almost 3 years ago
– Thu, Jul 15, 2021 at 02:36:10 AM
We've done it once again! I can't believe the amount of support from everyone!
More furniture, housing options and decoration for all! Our newly revealed stretch goal is for $160,000 and will include two entirely new romanceable characters added to the game!
Now I'm excited to talk about the next stretch goal.... Seasonal Outfits! This will allow me to make different outfits for all villagers through all four different seasons! (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter) Along with some custom outfits for special events! Take a look at Spring, Summer/Beach and Winter!
This is just a small sample of characters and the outfits they will wear! Help us reach this goal so I can add lots of fun outfits for all of the characters! Also I would love some feedback so....
What other outfits would you like to see the characters wear in the game?
Shout-Out:
Today I'm shouting out a board game! As a huge fan of board games myself, it's my pleasure to promote this one!
Potato Pirates 3: Battlechips is a strategic card game with an exciting gameplay experience where you zap potatoes for energy, dig for sunken cards, and fortify yourself with powers and abilities to defeat enemy factions across the Carbobbean Seas. With each ship representing a block of code to run, choose from a variety of cards to build under your ships as you compete with each other to be the last one standing. With comprehensive coverage of all concepts covered in an introductory computer science course, the game is ideal for ages 10 and up and clocks in at 45 minutes per game on average. Not to be taken as any other coding game, Battlechips offers a high level of replay-ability and a lot of strategic depth that you can enjoy with both friends and family. We promise that there is no other game like Battlechips on the market.

Explaining Designer Reward Tiers and FREE Kumo Papercraft Cut-Out template for Backers!
almost 3 years ago

We're so close to the next stretch goal!
With the campaign getting closer to ending, I just wanted to take a little bit of time to go into more detail about the special designer reward tiers to help better explain what they're about. These tiers will only be available until the end of the campaign and after that, there will be no way to get these specific tiers again!
Design a Monster
As of this post, we've had 6 out of 20 of these tiers taken! So what is Design a Monster?
If you pledge for this tier, you will get to work with me personally to design a monster for Cloudscape! I will communicate with you (whether through Kickstarter, Discord or E-mail) over one or several sessions and I will give you a sneak peek look at how monsters will be developed for the game. Once I've explained how monsters work in Cloudscape, we'll talk about what kind of monster you'd like to have in the game, and I will work with you to narrow it down to a really cool concept!
If you want to provide sketches and such, that's awesome, but totally not necessary! You can just describe your monster to me and I will make some mock-ups of the monster that you can sign off on. You'll have creative input on the monster's name, type, attack, behavior, preferred environment and more!
Design a House Interior Theme
If you pledge this tier, you get to pick an entire furniture/decor theme! This furniture set will be accessible to everyone who plays the game. Do you want a cool gothic all black/gray set of furniture for your house? Do you want a pastel paradise? Do you want something with funky bold colors? You describe what you're looking for, and I'll put together a complete room of furniture and decorations! You get to help name the theme of the furniture and also get included in the game credits! Your set will include a minimum of (10) different items! Chairs, beds, tables, bookshelves, rugs, vases and more!
Design a Villager
Only 5 of these available as of this post! If you pledge this tier, you get to design a villager living in the world of Cloudscape! Name them, give them a backstory, tell me how they should look and what they should wear. Your villager is given a place in the world, along with a possible career, hobbies, likes and dislikes, lots of dialogue. You can put yourself in the game if you want! Players will frequently interact with your villager character throughout their gameplay. You can have as little or as much input for the character as you'd like! If you don't feel confident with some aspects of designing it, no worries! I will help guide the design if necessary to ensure it will be an awesome addition to the game!
Design a Main Character
Only 3 of these available as of this post! If you pledge this tier, you get to design a villager that is romanceable! There's only a select amount of romanceable characters in the game, and they will have the most dialogue, personality and special events than any other characters! These go beyond a Villager design because players will be actively pursuing these characters to date and marry! Your character could be someone's favorite romance partner! I will help you fully design this character, just like with the Design a Villager tier! Provide as much input as you'd like! I will do my best to create your vision and make sure your character is a great addition to the game! You even get to help come up with special romantic events if you want!

Interior/Exterior Decor stretch goal REACHED! New stretch goal REVEALED! We've passed the $125k mark!
almost 3 years ago
– Sat, Jul 10, 2021 at 10:42:53 PM
We did it! $125,000 reached! THANK YOU!
Thank you all so much for supporting the campaign! We've hit yet another stretch goal! (That's SEVEN goals reached so far!) With that we've unlocked Festivals + Events!
I've also heard your concerns about the planned Festivals being too US Holiday centric, and I totally understand that and just want to let you all know that there will be plenty of other festivals and events that are totally original or pull from other events from around the world!
We now reveal Seasonal Outfits, and I'll talk a bit more about the Interior/Exterior Decor stretch goal that we're hoping to reach next!
Interior/Exterior Decoration
This stretch goal covers adding more building upgrades both on the outside and inside! More house styles and designs, more barn styles and other building styles! Not only will you be able to customize lots of details about the exterior and interior of buildings, but there will be more furniture/decorations for inside! The housing system is modular so you'll be able to change the placement of your windows and doors, add or remove rooms, and change the roof and other decorations such as chimney placement!
Various house exteriors and interiors

Bonus Insects/Fish Stretch goal REACHED! Lets get the FESTIVALS unlocked! New stretch goals REVEALED!
almost 3 years ago
– Fri, Jul 09, 2021 at 08:41:39 PM
Yay for insects and fish galore! We've hit yet another stretch goal. Thank you so much!
I'm thrilled to add even more features, fish and insects into the game! Now lets reveal the next goal and talk more about.... Festivals!
Festivals!
We're already on our way to hitting this goal, but let me just go a bit more in depth on what Festivals and Special Events mean for Cloudscape.
I would love to add a nice variety of yearly festivals to the game, and have already planned out quite a few! Here's a short list of what is currently planned:
New Beginnings Festival - This festival will celebrate a new year in the world of Cloudscape and villagers will celebrate with dancing and fireworks!
Heart Day - Give a special gift to that special someone! Pink hearts and flowers decorate the towns. Purchase special chocolates on this day!
Frog Day - Wear green to have extra luck on this day! Celebrate frogs and make a wish at the Frog Fountain! Don't be caught not wearing green today!
Chick Festival - Spring has arrived and with it, new life! Baby chicks take center stage while you can take part in the Chick Corral! See who can gather up as many chicks as you can for fun prizes! Pastel decorations everywhere!
Beach Day - Summer is here and it's time to hit the beach! Participate in the Sand Sculpting Contest and have a refreshing tropical drink!
Spooky Twilight - Put on your spookiest costume and roam around at night! Visit decorated houses and receive treats... or tricks! You may even see Spirits from Limbo roaming around the realm of the living!
Jolly Day - Celebrate winter by bundling up and giving gifts! Villages are decorated in lights and everyone dresses up in their most festive attire!
These are some of the fun festivals planned, and on top of festivals I plan to include other small events like Fishing tournaments, Bug Catching tournaments and more! Don't hesitate to comment if you have ideas for new festivals or events! :)
