๐จโ๐ป About Me
Hi there! I love playing games & ever since I was a kid, I always wanted to create my own video game. Some of my favorite genres are RPG, Metroidvania, Souls-like, Rogue-like. I always prefer those games that has a good exploration with secrets to unlock, skill based combat system that uses my skills to beat enemies no matter how leveled up I'm.
For the last 2 years, I've been working on DurDanto for full-time & it has been a very busy but wonderful journey for me. I've a very good plan to continue with the story of DurDanto & if I get enough support I'm confident enough to make sequels of this game & some other games like this one!

๐ธ Why Looking for Funding?
For the longest time, I have always dreamt of making my very own video game and to be honest, I still can't believe that I'm doing it. I've made some attempts in my past using various apps like Game Maker, Construct 2 etc. to develop a commercial game but didn't got that unique feeling to move forward. From the very first time I jumped into Unity's game engine, I fell in love with it, and I can truly say that this is something I want to explore & be very good at it.
Before developing DurDanto, I was working as a Remote Software Developer for a startup based on US. After Covid lockdown, the startup had to let me go but I was able to save some money from that job. I wanted to give DurDanto a try & while developing this game, I realized that there's more to this game & I don't want to stop by just making this game. But like most of you, I also have a real life, a family to take care of & that's not possible without the need of money.
Your contributions will ensure that I can devote 100% of my work-week to this game and other games from my end without the need to look for a full-time job! The game needs some visual and audio improvements like cutscenes, voice-overs etc. to make the game more alive & enticing! Making them require a good amount of money which is something that I don't have. With the digital purchase of Supporters Pack, you're securing the full game & also helping me to reach my goals to improve this game. Your funds will also be used to ensure my Studio's continuation, living cost & paying bills/taxes.
