I made Chibi Knight 1, and have been chipping away at the sequel for a while. I'm finally kicking things into gear to finish it off, and I need your help and support to make the final push!

Here's the story I've written up so far. This is the first time it's been posted publically!
=============== Every hero faces 2 paths...his choices decide his fate.
After Monocchio's defeat, his spirit and all-seeing eye were banished to the dark realm forever. Or so the inhabitants of Oukoku thought...
3 years after his defeat, Monocchio's remaining minions began a ploy to summon their master back to the light realm. Two groups rose up to prevent the return of Monocchio.
The Sorcery Clan from the island of Mahou pooled their formidable collection of magic spells and pushed the uprising to the brink of defeat, but at the final moment General Tso reached into the fiery dark realm and unleashed a spell so black it incinerated the eyes of every sorcerer in Oukoku. While the knowledge of Mahoun magic remains in their minds, the sorcerers are unable to execute the intricate eye movements necessary to use their magic. Rumors have since begun to circulate about a youth who will redeem Mahoun magic by learning their most potent spells and defeating General Tso.
After General Tso's victory, Oukoku mourned the loss of its sorcerers. The Beastmasters, long hidden in the Yajuu mountains, broke their 100 year separation from Oukoku and mounted their own attack on General Tso. Using their close connection with animal life, they fiercly dominated Tso's armies and let their beasts feast on the battle remains. In a dastardly move, General Tso poisoned the Yajuu beasts' food supply, thus eliminating decades of specialized training and defeating the Beastmasters' gambit. In shame, they retreated back into the Yajuu mountains with their proverbial tails between their legs. Shortly thereafter, the Yajuu Seers predicted that only one who could master the ways of the Beastmasters and summon the mysterious "Hebi" beast could defeat general Tso.
General Tso, hidden near the Kazangan volcano range, now seeks to complete his plan to bring about the return of the evil Monocchio. ==================
Basically, I want to make the player decide between specializing as a magician or as a beastmaster. Which is an un-revoke-able decision and seriously affects the way the rest of the game plays out.
Ask me anything you like about the game and I'll try to reply in a reasonable amount of time.
I don't know if this has been previously mentioned but I think being able to spend your lvl up points by choice... I thought it was kind of weird that you could pick what to upgrade
Controls will likely be customizable. You can pick what you upgrade, you just can't go back and choose something once you've skipped it to save up for something higher.
So this is basically the same awesome game play/ fighting mechanics from the first game, combined with a new free roam mechanics, where the entire game is in 2D platformer mode?
Add a secret area that's hidden. Like in Chibi knight 1 the healing witches' house (but a bit better hidden). It should have a special boss and unique weapons. I would also like to see crafting implemented in the game.
Are you gonna make it so its like the chibi knight in the first game gets married and has the kid and the big eyeball comes back from hell and tries to have revenge on the world.
"Are you gonna make it so its like the chibi knight in the first game gets married and has the kid and the big eyeball comes back from hell and tries to have revenge on the world."
More or less. You can read the story in my original post.
"how much will it cost to buy?" Unknown until it gets Greenlit. I'm guessing the game will probably cost like 3-5 bucks on Steam, sorry if this RUINS THE SERIES!
I am really glad to see chibi knight going big. I loved the first game and played it to the end. I am happy for you and the fan base. Personally, I am disappointed, because the price, (if measly) makes the game innaccessable to some players and less appealing to others. Also, I had not even heard of steam until now. I fear I will find the game innaccessable, or at least less appealing then the wide range of free games on the internet. I hope that after the original release, the hype will die down so it can be re-released on Armor Games. Is this a possibility, or am I gonna have to get steam just so I can play this?
