Hey everyone,
instead of just a single game I would like to introduce a whole game company.
The idea of Charity GamesLAB is, as the name suggests, to combine games with charity. We donate 70 % of our profits to Save the Children and reinvest the remaining 30 % into development of new games.
Our first game is about little alien creatues who crashed on earth and have to fix their shuttle to go back home.
The player has to dodge obstacles and collect shuttle parts. We’re also planning a “challenge your friends” feature which would record the path your friend took and show his character alongside yours, similar to a race.
This (and future games) will primarily be released on Android and iOS, but I can also post a desktop version here once the game is in a presentable state.
I joined Charity GamesLAB to work on their first game as lead developer and it’s going great. Our artists are incredible. Needless to say we use libGDX and plan on doing so for future games. However, we’re still in startup phase and paid all expenses from our own pockets. To finish our first game and especially for extensive marketing in 10 countries, we need a budget. Marketing is incredibly important for this project - we want our donations to actually make a difference, so we need users. We do have an international marketing team - it’s just missing a budget.
If this project sounds appealing to you, we would be very happy if you took a minute to share our crowdfunding campaign via twitter, facebook or other social networks:
Of course donations are also more than welcome! Your support means a lot and we really need it to get this project started.
Thanks for reading!
