Press release:
Toulouse, France –May 20, 2022.
The Toulouse-based (France) indie games developer Dreamirl today announced with great pride and excitement that thanks to the support of 3233 backers, Dreamirl’s dark fantasy 2D metroidvania “Gold Project” exceeded its initial Kickstarter goal of 131,253 USD with a total sum of 159,098 USD!
This means that “Gold Project” is now over 120% fully funded via Kickstarter. In other words, Gold Project’s production is now nailed down and secured (the game is currently in development for PC and consloles, and is said to launch in 2023).
After attaining two stretch goals, the finished game will now include new areas, new game modes, a new biome full of creatures, a new boss and an improved game quality.
Gold Project is a karma-based Metroidvania game, in a Dark Fantasy world made of pixel art. To progress in the game, you must choose between Gold and Light. These will define your path in this universe.
In Gold Project, play as Kali, a fighter who once suffered the malice of a god and lost everything. She heads to the City of Gold where she will face off against the God of Greed everyone knows today as the “God of Gold”.
Features:
Venture into a frenetic metroidvania to discover the origin of a world corrupted by gold and populated by abominations.
Your karma evolves along your actions, closing paths and opening new ones. The progression in Gold Project depends on your choices.
A light-rpg skill system, one for the light and one for the gold! Oscillate between spell-caster and raw power!
Alternate between platforming and combat in each zone in a non-linear way with a multitude of epic bosses to fight!
Enjoy the artistic vision of Camille Unknown who offers striking pixel-art, where gigantism and subtlety are the key words.
Let yourself be carried away by the musical universe created by the duo Sarys X MisterMV to discover an epic storyline rich in emotions.
The game will be translated into French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and German (others will be added based on community requests).
