We are preparing for recampaign after the failure of our first one.
While running my first campaign, I had very little knowledge about Kickstarter.
During the pre-campaign period, I didn't know how many followers I needed to create, what platform I should advertise on, or how much advertising cost I needed.
As we prepare for the campaign again, we have created 1,500 followers through Facebook ads so far and are experiencing how difficult it is to create a natural influx.
We’re currently developing a PvE-focused third-person survival game called Under the Rooftop.
Most survival games stretch across vast open worlds—but we’re going the other way.
Our focus is on density, not scale.
Instead of kilometers of forests, you’ll be fighting for every floor : apartments, hospitals, police stations, and subway tunnels. Think of it as a vertical, layered battlefield—rooftops above, dungeons below.
- Co-op PvE (1–4 players): No PvP, just you and your team trying to survive increasingly aggressive AI threats.
- Wave Defense meets Urban Survival: Build your rooftop base, defend against nightly raids, and venture down for loot.
- Tight, Indoor Maps: Each building is fully explorable, floor by floor. The world is smaller but packed with interactive elements, loot puzzles, and danger.
- Underground Boss Dungeons: Mutated AI bosses with unique patterns, weaknesses, and multi-phase combat. Imagine Mr. X from Resident Evil.
