3 Sprockets, an indie development studio, today announced the launch of a 36-day crowdfunding campaign for its 3D mini action role-playing game, Fight the Dragon. Scheduled for release via Steam and Humble store on Windows, Mac and Linux, Fight the Dragon, combines epic hack-and-slash action and looting with the ability to create and share adventures through the easy-to-use Adventure Construction Kit.
The Kickstarter campaign begins today with the team at 3 Sprockets seeking a minimum of AU$50,000 to make Fight The Dragon a reality. Supporters of the project can get involved by pledging as little as AU$15 at Fight the Dragon - Kickstarter. Backers can select from multiple pledging tiers, from early alpha access to being credited with naming the Dragon.
“With the support of the Kickstarter community, we are excited to move forwards with the next stage in development,” said Seon Rozenblum, Director of 3 Sprockets, “We are pleased to be bringing back split-screen multiplayer, a feature that has been overlooked in recent years, and we cannot wait to see what players come up with using the Adventure Construction Kit.”
Fight The Dragon is a hack-and-slash game based around short 10-15 minute play sessions that allow players to jump in for a quick fix or play multiple adventures over longer play sessions. Players take control of a hero who begins the journey as a young naive adventurer who must battle everything in their path to quickly evolve into the ultimate dragon warrior. With a procedural loot system that allows the hero to fine tune equipment and abilities, players will never run out of loot to find, no matter how far they progress.
Fight The Dragon supports local split-screen co-op as well as up to 4-player online drop-in co-op over LAN and Internet. By completing adventures and passing milestones, heroes earn tickets to “Fight The Dragon” in the ultimate dragon battle arena. Players will need to summon all they have learnt on this epic adventure to destroy their deadliest foe.
Shipping with a feature rich in-game Adventure Construction Kit, players can design and share their own adventures with players around the world. The Adventure Construction Kit allows players to sculpt and paint environments, place props, traps, loot, enemies and encounters, becoming the ultimate Dungeon Master of old.
