READ THIS! Kickstart cancelation, Digital Rewards and more


Hello everyone!

Two years after Baradroid's announcement, we released its first build. It was a challenging journey to make one of our most significant projects, and I want to share a few things with you all. I hope they help you understand some changes we made to complete the project.

When we started it, we made a Steam page as fast as possible. We aimed to collect wishlists while we completed under-development projects, and then we would start Baradroid. Things started pretty well. We had a fantastic writer on the team; the project would have more than 100k words, Live 2D sprites (as Fallen Bear), five routes; it would be a BIG project!

However, after the first weeks with the Steam page available, we noticed the wishlist rate wasn't as good as we expected. We could be sad about it, but we decided to take risks. We reduced Baradroid's scope to make it would be fully voiced! We planned to make a Kickstarter for that because, after years of trying to make one, we could do that! (Last year, Male Doll found a US company, and now we can launch a Kickstarter.)

We prepared A LOT OF DIGITAL REWARDS: a fantastic wardrobe system in which you can choose dicks for the androids, change their clothes, wear accessories, and have pets - as we can check on the images below. 



The page was accepted by Kickstarter; the game was almost done, and then... A bureaucratic issue popped up. Kickstarter requested a new document for me (Victoria) to be able to receive the payment. It's not a big deal, and my accounting requested it a few months ago, but the point is that the document can be delivered tomorrow in 1 week, 1 month, a semester. There is no forecast for this.

If we were a big company, we could wait for that, but we aren't. Also, we are working on many things and want to present them to you, but we need to close this chapter. Baradroid made us learn A LOT of things, and we put our heart into it. The game is 100% done and will be launched next month.

All digital rewards we made will be sold as a DLC.

Thank you, everyone, for being patient and not giving up on this project. We hope we fulfill your expectations. If you haven't wishlisted it on Steam yet, please do it! It helps us reach new players a lot.

Sorry to hear this, but im glad that things are still moving forward. Like the comment above i too was worried when i read the title lol. When the game releases i will gladly buy it. I just have one question about the DLC, could you clarify what you meant by digital rewards. Are they the "Kickstarter Exclusives" in the images you showed? Just curious.

Thank you, and yes! All Kickstarter Exclusives we made will be sold as a unique DLC. 

Omg I was scared for a moment when I saw 'cancellation' in the title! I'm sorry things didn't work out as you expected, but I'm glad the game is still getting released. There's nothing wrong in reducing the scope of the game, it's better than abandoning it. I'll definitely be purchasing it when it comes out! :)

Thank you so much for your support <3!
