contracts have been signed yet. We are still in the process of talking and Ken’s developers are looking at the project now and we are all trying to get a feel for what will need to happen and an approximate cost/timeline for everything. Since this negotiation put a few things on hold for us, we felt like it would be good for us to let you all know the situation.
Though this agreement is not solidified yet, we are encouraged by the possibility of working with Ken and Cygnus on making sure that SpaceVenture gets the level of polish that it deserves. As always, thank you all so much for your continued patience and support.
