[PAID] Looking for Indie Game Marketing / Kickstarter Support for Narrative JRPG

Hi!

I'm currently developing an indie game called God's Dungeon, a narrative JRPG that combines Visual Novel-style storytelling, life simulation, exploration and turn-based combat.

The game follows the protagonist through different stages of his life and focuses heavily on character development, daily-life progression and story.

Visually, the project uses a monochrome manga-inspired style, manga-panel cinematics, hand-drawn frame-by-frame 2D animation for combat and 3D environments for exploration.

The project is currently being developed toward a Vertical Slice. The full script is complete, the main gameplay systems are implemented, and I'm currently working on animation, 3D environments, cinematics and audio.

I'm looking for someone with experience in indie game marketing who can help me prepare the project for a future Kickstarter campaign and commercial launch.

I'm especially interested in help with Steam wishlist strategy, Kickstarter and crowdfunding preparation, community building, social media strategy, creator and influencer outreach, press outreach, content planning, pre-launch marketing strategy, and paid advertising strategy/testing.

At this stage, I'm mainly looking for an initial strategy or consultation phase, with the possibility of continuing into a longer paid collaboration as the Vertical Slice gets closer to completion.

I'd prefer to work with someone who has experience specifically with indie games, Steam, Kickstarter, crowdfunding campaigns, or game community growth.

If you're interested, please send your portfolio or website, games or campaigns you've worked on, what your role was in those projects, any measurable results you can share, your rates, your availability, and what services you would recommend for a project at this stage.

Project status: In development / Vertical Slice in production

Platform: PC / Steam

Thanks!

Hi! I saw your post about God's Dungeon — the monochrome manga style with hand-drawn combat animation sounds like a striking pitch for a Kickstarter page.

A quick honest introduction: I'm an indie developer myself (4 titles shipped on Google Play under O2cool168) and I run Zebonastic, a gaming content platform where I write articles, produce video explainers, and create short-form promotional content (YouTube Shorts) for gaming/AI topics — you can check it out here: [https://sethbrowngaming-rgb.github.io/Websites/portfolio/]. I haven't run a Kickstarter campaign for someone else's game yet, so I want to be upfront about that rather than overstate it.

What I can offer: content planning, social media strategy, and creator-style short-form video content, plus a genuine understanding of what makes indie devs and their audiences tick, since I'm building and marketing my own games too.

If you're open to starting with a smaller initial strategy/consultation piece — Steam page and wishlist positioning, or a content plan for pre-launch — I'd love to talk rate and scope for that first, since it's a lower-risk way for both of us to see if it's a fit before anything bigger. Let me know what budget you're working with for the early phase and I can tailor a proposal.

Thanks for the read — excited about the project either way!
