Graywalkers - Moving Forward Update

Remove all ads!

Here is the new post-funding update that Dreamlords Digital promised they would post this week, and it gives everyone a status update on the game's development.

Funds Status
Finally the money from Amazon has been released. It seemed that the reason they couldn't clearly inform us of what was happening nor could they explain was due to the fact that they had to keep the whole change in KS a secret. This also explains why they said no matter what, we would get our money in 90 days or less. They were in some sort of transition period. After the announcement was made that KS was dropping Amazon, we got an email from them less than 2 days later saying that we needed to withdraw the money as all accounts will be closed. Now, we can move forward full steam ahead.

Investment
We are currently now in talks with several investors who have expressed interest in providing additional funding to the game. Our success in the KS has given us the needed credibility to get further potential investment. Though nothing has been signed yet, things look very promising as negotiations have began. We're hoping we close this deal soon like in a month or two. Here's crossing our fingers (and toes).

Staff
We've found some new members to join our team. We now have a new writer, and two new artist and hopefully one new programmer (still being vetted). These guys are full time on Graywalkers only so definitely we're moving much faster than we did pre-KS. We are still recruiting more members as we speak.

Rewards
We are currently preparing the rewards. We will be sending them out in batches as we complete them. We are hoping to start sending out some of the rewards in late March or sometime in April. As we mentioned before, we intend to fulfill as many of the rewards that are not dependent on the game being finished.

For those who have gotten design rewards, please contact me with your ideas at russelltomas@dreamlordsdigital.com. When you contact me, please be sure to include the account name you use here in Kickstarter. We need to start working on the concepts already so we can include them in the development schedule.

PayPal
For those who would still be interested to pledge some more, our paypal is still open with the same rewards and add-ons. You can check it out here. http://graywalkers.com/Pledge-Now.html

Development
As we mentioned the last update, we've already moved forward with development. Currently, most of our work is focused on the following activities:

• Character Redesigns - we've been redesigning some of the characters and taking many of the feedback and integrating them.
• World Building - we continue to work on the details of the world to ensure a more developed background where you guys will be playing in.
• Writing - our new writer has just started getting her feet wet in the world of Graywalkers. We expect her to do wonders with the story.
• 3D Modeling and Sculpts - we've started doing new sculpts for the main playable characters for the game. We decided that we wanted to level up the quality of the 3d characters for the game as much as we possibly could. we believe with the talented team we've put together, this is something we can do. We will be showing you some samples in this update, let us know what you think.
• Demo Improvements - we're currently improving the combat system and the demo to be used as a showpiece for our final investor presentations and other presentations. You guys will of course be given a copy of the new demo to get your feedback. Below are a few samples of
