The Story of Min

Cwerki Studios is a newly formed indie game studio founded by Daniel George Haddad. Shortly after competing in the Microsoft Imagine Cup 2011 World Finals - Daniel (Glenview Illinois) formed Cwerki Studios joined by Michael Taylor (Audio Design - United Kingdom), later joined by Max Cunningham (Artist - San Francisco), and then followed by a handful of other artists.


Since then we have all been hard at work on Cwerki's debut game, Min: A Space Adventure, a game we would like to release on the iOS, Mac, and PC starting with an episodic release of the game on the iOS by the end of this year.


The Impact

So far, Cwerki Studios has been funded primarily by Daniel himself but now we would like to take this further. Confident and very passionate about Min, we need help securing more money to help take this project further. This stage of funding will primarily go towards securing the artistic assets needed to build the first chapter of the game. 


We are focused on delivering a quality experience and the targeted money will help us do so. No matter how much we manage to secure, Min will remain under development but the experience as a whole may suffer as we will need to compromise based on the financing we have available. 


What We Need 

At this stage we are hoping to secure anywhere between 4000-8000$ which will primarily go towards building 2D and 3D assets for the game, securing better audio equipment, securing more voice talent, and helping us begin the promotional process for our game. 


We would like to release the first chapter of Min: A Space Adventure on the iOS by the end of 2011 or early 2012. This funding stage will help us insure we hit that deadline. The more money we make the better the first release will be, the less money we make the more we would need to compromise and push the deadline.


What You Get

In exchange for your financing we have a wonderful list of perks for you to benefit from that you can find bellow!


We will also offer exclusive skins, items, and upgrades for those who contribute that will be announced later provided we hit our targeted range. More information to come!
