While big studios making Kickstarters is somewhat problematic, this is pretty much the first time customers can actually "vote with their wallet" before the production.

What about copyright?

The game is being developed in a country that does not recognize copyright. On top of that, the product will go live on the Tron Network, whose administration has promised the game will be safe from getting taken down since it will be secure on their decentralized blockchain.

quote:

Are we biting off more than we can chew?

When you think about an MMORPG you probably think of enormous games like World of Warcraft, Eve Online or TERA, in which you have an endless array of possibilities
(raids, guild wars, infinite quests, enormous dungeons, a never-ending realm…) and our vision for Pokemon Worlds is similar to that. The core idea behind the game is to build a classic adventure world with a focus on the story campaign, but with online elements added
around it. Combining all 8 generations of Maps and Pokemon is surprisingly inexpensive. Upgrading the graphics to unreal engine standards, and then integrating new original features will be the brunt of the work load, and is what majority of the investment will be used for.

quote:

Pokemon will also have rarity levels. Sick of rattatas and zuebats? You won't be when a legendary 1/400 limited edition rattata and a 1 of 33 existing shiny zuebat attacks you and your friend at the same time. Yes thats right, when you're running around with your friends, you can encounter 2 different pokemon at the same time, in fact, we've even made it so a group of 3 could encounter 3 different wild pokemon at once and have an epic 3v3 battle!

Risks and challenges

Releasing an online Pokemon game with all 8 generations of Maps and Pokemon is the easy part. Integrating completely new and original modes and features will be our biggest challenge, which is why most of the budget will be used to speed up the creation these new features. We already have a solid network figured out that the game will safely reside on. Since it will go on a decentralized network, it will be fully protected from being taken down or censored in any way.

From comments (bold = the creator's comments)

What exactly are your qualifications for leading this project?

This will be the first project I have led, but I am determined to create a life changing Pokemon game no matter what it takes. If I can raise the 80k, it will be matched by another investor, plus I am putting a lot of my own money into it. My goal is to build a game people love forever. I have a group of devs who are assuring me this project is more then possible. I'm just tired of sitting around and waiting for someone else to make it. The Pokeverse needs this!

No where in that 95 word rant did you list a single qualification.

Very good observation! Fortunately, you don't have to be very qualified to raise money. Trust me, I won't be physically designing or coding the game, that's what the budget is for. So, I'm not qualified to lead this project, however it doesn't mean I won't do a better job then people who are "qualified". I really super duper appreciate your quality comments though ;)

Oh lord the delusion is real. You "idea guys" are the absolute bane of software.

Aww, is someone salty their college degree amounted to nothing but debt? It's ok this is a safe place for you to cry little buddy.
