Slashland/Slashie/Slashgravatar is attempting to crowdfund the completion of Ananias, his roguelike game for mobile devices, via Indiegogo. You can find his pitch video embedded above; here’s his description of what the crowdfunding campaign funds will be put toward:

Some months ago I started developing a game with an idea in my mind: I wanted to make people being able to experience the fun of a roguelike / dungeon crawler game, without the high entry barrier currently created by outdated and overly complex interfaces, and I wanted them to be able to do it from their smartphones and other portable devices. I had been looking for a game like that and could never find it, it was time to create it!.

I set into that journey of development, and today I can say the foundations are laid out, but I think it’s time to take it to another level… I’m launching this campaign because with your help, I’ll be able to make the game even more accessible, fun and artistically pleasing, so that it can be enjoyed by a lot of people in the world.

There’s an existing, completely playable version available at http://slashland.co/ananias; this campaign seeks to implement new cool features, polish the game experience immensely, and make it available to all major platforms HTML5 based development allows (Android, iOS, FirefoxOS and Desktop).

Due to the magic of HTML5 this also means the game can be played on desktop platforms such as PC, Mac and Linux, and I can tell you it’s pretty fun for a ten minutes break from job to clear your mind.

Funds raised from the campaign would go toward paying the artists (for pixel art, illustration, music and sfx, I’m working with three guys who do an excellent job at this), as well as covering publishing and advertising costs. Finally, I’d like being able to take some time off web projects to develop the additional features.

Chipping in just $15 gets you lifetime access to all premium updates for Ananias…and a postcard featuring a piece of art from the game.
