Hello Everyone!

I want to extend my deepest thanks to all of you for backing Veiled Shadows. Your support and enthusiasm mean everything to me. As a solo developer, bringing this game to life is a labor of love, and seeing your belief in the project is both humbling and motivating.

Budget planning:

Transparency is incredibly important to me, which is why I want to ensure you have a clear understanding of how your support is being used.

Every contribution is vital to the development of Veiled Shadows, and I’m committed to managing the budget responsibly

By sharing this breakdown, I hope to show how much your backing means and how dedicated I am to making the most of every dollar. Your trust and support are what make this project possible, and I’m committed to being as open and transparent as I can throughout this journey.

  • 3D Modeling (35%):
    As a solo developer, I need a budget for 3D modeling to create detailed characters and environments. Since this is a specialized and time-consuming task, collaborating with skilled 3D modelers ensures the game’s visuals are top-notch, allowing me to focus on gameplay and story.

  • Professional Music Production (50%): Collaborating with professional music producers to fully deliver top quality music.

  • Professional Artists (15%): To ensure a detailed and professional Art throughout the entire game, I will outsource some important Artwork to professionals in this field!

  • Steam Developer Fee (One Time Fee):
    Steam requires developers to pay a $100 fee to upload a game to their platform. If a certain sales threshold is met, this fee is refunded, allowing me to reinvest it into marketing.

Late Pledges Are Now Active!

If you missed the campaign or know someone who might want to jump on board, late pledges are now available! All rewards that were still available during the campaign can now be claimed through Kickstarters late pledge feature.

I’ll be keeping late pledges open for a while, if you couldn't support the project yet or want to share it with friends!

This has been an incredible journey, and it’s only the beginning. Thank you once again to everyone who backed, shared, and supported this campaign—you’re the reason this is possible.
