Several years and many notebooks later it's all coming true. All I need now is your support!Solace Crafting will be actively developed for years to come whether I have to keep my day job or not. My current goal is to somehow, someway, raise enough money or sales to quit my day job so I can actually make a dent on my gigantic todo list.Immediate Goals:Get a demo out to streamers, press, and Steam curatorsRaise enough money to go full time via Kickstarter or Steam SalesSpend the rest of my life developing Solace Crafting and it's descendants (unless Starfleet becomes a reality)Continuously run events to incorporate community made icons, recipe ideas/models, enchants, buildings, etc.Make an attempt to encourage good sportsmanship and a positive attitude amongst game communities* Multiplayer, and all of its many features will absolutely be implemented when full-time development becomes a reality. Multiplayer will be largely PvE in structure and grief prevention/anti-cheat will be our first priority. Until then or a until a solid beta build is released, the game will remain single player.The best is yet to come!
