2nd Daki Goal
over 8 years ago – Thu, Feb 18, 2016 at 12:07:55 PM

Hi backers, another goal down and another digital dakimakura funded for the £55 reward level backers and higher... In addition we wanted to announce a special reward for the higher tier physical backers

My Girlfriend Physical Edition

So the £150 reward level now includes a physical edition of My Girlfriend as well as the other three games funded through this campaign.

The £150 edition is not just a copy of each game, it is literally all four games in one big box-set, Not only will it include a special box for all four games, each of which will include the posters inserts and content of the standard editions, but it will also include bonus content and a special Quadrilogy artwork set and a unique poster too.

Thanks for all your support.

Final Stretch Goal, Final Extra's
almost 9 years ago – Mon, Feb 15, 2016 at 10:59:36 PM

Greetings backers, we continue to grow, every-time I step away from kickstarter to work on our existing titles dev work, when I come back we have jumped ever higher.

As the campaign stands we have funds to make three great games; Army Gals, Summer Fling and Battle Girls 2140. What more can we possibly do, except offer Dharker Studio special rewards to our backers...

Therefore after careful consideration and whilst looking over our plans for the year of development we have decided to offer a bonus item to the £55 reward levels and higher.

Essentially anyone who pledges at the £55 reward level or higher will also now receive a steam key for every game we release this year, you will be able to do with this steam key as you wish, to help you decide whether to upgrade or not here is a look at the games we intend to release this year:

• March/April 2016 - Club Life
  A fun adult visual novel set in a students final year before college, where he is forced to join clubs by a friendly teacher. Thus pushing him to meet new people and maybe even fall in love.
       
• May/June 2016 - Starlight Drifter
  The long awaited sci-fi space opera visual novel, where you take to the stars in a directed open universe telling a story of your time in the world, where your choices will truly determine whether you live or die.
          
• July 2016 - Bunny Bounce
  The sequel to Beach Bounce, an adult title set at the beach. In this game you continue Tomoyo's story, now he owns the resort he must 
           
• August 2016 - Army Gals
  The game funded via this kickstarter, an adult game about a group of young people who get stranded in the middle of no-where and need to work together to survive.
        
• September 2016 - Summer Fling
  A short fun adult title about a young man and his weekend by the lake with two pretty young lady's he knew from school. His summer of fun and maybe love before starting university.
        
• November 2016 - Battle Girls 2140
  A sci-fi mech based adult visual novel, where you become the countries new mech pilot, teaming up with a trio of girls and one beautiful mechanic to try and win the ultimate Mech Tournament for your people.

Bonus Games Stretch Goal £20k

And so this takes us to the final part of this update, the final stretch goal, if we reach £20,000 or higher, then we will also create, with the funds available to us one more game to add to the above list, it will be another short adult visual novel.

We will be using base character art that was originally created for Club Life but never used (with some adjustments and new outfits), augmented by additional artwork from other artists we regularly work with.

My Girlfriend will be a cute adult tale about a lonely young woman who wakes up one day to find herself surrounded at work by a group of pretty girls, all of which seem to be interested in being more than friends, leading her to consider the advances of these young ladies and her own sexuality in the process.

If we achieve this final stretch goal then as noted in the section above, everyone in the £55 reward level and higher will also receive a steam key for this game as well as all the others listed for the year.

Big Thanks

With the campaign now just five days till its end, we want to say a big thank you to all who have pledged, we didn't think we would grow this much and be able to fund the development of three titles (possibly 4) from a single campaign.

Which is a great development and one we will be grateful for as it will mean we can keep our artists and writers working continuously throughout the year to create these games, with this campaigns success it is unlikely we will run another kickstarter until all of the current games have all been released and we are preparing our 2017 lineup of titles.

New Rewards, Items & Army Gals
almost 9 years ago – Mon, Feb 15, 2016 at 02:23:52 PM

With just six days to go, we have absolutely smashed the final stretch goal, which leads every pound raised above the £12k goal to help fund the development of Battle Girls 2140.

Thanks to the level of funding we have received so far we can now offer more rewards for this game in addition to what we have already announced. For that reason we have added a few bonus rewards to the campaign...

• £130 - Includes all previous rewards and content, and adds a Battle Girls physical edition and a set of Battle Girls Digital Dakimakuras.
         
• £150 - Includes all previous items, in addition to which it also includes bonus soundtracks and artwork wallpapers for Summer Fling and Battle Girls and will upgrade the three physical editions into one big three disk collectors edition box of all three games, with more bonus inserts, posters and items.
            
• £300 - In addition to all the items of the £150 reward level, you will also receive the special unique display box of one of the three games (there is a reward level for each game, this is a completely unique item and only one is created per game batch... it will look along these lines, (not final design):

Here is the updated table of rewards:

Army Gals Cast

We are also happy in these final days of the campaign to show off the entire main cast of Army Gals, shown below. These include Shelton the camp counselor, the three main romance options, two mini-romanceable npcs and a mysterious man named Reed...

We still have the 'supernatural' character to create, who we look forward to showcasing after the campaigns end, quite soon. But first our artist is working on the second set of poses for the main romance options.

We hope you like the final cast, we will also be looking to give you more content on the other games of the campaign as we grow towards the campaigns conclusion.

New Reward & Hannah
almost 9 years ago – Thu, Feb 04, 2016 at 03:49:13 PM

Greetings backers,

First you may notice a small drop in our funding level, do not fear though this is because the high backer has decided to pledge via private means rather than through Kickstarter, which is something we only allow for extremely high pledges. We have therefore adjusted the reward levels to take this into account so the campaign rewards do not suffer...

New Rewards by Popular Demand

We have had a few requests privately and in comments for a new reward tier, that includes all of the digital rewards of the campaign without the physical editions included. Since there seems to be a growing interest in this because of the Daki's we have granted this request and created a stand-alone reward level...

Reward Cost: £55
Name: Digital Rewards
This item is described as being stand alone, it only includes what it describes and it is not included in any higher or lower tiers that may refer to 'all of the above'. Essentially though it includes all digital items of the campaign, all games, all betas, bonus art, soundtracks and the dakimakura designs. No physical items included.

Hannah the Hiker

As we draw very close to the £9,000 reward level which will see the bonus artwork for Summer Fling funded, we thought you could all do with a look at the latest design from our artist, of Hannah the Hiker for Army Gals.

With Hannah completed our artist is now working on Army Gals 'camp counselor' Shelton. More art for Summer Fling will be posted when we achieve the £9k goal.

Hannah the Hiker
almost 9 years ago – Thu, Feb 04, 2016 at 10:17:14 AM

Thanks to a revised estimate from the agency that will be dealing with the voice acting selection for the game, the stretch goals have been altered ever so slightly. 

Which means we are now over half way to the next stretch goal, which as mentioned will give us the aforementioned professional voice acting for the NPCs of the game... We can do it, but in the mean time here is another minor NPC that will make a cute appearance...

Hannah

This work in progress character will be a brief chance encounter within the game. She is a Hiker who got separated from her friends and... Well I won't give the game away, but it may involve a hole or a well or an open mine shaft of some kind.

I look forward to bringing you more character art soon.
