A localisation of 3 classic Japanese shooters for release on PC in the west.
he Tale of ALLTYNEX is a trilogy of arcade shooting games, created for the PC (Windows) by Japanese indie developer SITER SKAIN. All three games are legends in shmup / shooting game communities, both in Japan and overseas. We are currently working with SITER SKAIN to bring the complete trilogy to gamers worldwide in English for the first time.
Western gamers will finally be able to fully enjoy the unique mechanics, carefully crafted play experiences, focus on destructive fun, dramatic presentation and engaging score attack gameplay which have made the ALLTYNEX games renowned in Japan. Sci-fi fans will also enjoy the backdrop to the action, which is a millennium-spanning saga which encompasses global civil war, an ages old alien threat and humanity in need of salvation as it teeters on the edge of extinction.
The money raised by a successful Kickstarter will allow us to apply additional resources to the final polish and quality checking phase of the localization and will go in part towards promoting the games to overseas gamers. This last point is hugely important for The Tale of ALLTYNEX to successfully make it through Steam Greenlight and onto Steam distribution. Japanese games struggle to gain attention and recognition on Steam Greenlight, so much so that only ONE Japanese indie game has managed to pass Greenlight out of over greenlit 70 games so far! The awareness and marketing budget from a successful Kickstarter will provide The Tale of ALLTYNEX a boost on Greenlight and hopefully contribute to bringing these games to the world's biggest digital distribution platform!
Of course, in the event that The Tale of ALLTYNEX successfully passes Steam Greenlight,everyone who has contributed $15 or more will receive free Steam keys to match the number of games in their reward tier.
Funds raised beyond the initial target will go toward creating the stretch goal rewards we have prepared (see below for details.) We would love to create an English language version of The Tale of ALLTYNEX Official Guide Book, the key to the ALLTYNEX universe that adds an enormous amount of background and information about the storylines, mechanical designs, characters and more. We would also like to honor the trilogy by producing a Tale of ALLTYNEX Limited Physical Edition. The cost of creating items like these is far in excess of what we can afford on our localization budget, but with your support, we can make it happen!
