Edge Of Eternity - Interview @ Siliconera

What would have happened to Edge of Eternity if the Kickstarter wasn’t successful?

Kickstarter is for us a way to improve our game drastically, to add more talents to the team on the art side, extra gameplay features such as “Nekaroo Breeding” and exciting collaborations as planned with Mr Mitsuda. Without Kickstarter we would be still working on Edge of Eternity but with less resources, with more restrictions on what we can bring into the game, meaning basically less content, a shorter game. With Kickstarter, we expect to bring to game to a whole other level.

What specific features are you able to add with the extra funding? Anything you’re most looking forward to adding?

Obviously, the most exciting goal for us is the unique opportunity we have to work with Yasunori Mitsuda. His music from Chrono Trigger and Xenogears is still fresh in our mind, and so it would be terrific to have him work on Edge of Eternity.

We also already achieved some nice goals. Edge of Eternity is coming to PS4 and Xbox One and that was very important to us as we believe this game belongs to current-gen consoles. We also achieved the Nekaroo Breeding goal that was also something the team really cared about. We believe that will be one of these side game features that make the difference between a good and a great game. Crafting is also at sight right now, and its the same about it. The game would be so more cool with it!

We also have extra goals we’ve been preparing as we say “just in case.” We did not expect our campaign would be such a success but we still worked on additional stretch goals based on ”what would be the coolest things to add if things go terribly good?” We had some nice ideas and found the right partners to do it if this is possible. I don’t want to unveil anything right now, but let’s say some of them have already been asked for by some of our backers. So we are confident that would be things they would like and expect.
