Post-mortem: Kitori Academy Kickstarter

What I’ve learnt after 2 years working on Kitori Academy, our second game.

Kickstarter was a daunting but exciting moment in the life of our indie game studio.

Before we launched the Kickstarter campaign to get funding for the development of Kitori Academy, we worked on the game for around 2 years.

And 1 whole year of that preparing for the Kickstarter!

Our studio has only 2 people, and as a part of my programmer role, I am also the marketer, accountant, pr and writer.

Before I get into Kickstarter, let me share some information about Kitori Academy.

Kitori Academy is a cosy life simulator where you take the role of a wizard apprentice and have a cat as a companion!

Spend joyful days on whimsical story-quests, making friends with other apprentices, mixing potions, casting spells, crafting, chilling with your cat and tending your garden.
