[KICKSTARTER] PAWARUMI needs your help !

[Elunil]

Hello everyone !
I didn't post on the forum about Pawarumi development for what seems like ages to me. Don't worry tho, the game is doing good. We now have almost 4 out of the final five levels and the overall game is getting better and better !

These past weeks we were hard at work on our Kickstarter campaign and we are now really close to the launch.
So i'm humbly coming here, asking for your help.

As shmup player ourselves as well as developers we're really confident with our game. Pawarumi is fun, offers an interesting challenge while staying fair as well as a really unique gameplay loop. But the best game in the world might never find it public without support from its community. Which means we need you !
Our goal with this campaign is to fund more development time as well as some contractor so we can finish the game as it was originally intended. But it's also a way for us to bring together our community from all over the world in the same place.

We really need your support may it be thank to kickstarter or just spreading the word ! But this support won't stay unrewarded and we planed a lot of cool exclusive stuff to thank you guys !

Here is a sneak peak at our kickstarter page. It's not final ! even thou most of the content is there. We still need to add a few pictures and tweak a few stuff as well as adding the new trailer !

Don't hesitate to give us feedbacks, may they be good or bad, we want it to match your expectations.

The campaign should launch in about a week now so please help us spread the word ! We could never thank you enough !
Best regards people

Cool, I think Pawarumi is one of the upcoming shoot 'em ups I'm most excited about. I wish you the best in your campaign and development.

[clippa]

Pawarumi is one of the upcoming shoot 'em ups I'm most excited about.

I'm not so sure, the analogue movement and number of buttons is putting me off. I'm not sure how well it's going to play with a stick. I'll definitely give it a go though.

[Super Laydock]

Maybe you should better explain why you need the extra money, since you say the game is doing good....

I really like what I see and will support the kickstarter to get a physical copy, but please make more clear which enhancements it will get if you reach your goal.
BTW, I'd make a real killer end boss.....so someone donate me 2000 Euro please....

[Elunil]

Thanks guys it's good to see that some of you are waiting for us

Yes the game is doing good for now , but we are running really low on funding ! The extra money is going to help us make no sacrifice on the game !
Without it we gonna release it but not as polished and cool
;
Don't worry about the analog input we spent hours tweaking the curve so the feeling is really close to digital but with a tiny bit of subtlety.
For arcade stick we are going to add a focus button for precise maneuvering.

And the final boss is going to be a real killer don't worry about that we'll see for TLB depending on how well the KS is doing

[Elunil]

Hi everyone ! The Kickstarter Campaign for Pawarumi starts today !
We're really excited and anxious but we are counting on you to spread the word and help us if you believe that Pawarumi will provide you some quality hours of fun !

Feel free to head to http://kickstarter.pawarumi.com to suscribe to the alert and don't miss the early bird offers

Also we opened up a discord server and more and more people are joining everyday !

https://discord.gg/Dm6ZW5E

You can find replays of the last streams, of us or other Players
See you there and spread the love people ! We need you more than ever !

[Super Laydock]

I should really rob the gas station nearby to be the face of that last boss..... (but my mom said no )
Anyway chipping in for a physical copy....

[reckon luck]

Game looks amazing. Considering my options...

[Elunil]

Thank you guys ! Feel free to ask questions if you have some Rekkon

No need to rob the gas station Laydock ! Thank you for your pledge
Did you guys joined the discord already ?

[Guardians Knight]

Any chance of this getting a Dreamast release? Stripped down a bit obviously.

Backed btw my 45e is yours

Also will this have a tate mode?

[MsK`]

Hi guys! Coder of Pawarumi here.

The game is made with unity so the basic answer for a dreamcast release is : nope, not supported. But still, I thought about it and, while it's still totally impossible to finance, I think it should be doable to make some kind of converter for the unity project to run on an hypothetical dreamcast engine! That would be a hell of a lot of work

The game will be on steam, we got greenlit back in december. We're still working on the steam page. It should be up in the coming weeks if you want to wishlist us!

The kickstarter-only physical release will be totally DRM-Free for Windows, MacOS and Linux.

No tate-mode as the game is really designed to be played on an horizontal 16/9 screen.

[kid aphex]

This ... looks really great.

[BulletMagnet]

A couple additional questions, if you don't mind:

1) The game looks, not too surprisingly, at least somewhat graphically demanding; what options will those with non-gaming machines have to available to tweak in the interest of getting things to run smoothly?

2) Do you plan to support the on-disc version with the same patches/updates the Steam version will get? I don't mean to sound accusatory or anything, but another KS project I backed declined to support the DRM-free version of its game once it came out(and never suggested they wouldn't during the campaign), so I figure I'd better make sure this base is covered.

3) Is the cost of shipping included in the price for physical-tier rewards?

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

[Super Laydock]

This game seriously needs a bump. And support!
Please check it out. It's (at least looking) awesome!
And more money might secure a PS4 port (which I'd buy happily).

[Elunil]

Thank you for your support already everyone ! We reached 30% of the goal already !
I just came back from the Eurogamer Expo in London and the game received a lot of praises ! And the scoring contest was really fun ! We had a lot of fight turning around 7 to 8 million on easy mode !
I just can't wait to see players fighting over the top of the leaderboard once the game it release ahaha !
Here is some pictures of the Show !




Allright then BulletMagnet :

On behalf of performances, we worked in a very optimised way right from the start of the development. And the game runs at 60fps even on intel integrated chipset. On top of that we are going to add various options to disable environment FX or different post processes

On the support of DRM free version, there might be updates after the release and we will send emails with links to the patch or newer version.

The cost of shipping is not included in the rewards since it's different for France / Europe / rest of the world.

I hope that answer your questions ! Feel free to ask more details if you are unsure

Thank you Super Laydock for your comment ! We really hope that the game will see the day on ps4 ! We're doing everything we can

[FunktionJCB]

The game is looking good.

I just backed it. I hope you manage to reach your goal.

[BulletMagnet]

Thanks for the replies, consider yourselves backed.

[Elunil]

Thank you guys
We just reached 5000K ! (during the night actually)
That's awesome and we're very thrilled!
We still have a 10 more thousands to reach our first goal ! So if you got any hesitation about helping us, feel free to ask me anything about the Kickstarter, what we are going to do with the money or just about the game itself !

Cheers guys !

[Elunil]

Hello there !
We are at almost 50% of our kickstarter now guys !
Even though we've got a lot of really good feedbacks from shitloads of people from the shoot'em up community it seems that the shmup community isn't helping us as much as we expected outside of a bit of sharing it around.

There is 10 days left to reach 15000€ ! We would really appreciate to have more support from you guys, is there something we can do to get your support ?
We launched this kickstarter with a really honest philosophy. Get money to make a BETTER game. Unlike most kickstarters we have a working game, pretty close to release, and playtested by so much people now that we are sure it's a good shoot'em up that's very unique.

We truly want to make the best game possible for YOU guys, with your help we can make it even better !

On another note, i'm going to be in Japan for a few days next week and i'm already talking to Taito to showcase the game at Hey , so i'll keep you updated !

See you soon guys !
