We would like to introduce you to an exciting opportunity on Kickstarter.com. In three months or less, we will be releasing the Location-based, hunt-and-battle PC/mobile game, Holomon. While we at Tierra Games have already created 150+ Holomon for the game, we are giving others the opportunity to make their own character/Holomon for the game for as little as $30, to be made available in-game. Users only have to submit a drawing/picture/graphic as a base design for their Holomon, along with a description, name, and suggested playing style. We will use this information to draw up a quality Holomon that will be available for other players to hunt for and battle with.
We hope that you will share this opportunity with the viewers of your website. We know that we are offering something special here! Although some Kickstarter campaigns have offered the opportunity to create characters in the past, these offers are always targeted to a high-end donor, with a price tag that usually exceeds $1000. On the other hand, our campaign targets the average donor. Our vision is that we have 1000+ unique, user-submitted Holomon to create over the next few months. If you have any more questions, please feel free to email me (Jeffrey Parker) at TierraGames@gmail.com.
Below is more information about the game from our Kickstarter page!
Holomon is an upcoming hunt-and-battle, location-based, cross-platform game in which the user can hunt for various monsters called Holomon. Holomon can be captured in generic “World Areas” based on real locations around the world. Additionally (and importantly!), users will also be able to use their mobile devices to capture exclusive Holomon that are specific to their location in registered “Local Areas.” Afterwards, captured Holomon can be used to fight against other players in an exciting arena style, real-time, 5-on-5 battle. To help you get an idea of the game, Holomon is somewhat similar to Pokemon, except…
- Location-based: Individual Holomon are location-based – what you catch is dependent upon where you are in real life! Our vision for the game is that hundreds of location-based Holomon will be attached to regions, cities, and even buildings. These Holomon will tie into unique aspects of the local culture and history.
- You Make the Game: In order for the game to truly offer a unique experience for users in varying locations, we need your input. We want this to be a game for the people, by the people. So send us your ideas for characters! If you donate, you can buy a spot for any grade of Holomon, and we’ll make sure it makes it into the game.
- Reality: Similarly, Holomon creatures are based on real/mythological animals, people, and other creatures that can usually be attached to a single location/area.
- Deep Combat: Holomon’s 5-on-5 battle system is deep. While it is simple enough for a child to pick up and play, the real-time aspect of the combat lends itself to skilled, practiced players. The best players will become experts at managing all five players at once.
- Wide Net: Holomon, although kid-friendly, appeals to an audience of all ages.
- Multiplayer: Holomon will be targeted towards creating a massively multiplayer atmosphere. Interacting with other players through battling and trading as you assemble the ultimate team will be our focus. There will be no single player story mode.
- Availability: Don’t worry about buying a specific handheld device to play- our game will be available on any browser, Facebook, and the iPhone upon release. We hope to expand to Android devices as soon as possible.
We at Tierra Games believe that Holomon has the potential to be an extremely popular game that is played by people of all ages and skill levels. We have worked hard over the last year and a half to make it a reality. However, we now turn to the supportive community that surrounds Kickstarter.com to help us make the final leap to release, and to give you the opportunity to make a Holomon!
