Children of the Wells Video Game Kickstarter--Coming Soon! |

April 1, 2015

Friends,

I have the distinct pleasure and honor to announce the pre-announcement of the Children of the Wells first ever Kickstarter campaign for not one, but TWO indie video game projects! I, along with the other members of ChildrenoftheWells.com, have been hard at work brainstorming and planning out this huge and exciting endeavor which can be funded for the paltry sum of $10,000.

These will be all-new, canon stories featuring additional adventures of Bron & Calea, and of Jaysynn.

“One of my favorite aspects of reading comic books are when storylines span multiple books,” explains project writer Greg Meyer. “I love buying issues of series I have no interest in or face the risk of being completely lost in the story I’m currently reading. I want to bring that same kind of thrill by mixing books with video games. If you want to know what’s going on in the books, you have to play the games.”

When the project was first tossed around, we jumped at the chance. I mean, how hard can it be to make a video game? I made one on my calculator in High School, and technology has only grown since then.

We’re not only making two video games, but their styles will be completely different. That’s right, two different experiences for the CotW fan!

Actual screen shot!

Jaysynn Quest Go! is an RPG that harkens back to those magical days of our youth, spending hours in front of the television on Saturdays clicking buttons to attack with a sword instead of straining our arm! We’ve studied the classics of the genre, from SaGa Frontier to Quest 64, even going all the way back to that NES gem Hydlide. Spend endless hours getting lost in first-person dungeons, getting into random battles every two steps, and trying to wrap your head around our incomprehensible battle system! Best of all, we’ve removed save points and instead allow you to input passwords. Now you never have to worry about the game battery dying ever again! As for the plot, follow Jaysynn as he traverses the trap-filled labyrinths of Lord Dracon’s tower to rescue Kyrie from the power-mad villain and finally marry her. Can Jaysynn survive the monsters below and defeat Mecha Lord Dracon X to save her? You’ll have to play it and find out! And remember, it’s canon.

Bron & Calea and the Gooey Select is based on the wacky and fondly remembered adventure games of the 80’s. Follow our heroes as they attempt to solve who’s been turning former Select into pink goo. Solve complex and intricate stage puzzles that will require hours upon hours of endless pixel clicking and item combinations. Did you collect the ketchup packet, ball of lint, and dodecahedron from the room you visited twenty hours ago but can’t revisit? No? Better restart your game and start all over again!

Stunning old-school graphics!

Our Story Designer Greg Meyer is hard at work writing out the game scenarios. Based on what we have, it should take 400 hours for you to complete just one of the two games. Now that’s a ton of content! Think of the value you’re going to get if you choose to support our Kickstarter program!

Of course, no Kickstarter project is complete without rewards! Here’s what we’ve planned so far for our wonderful and amazing donors:

$1) A dollar? Really? And you’re expecting a reward? How dare you, you cheapskate.
$10) Autographed CotW ebook of our choosing.
$30) All of the CotW ebooks, signed by just one of our authors.
$50) An ebook and one of our old T-shirts with that pizza stain that won’t come out.
$500) An eBook and a vial of our tears.
$10,000) All expense paid trip to exotic Indiana.*

Note: Contributor is responsible for airfare, lodgings, and food during duration of trip.

We sincerely hope you consider pledging something to our Kickstarter. With your help, we can create a truly revolutionary experience.

Thank you,

The Children of the Wells Staff
