Since we announced our road to Kickstarter, the most common question we've received is: "How can I support you right now?"
Today, we have an answer. Pre-Kickstarter support is now live on our website.
Why Pre-Kickstarter Support?
Our Kickstarter campaign is planned for later this year, but game development doesn't pause while we wait. Every day, our team is working on the vertical slice—building environments, refining combat mechanics, writing dialogue, and bringing the world of Zephara to life.
Your early support directly funds this ongoing development. It allows us to dedicate more time to building the demo that will anchor our Kickstarter campaign and prove our vision works.
Every contribution—no matter the size—sends a powerful message: "I believe in this project. I want to see Zephara become a reality." That belief fuels our work every single day.
What Your Support Goes Toward
We believe in total transparency about how funds are used. Here's exactly where your pre-Kickstarter support goes:
- Vertical Slice Development — A 2-3 hour polished demo set in the Frostpeak Reaches, featuring combat, exploration, and companion interactions
- Professional Art & Assets — Commissioning character models, environment art, and UI designs from talented artists
- Audio & Music — Original soundtrack composition and sound effects that bring the world to life
- Kickstarter Campaign Preparation — Professional video production, marketing materials, and campaign page development
- Server & Infrastructure Costs — Website hosting, community tools, and development infrastructure
How It Works
We've added a secure payment option right on our homepage. You can contribute any amount you're comfortable with through PayPal—a platform trusted by millions worldwide.
The process is simple:
- Visit our homepage and find the "Support Zephara" section
- Click the PayPal button to make your contribution
- You'll be redirected to our thank you page after your support is complete
This is not a pre-order. This is direct support for our development efforts before the Kickstarter campaign goes live. When our Kickstarter launches, you'll have the opportunity to back specific reward tiers with exclusive perks.
Early Supporters Will Be Remembered
We keep track of everyone who supports us in this pre-campaign phase. When the Kickstarter launches, early supporters will hold a special place in our community. You believed in us before we had a demo to show. Before we had a polished trailer. Before anyone else took the leap.
That kind of trust doesn't go unnoticed.
