Thank you to everyone who donated, shared, supported, etc! They made their goal!



Campaign page: www.kickstarter.com/projects/d…

The following ad contains action, fighting, combat, modern fantasy, mystery, spies and spooky conspiracy theories which combine with cold war spy stories as well as modern fantasy anime and Asian action cinematography. This creates an amazing product.



With characters designed by veteran anime character designer and animation director Senbon Umishima(Black Bullet, She and her cat, Attack on Titan), "Abyssian Knights" is a brand new IP produced by Dev Null Studios, a former clandestine development studio specializing in console game development, animation tools and digital interactive entertainment.

The animated series is an Asian action film with anime aesthetics and a storyline inspired by conspiracy theories, cold war spy stories and prohibition era gangster tales.

The Kickstarter campaign needs $0.00 to fund the production of two webisodes with stretch goals to fund additional content.

The synopsis:

The beautiful, port city of Heavensfall holds a secret. Aria DaCappa has the perfect life as a student in the city and partying with her childhood friend, Edouard "Derp" Derpiene. However, when she finds a weathered Soul Crystal in her cellar, she begins to realize that things are not quite as they seem in her family. An initiation into a society of secrets leaves Aria with some startling questions about her past, and she sets off to old-fashioned Heavensfall to find some answers.

At first the people of Heavensfall are helpful and energetic. She is intrigued by the mysteriously cold bartender, Tatiana Kraslichnaya. However, after she is introduced to Angel Dust, Aria slowly finds herself drawn into a web of demonic worship, deception and assassination.Can Aria resist the draw of Angel Dust and uncover the secret of the weathered Soul Crystal before it’s too late, or will her demise become yet another Heavensfall legend?

Hey folks,

It's been a while!

Don't know how many of you actually followed this project but it's still moving along, although slower than originially projected.

To celebrate the one year anniversary of the Kickstarter, the team and I have put together a revised version of the original Kickstarter demo. It utilizes the current pipeline and some new assets to better represent what the final product will look like. The animations for the most part are the original bits of animation from our old mocap setup so it's not quite as clean as our new setup which features body and facial motion capture.

Anyways, here's the video.

In case anyone is interested in supporting the project, the Kickstarter is over but we now have an Indiegogo Indemand campaign going for it located here: igg.me/at/abyssianknights/x/15…

Cheers,

Budd
