![]() ![]() Their Kickstarter campaign started at over $1 million. But we’re making a game on the same level of quality and content as something like Obsidian’s and Larian’s games. The majority of Kickstarter projects are starting at a lower level. Are you worried about meeting that number? GamesBeat: It’s higher than I’ve seen for a lot of other RPGs lately. Shpilchevsky: The initial goal starts at $500,000. GamesBeat: How much money are you asking for on the Kickstarter before you start reaching stretch goals? We’ll be asking for money for additional content. Shpilchevsky: The base game might be considered funded. GamesBeat: Is the base game going to be on Kickstarter, or is that already funded? We’ll have more companions, more depth to the companions, more dungeons and wilderness to explore, … and more new quests and content by famous Pathfinder authors and RPG authors. We’d like to ask Pathfinder fans and RPG fans to support us on Kickstarter, which will let us add a lot of additional features. We can’t squeeze the entire wishlist into the budget we’re currently on. The universe is very big, with a lot of reach and depth to it. We’ll be able to ship that to our players.īut there’s a big temptation to add a lot of new features and content to the game. Once again, we’re lucky enough to have the money to complete a solid game. ![]() It’s a convention that will be held at the end of the week in Seattle. Right now we have a good-enough quality sample of gameplay that we can go to show for the first time at PaizoCon. Shpilchevsky: Luckily, we have some money from our parent company that’s allowed us to build a solid prototype. GamesBeat: What’s the Kickstarter going to be? Will it be for special content, additional goals? It’s not just Kickstarting the full game, correct? Right now we’re aiming at the beginning of June, starting on, for the public launch. Not only Kickstarter, but one piece of important information is that we’re going to launch a Kickstarter campaign next week. Oleg Shpilchevsky, Owlcat head of game development: Yes. GamesBeat: From what I understand, you want to talk about a Kickstarter project? ![]() Here’s an edited transcript of the interview. In an exclusive interview with GamesBeat last week, Owlcat head of game development Oleg Shpilchevsky and creative director Alexander Mishulin spoke to me about the Kingmaker (which follows the tabletop RPG adventure path of the same name), the scope of the Kickstarter, the environment for crowdfunding video games in 2017, and working with Paizo, Inc. “But the team wants to make it larger than the current secured budget allows so they are reaching out to the Kickstarter community.” “The game will happen,” an Owlcat representative said. The effort will also include goals for music and voice-overs. This Kickstarter, to be clear, isn’t to fund Kingmaker - it’s to add to it. Owlcat hopes to increase the number of companions (and give them more depth), classes (Pathfinder as a number of roles for characters to play), dungeons and other areas to explore, events, and new quests that aren’t part of the published Kingmaker adventure path. ![]()
