Dear family and friends,
The past 3 years of my life has been an incredible Journey of self-discovery. I graduated college and began a part-time retail job at Apple. For those of you who don’t know me too well yet, I have always had the dream of making a living by owning my own company. So I founded one not too long ago, called Decobot. I used that brand t
o market my webcomic work that you might be familiar with, but that wasn’t my passion. I knew I had the potential to achieve something far greater. So I spent the past few years, trying to figure out which of my other ambitious ideas was worth pursuing. It took some soul searching, but about two years ago, I knew I wanted to make Destined Legends that pursuit.
Destined Legends began as an Idea for a videogame, back when I was in high school. Denis and I would talk about what kind of game it could be, and I would spend countless hours thinking up characters, stories, and game mechanics. Life went on, and about two years ago, seeing a great opportunity in its current market, I was inspired to create a tabletop card game with my brother Shawn. When it came time to figure out the theme of this card game, we chose my conveniently developed universe of Destined Legends, and so began an intensive development period.
Now we’re at a point where we can easily make this game a reality. We launched a fundraising campaign 15 days ago, on the website Kickstarter. Our goal was to raise a relatively modest $10,000 in order to produce the game in bulk. The turnout was staggering. In just 15 days of our 30 day campaign, we hit our goal, and can now have the game professionally printed. We achieved this with 15 more days to go in the campaign. That’s why I’m writing this today.
If you could ever have a chance to fulfill someone’s dreams, this is it. We want to do this full-time. $10,000 is the bare minimum we need to get the game made, but we still need more to ensure to successful continuation of this project for years to come, and to allow us to fully dedicate ourselves entirely to doing what we love.
Destined Legends has an incredible potential to expand far beyond our current plans. Comic books, apps, and even future videogames can be made possible with your help. So I hope you will visit our campaign page, and consider pledging on our little project. Your generous contributions will go farther than you know.
Sincerely,
Ali
