Is It Worth Backing After the Main Goal Has Been Reached?

We often hear the question: if the main goal has already been achieved and the next stretch goal is still far away, does it mean that further support for the project is no longer as important?

And what will the intermediate funds be used for? We would like to address these important questions.
addedThe main goal is a foundation, not a final point. Our main goal was designed to establish a solid base for the game: to refine many details, improve core mechanics, add depth, and make the project as cohesive and high-quality as possible. However, everything we receive beyond this level allows us to go even further: to dedicate more time to each element, work out nuances more deeply, expand the team, or bring in additional specialists to elevate the game to an even higher level of quality.
changedWe are in the decisive phase of the campaign. Every campaign is most active at the beginning and at the very end, and we are now approaching the final stage. This is exactly when every voice of support matters: it can become part of the overall momentum and bring us closer to reaching additional goals.
addedEvery contribution matters. We especially want to emphasize that even small contributions make a difference. They are what helped us reach the main goal in the first place. Do not underestimate your support—every contribution adds up and has a real impact on the project’s development.

  • The main goal is a foundation, not a final point.

    Our main goal was designed to establish a solid base for the game: to refine many details, improve core mechanics, add depth, and make the project as cohesive and high-quality as possible. However, everything we receive beyond this level allows us to go even further: to dedicate more time to each element, work out nuances more deeply, expand the team, or bring in additional specialists to elevate the game to an even higher level of quality.

  • Every contribution directly impacts the game’s development.

    Our philosophy remains unchanged: everything we receive goes toward improving the project. This includes the team’s work, access to technologies and assets, and hiring external specialists who help strengthen specific aspects of development. The more support we receive, the more opportunities we have to make the game deeper, richer, and more polished.

  • We are in the decisive phase of the campaign.

    Every campaign is most active at the beginning and at the very end, and we are now approaching the final stage. This is exactly when every voice of support matters: it can become part of the overall momentum and bring us closer to reaching additional goals.

  • Every contribution matters.

    We especially want to emphasize that even small contributions make a difference. They are what helped us reach the main goal in the first place. Do not underestimate your support—every contribution adds up and has a real impact on the project’s development.

  • Rewards and exclusives.

    And of course, backing the project is not only about supporting development, but also about the opportunity to receive unique rewards and content that will remain exclusive to campaign backers.

A huge thank you to everyone for your support, trust, comments, and involvement in the project! We are on the final stretch, and we still have a chance to make the game even better if we keep moving forward together.

Thank you for being with us 💚
