I hear retro is popular but I am not old enough to have played any games in the non-3d era, let me just make this pixel poo poo art style as a cop out for lack of creativity talent and skill with 3d development.

pixel size consistency? whats that?

Also when you say "retro", you mean a mix of NES and SNES, right?

We dont know how to netcode, so theres only gonna be local co-op, aka hotseat which was the poo poo 20 years ago.

Also, we "want to deliver the best single player experience ever", which means we were to lazy to code multiplayer.

actually iys a lot less work if we just code multiplayer and call it a day

no need to bother with anything cretive like building a single player

we should keep ""want to deliver the best single player experience ever" in our feature list for the first 7 years of early access though

*Release a somewhat functional beta that's pretty impressive *

Don't worry folks. Production is on schedule!

*Several months go by, one or two ambiguous screenshot later. *

We promise we'll get it done by early next year.

I'm sorry to report that the lead developer has decided to move on to other things.

If you give us money for these pre-alpha screenshot that could be a game or not, you will get no guarantee whatsoever that your investment will not be used for coke and hookers and there will never be an actual release.
Also, if you dont give us enough money, we might shut down this project within a days notice.

That said, please give us money so we can make this super-awesome game!
Maybe.
