This particular objective necessitates an extra 3k investment due to the intricacy of the task.

Furthermore, any additional funds raised beyond the specified goals of the 4 Phases will be allocated to enhancing marketing efforts and refining the online multiplayer experience.

I am primarily working alone on this project, taking on most responsibilities such as design, programming, art, and marketing. Music and the majority of the graphics are outsourced to other artists. This crowdfunding a pivotal role in getting me closer to realizing my dream of becoming a full-time developer. More importantly, it expedites the arrival of Swords & Crystals to you, and in an improved state. While I'm confident I could gradually develop this game on my own over several years with patience, I recognize its incredible potential to flourish with a modest kick-start that accelerates development significantly. With complete funding, this game will not only reach the market faster and in a better form but also with significantly more content.
Furthermore, the MMORPG landscape is somewhat lacking in exceptional titles, despite being my preferred gaming genre, and I struggle to find engaging and competitive online role-playing games. It has come to my attention that many gaming communities share this sentiment, and there's a noticeable void in the MMORPG genre. The only MMORPGs I truly appreciate are WoW and RS in its old, classic days. The graphics of Swords & Crystals are not very comparable to those of these major MMORPG titles, but with the top-down graphics and gameplay, Swords & Crystals should become one of the most comprehensive and unique online game in the scene. I firmly believe that this game has the potential to revitalize the MMORPG experience, making it enjoyable and exciting once more, and making this game one of the most outstanding online RPGs available that sets itself apart with unique graphics and gameplay. I have no intention of replicating another Zelda or any other retro game clone, as there are already plenty of those in existence.
