Thunder Lotus Games, best known for creating Jotun, went on Kickstarter yesterday to seek funding for their next game procedurally generated metroidvania style title Sundered.
They made quick work of their CA$25,000 target and have massed over CA$35,000 as of writing. It's combination of beautiful hand-drawn art, and gameplay that mixes a metroidvania experience with that of a roguelike, should appeal to a wide audience.
Thunder Lotus Games are not seeking to fund the entire development via Kickstarter instead their main purpose for launching the campaign is to gain feedback as they'll invite all backers pledging more than CA$15 into the beta. They are specifically looking for feedback on the following:
- Overall balancing and pacing
- Special nodes for the Skill Tree
- Different ideas for Perks
- What exactly defines the core gameplay experience and how we can improve it
The campaign will persist for another month, and Sundered is targeted for release in July.
