Fall of Civilization
Fall of Civilization A post-apocalyptic strategy/simulator game.
You play as a survivor of the end of the world, controlling a faction of people you choose how you live in the new world and what the rules are. Build up your economy and upgrade your base to draw in more survivors to your community, but beware the stronger you get the more likely other factions will start looking at you. The choices you make of who you decide to be in this new world determine how the world and its people will treat you.

...Seriously?
Sounds like he's going to make some incarnation of this game with or without funding. He may just be looking to off-set the expenses. That being said I think a lot is being promised in the base game.
In my time I have worked on many games, this one being most prominent:

2: Yeah? You clearly have no idea how games are made or how long they take to make, especially with ONE person doing it all, so don't judge or question me when I say it will take that long, because if I say it any earlier I wont feel like its polished enough.
3: This will be the main focus point of my work, so its not going to be put on the bench during education
4: Thank you. I am promising as much as i can and trying to do as much as i can.
5: Yes i know, sorry about that, its been updated since but please read info too
6: Thank you I have actually got in contact with Uni and lecturers seem okay with it
By all means dream big, try to make it happen, this is a school project and is meant to be a learning experience for you, but the idea that other people will lose money due to your inexperience and inaccurate expectations is kinda fucked up. I know that fault falls on whoever decides to back this, but generally I don't think this was a good idea.
That said, concepts look cool, best of luck with your project.
Its 3D and isometric, pretty easy to work out if you read the info and see the pictures.
New page info, new video and AI graphs!

but good luck with the project.
And that attitude is why you will fail.
Agreed.
I'm pretty sure Fuiosg was balking at how short your development time was, not how long it is.
Furthermore I apologies for any wrongful attitudes I have taken.
If you have anymore questions feel free to ask.
The 3D models I need for the game aren't cheap. I could have a few boxes instead but wheres the fun in that.

Im not using unity assets, im hiring 3D artists to make my assets.
My 3D modelling experience is irrelevant cause im hiring others to do it and I have good 3D engine experience.
Your well within your rights to give your opinion about my project, but if you dont like it please stop commenting on here or openly slandering it.
It's people's choice to fund or not, no real need to dump all over the project.

That potato salad was more economically feasible though.
People are supposed to point out flaws in kickstarters, kickstarter does not filter those things.
There are always just going to be some people that are negative for the sake of it,
Im all up for hearing feedback to change and better the campaign, but when its just negative with no help then whats the point?
If you have any requests on videos please let me know!

Obviously, you know where your attitude has gone sour in this thread - and I want to avoid that, I'm not trying to be mean. Consider how much collective experience this forum has, though, and try not to take what we say as an insult.
Your KS seems to only have a rough plan and some concept work, which bigger projects have failed meeting their goals with the same level of work to show and at a better quality.
Considering that you are a student, I am also going to question the credibility of your experience and how you would manage a project's scope while delivering a high quality level - we've all been over ambitious students at one point or another. The "many" games you've worked on don't seem to actually be a shipped title - they seem to be student projects? And that's fine - but there is a difference between projection experience and making a test level with your friends.
We (the game dev community) have seen tons of projects exactly like this come and go - since the modding days, this looks like a pretty common scenario. An idea from a designer or coder with a batch of concept art. An idea that sounds great and goes nowhere because there is no incentive. An overly ambitious project by a team with little to no experience. How is this project any more feasible than the thousands I've seen exactly like it that have failed miserably?
I've also seen a ton of projects come to me and my friends wanting art help for very little payment - are you expecting that the 1500~ you're asking for would fund the art for your project? For top of the line stuff, that will buy you about half a character - I can't imagine that it would fund an entire UI, tile set, characters, etc... Have you already sourced artists that would accept that level of payment?
Is the success based on your school project, or is it based on making a good game? There's a big difference.
(Also, looks like your link above is throwing up a 404 for me.)
This one should work:

Yeah I understand full well where I should have said different things but I believe in looking forward so it doesn't happen again.
And don't get me wrong, I respect your opinions, since I was told to put more in-game stuff on the page I have been spending a lot of hours each day sorting things out that I can show people to prove its credibility.
Before this campaign started I must have spoken to a dozen 3D and 2D (obviously) artists about pricing and such.
Thats where I drew my goals from, the £1000 will get me one survivor character model and a base model.
That is the absolute minimum that I really need for the game.
Ofcourse I would like more funding to fill the game with different types of unit models, have base progressing models and so forth, but thats being realistically not going to happen.
I want you to understand this project will be happening regardless of being funded or not, I am fully committed to it, I just need some of my own models and other content in the game if I wanted to sell it properly.
Anymore questions feel free to ask, I hope i have answered to your satisfaction.
First Music Track for the game for all who is interested!

Aswell as a 3D model of a player base
but i just guess this is one of your concepts?
My question was aiming at your 3d quality goal, which for 1000 bucks sounds to be very very low. Considering a current gen asset easily costs 10 times as much.
Anyway this is the 3D artist I have been speaking to in regards to my character model, he sent me this an example for his level of work.
Thats what im going for.
I am fully aware of the prices and qualities I am dealing with as I have spoke to many artists before starting the campaign.
Thank you
also i think that asset is worth more than 1k, not sure who you asked but i think they highly underestimated the work from start to finish. Even with the "lack" of texture, this is more than 3-4 days of work, when you include feedbackrounds, iteration, integration and so on.<
Please understand I have done my research.
Also put up a survey so you can tell me what features you really want to see in the coming updates.
This really applies to people that arent fully sure if they want to pledge yet but anyone interested please take a minute to fill it out!

Please take a moment to help me out, whether its a donation (big or small) or sharing this
New In game art and screenshots!

Thanks to everyone that helped me hit 100%
But I still have 28 hours left and I dont intend to quit yet.
Im making a new environment as a final showcase for you guys,
Here is a sneak peek
Be sure to give one final look at the campaign and a share to your friends.
This is the last big update I will be making, a small city environment.

Are you only making one playable level?
Are you doing most of the art yourself?
if not, Now i'm curious what the other artist are charging for their art?
Good luck bud.
Im making multiple environment levels,
Im not doing the art myself, hence the funding
Even though the campaign is now over, if yourself or someone you know would like to still invest in the project/ get the benefits of the reward deals and become a backer then please contact me directly and we can work this out!
Things like free soundtracks and exclusive T-shirts will be alot rarer for people purchasing the game in May
