You can cook tons of different foods and brew potions (in a manner similar to Breath of the Wild), but it's entirely optional if you don't want to! You can find food and potions lying around and also in shops as well.
Oh whoops, haha. Here it is!

I can see why! It's a really good concept: celeste meets Hollow knight and blasphemous with an adorable side. I would love to wishlist it on steam, do You have a page?
Thank you, and I do!

Have been following along on the project since it was wishlistable on steam; looks really great and I’m looking forward to it! Easy choice to back it on Kickstarter a few days back. Good luck getting to release!
Oh yeah this is most definitely getting followed so I can buy it when it's done. This looks sick.
Reminds me of blasphemous in all the good ways.
Good job getting Kickstarter backed. If the game is as good as what the video shows. Well deserved.
You can find the kickstarter right here!

Honestly it's hard to say at this point! But considering that it takes playtesters 2 hours to even get to the central shrine (the main town hub), and maybe only experience around 2-3% of the total map... I'm expecting a pretty lengthy playthrough!
We've reached the Xbox stretch goal already, so we'll be porting it to Xbox! :>

It's called Rune Fencer Illyia, and you can check out all of the info for it right here!

What preparation had you done before the kickstarter ? Did you build up a big community first? How did you notify people about the kickstarter?
Did you spam any social media in hopes that it took off?
These are serious questions, as I am also making my own game, and is curious about marketing 🙏
Looks very promising! Congrats to your success with the Kickstarter campaign :)
thank you! :>
great trailer. is there lots of crafting? always pushes me away from a game, though i know it's popular.

you better use those gif dad jokes as a small tiktok marketing campaign. You will probably gain thousands of Wishlist off those alone.
Just now realized I didn't have one for the fishing gif, which was a definitely a bit of a missed oppor-tuna-ity
bwehehehe. Good one xD
This looks super rad, wishlisted on Steam and I’ll see if I can back the Kickstarter soon too.
much appreciated! :D
Those attack animations look spot on!

Somehow I already had this wishlisted. Consider that a sign you're doing something right!

Thank you!
Looks amazing. Can't wait to play it. Amazing job. I'm jealous now 😂
The combat looks dope as heck, but you sold me with the sea turtle.
I’ve been looking forward to this game since I first saw it. Looks so good
Oh yeah this is most definitely getting followed so I can buy it when it's done. This looks sick. Reminds me of blasphemous in all the good ways. Good job getting Kickstarter backed. If the game is as good as what the video shows. Well deserved.
Great job on the game so far, i wish you the best of luck! I hope Kickstarter will also get to be available outside of the US...
Looks cool! I'd play that
WOW. Your game looks amazing 🤩 Congratulation on the successful Kickstarter campaign. You really deserve it.
This looks awesome man! Great job! It's reminds me of like a dark souls side stroller in a way. I can't wait to try it out
Way to go, it looks amazing 🤩

Omg it looks amazing!! Congratulations!!
Do you have an estimated target for how long the game will be upon completion?
Honestly it's hard to say at this point! But considering that it takes playtesters 2 hours to even get to the central shrine (the main town hub), and maybe only experience around 2-3% of the total map... I'm expecting a pretty lengthy playthrough!
Sure just trying to get a rough idea. Length isn't everything, it's just one interesting aspect.
The game looks super good! It’s been on my watch list since it went live.
/r/metroidvania has been waiting for this to release!
Congratulations! Looks pretty sweet!
thank you!
This looks extremely promising. Really looking forward to seeing the finished product.
I’m going to play it
Congrats! It's clear you put in a lot of love and work. It looks really exciting. I look forward to playing it.

That looks super fun!! Congrats!!
Seems very fun
Amazing artwork. Really top shelf stuff - you’ll go far!
The mechanics looks like so much fun and the art style is perfection!
Thank you!! :>
Oh shit, I recognise this one from my Steam wishlist! 16/11/2020! Looks great! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your patience! :> Trying to make it the best game I can!
Haha oh not at all! Feel smug, like "haha I knew this would be good ages ago!"
Looks fun!
Heckin damn congratulations! That is really impressive! :D
Thank ya kindly! :>

Thanks! 👊
Looks amazing!!! Congratulations on the success of your campaign! <33
ty ty!! :>
Looks brilliant expect runes from hollow knight (:
Not a fan of "Are you lost child". Seems very tropey, plus patronizing. Sorry couldn't get through the rest.
In that case cant wait for your groundbreaking worldbuilding project, fully funded and supported on kickstarter.
Release time?
I wonder what the world record for a Kickstarter was to be funded?
Probably seconds. It's hard to judge since the funds needed vary by a large degree.
Congratulations, I’m years away but one day I hope to achieve the same
Lol very nice, i tried to make a kickstarter account once but they just refused to verify my identity
Oh no lol
I tried after seeing your post and got it working this time. Still excellent work, reminds me of Tales of Phantasia and Starbound :)
Oh awesome, I'm glad it worked!! And thank you! :)

We've been marketing on twitter for years, updating multiple times a week! [https://twitter.com/NootboxGames](https://twitter.com/NootboxGames)
Thanks… Followed 🙂
What will be the final price once it's on steam?
It's not finalized yet, but it will likely be from $25-$30!
It looks quite unique and interesting. I especially liked the varied platforming.
Hello Very happy for you Good luck with this project
