Rocketboat - The Game is currently being developed primarily by a small team of dedicated volunteers. As of now, we do not have investors or a publisher and are relying solely on the backing of fans and volunteers for both promotion and continued development.
Our goal is to create a game that mixes the nostalgia and timeless formulas of classic retro games with the appeal and possibilities of modern computer processing. Not only do we wish to create a game that is both fun and visually appealing, we are also attempting to create a work of art that is both thought-provoking and subversive.
In a world full of growing inequality, environmental degradation, and social instability, we are aiming to shine light on some of these issues by offering people a perspective they might not have otherwise considered. That said, even though we intend to be as satirical as possible, our number one priority is to create a fun and challenging game that everyone can enjoy.
Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux versions of our pilot will be made available as a freeware download. Beyond this initial release, we have much planned and a lot of pre-production has already taken place.
Things ANYONE can do to help us out:
Step 1 - Connect
Step 2 - Share
Step 3 - Donate
Though the development team has been able to get a considerable amount accomplished via its own means, to truly realize the complete vision of this project will require money for both promotion and for any future outsourced contract work. Since we do not currently have any sort of external funding, we are limited to how much we can invest.
So please, if you support what we’re doing, feel free to send a contribution to our PayPal account. One dollar? Five? Twenty? Any amount is extremely helpful and appreciated. :)
