IT'S OFFICIAL, FATEFUL FRIENDS!

As of midday yesterday, thanks to our 550 backers, we have reached our Kickstarter's main fundraising goal! The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe) has been fully funded, and we have 11 days to go to reach our stretch goals! Which are:

• SIDE STORIES (*30K USD / 40K CAD): At this stretch goal, we'll release short stories in-between our route releases that follow the other characters, so that there will always be a little content for everyone! The side stories will consist of backstory content, interpersonal stories between the love interests, romantic/platonic content with the MC, and anything else we might want to share that won't be fully fleshed out in the routes themselves!
• CUSTOM MCs (*35K USD / 47K CAD): MC will receive a sprite that players will be allowed to customize, influencing eye colour, hair colour, skin tone, facial features, and hairstyle. This will also impact Daonna's sprite, as well as both of their CGs, given MC and Daonna are identical.
• EXPANDED VOICE ACTING (*40K USD / 53K CAD): If you enjoyed our voice acting samples, this stretch goal will allow us to increase our voice acting budget from limited to partial! That means there will be more fully voiced scenes for important narrative moments throughout our game!
• MORE SPRITE OUTFITS (*50K USD / 67k CAD): Exactly what it sounds like. We'll give all the ROs and select side characters alternative sprite outfits, or variations on their existing outfits.
• MINI GAMES (*60K USD / 80K CAD): Mini Games will allow players to explore the world of NDM by simulating Daonna's daily druidic duties. This will in turn give your MC unique "traits" that open up new pathways in the routes. Example: A high "fairyfolk handling" skill will make your MC more personable to the aes sdhe in the routes.
• SWITCH PORT (*70K USD / 94K CAD): Exactly what it sounds like. When our game is 100% complete, we will work to port the full game to the Switch! (Routes will be available for PC/Mac before this, and all of our supporters at the Soldier's Essentials tier and higher will receive a copy of the game for the Switch, as well as a PC/Mac copy, if this goal is reached.)

*Noteworthy: All our Kickstarter graphics were created and listed in USD for the convenience of our audience, which we determined to be primarily American. However, over the course of our campaign (particularly as we were unlocking the flirty sprites) we realized that the exchange rate was fluctuating near daily between USD and CAD, and to a significant degree, so it became difficult to determine when our goals were being reached. (Incidentally, this is also why our full campaign funding is not exactly 25K USD, as listed in our graphic. We have the funding we need, it's just not worth 25K USD anymore. Thanks, Canada.) So, because of this constant fluctuation, we will consider a stretch goal reached if we hit either the USD or CAD amount. Ergo, if we hit 40K CAD in three days, but that 40K CAD is not quite worth 30K USD, we will have still reached that goal regardless.

Thank you all once again from the bottom of our hearts. Can you help us reach some of our stretch goals before the campaign period ends? Either way, we're so excited to share our full project with you all!
