Sacred Fire hits crowdfunding target
Independent developer Poetic Studio has announced that it has successfully funded its Kickstarter campaign for Sacred Fire, its narrative-based, visually unique psychological RPG for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Sacred Fire surpassed its initial funding target of $50,000 USD, and is set for release on PC in Spring 2018, and later for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Poetic Studio has revealed a number of new rewards and stretch goals for the remainder of its crowdfunding campaign, which is set to end on Thursday April 13th.
Stretch Goals
• $55,000 – Extended Character Customization
One of Sacred Fire‘s strengths is its unique visual style and focus on character creation. It’s the deepest and most thought out design aspect of Sacred Fire, as it allows you to develop your own playstyle and create your own hero.
• $60,000 – Inner Voice for your Player Character
The design of Sacred Fire is oriented inwards, exploring the motives, emotions and conflicts of the protagonist. In key story choices, a voice over will breathe life to the inner monologues detailing a player’s thoughts and motives.
• $65,000 – Partial voiceover for 10 Main Characters
This stretch goal ads partial voice-over for the 10 main story characters: the eight potential allies and the two powerful villains. This allows character defining moments to come alive and immerse players deeper into the story.
New Rewards:
- in-game reward Ancient Blood making the player character more memorable
- a Golden Eagle animal companion with an emotional bond and loyalty dynamic,
- and an alarm, text message and ring tone narrated by Doug Cockle, the 2016 Golden Joystick Winner for Best Gaming Performance
“Sacred Fire has been a labour of love for us at Poetic Studio and it has been humbling to see the response from the gaming community. With their support we are now able to deliver on our promise of a unique narrative-based RPG experience where, as we say, your heart hides all of the monsters,” says Andrej Vojtas, Creative Director, Poetic Studios.
About Sacred Fire
Set to be voiced by the vocal talent of Doug Cockle (Geralt from The Witcher 3), Sacred Fire is a game about survival, power and hope, where players lead a band of resistance fighters in Caledonia (ancient Scotland) against the invading Roman Empire. Sacred Fire is not just about the outer, physical struggle for survival, but also about gaining political influence and the pursuit of inner balance, all of which will be presented in a distinctive cinematic art style created by Poetic Studios.
