Greetings Fractured Team!
Congratulations on your successful Kickstarter! I'm looking forward to see your ideas come to life over the next few years!
One of the more complicated subjects that I feel is worth a discussion here is development and the cost thereof. The Kickstarter is looking to pull in about €110,000~. While this is a great start to assist with development costs, this certainly cannot represent the entirety of your funding.
It was relieving to see a better understanding and more realistic time line for game development being shown as part of the road map. By your own estimations, development will likely go at least as deep 2021 and even that might be a bit optimistic. Nonetheless, it's a much better estimate than most Kickstarted games, which was a big onus for my own backing.
With this in mind though, what's the plan to fund development? €110,000 is enough to pay for two developers for a year without a dedicated office/studio. The salary/taxes/etc. for 7 individual professionals, even on a modest income, will likely be looking at expenses between €1,000,000 and €2,000,000 over the planned development cycle. This does not account for other business expenses such as licenses or equipment or a location even.
With this in mind, what is the longer term plan to secure funding for the development of this game?
