Hello frens,

This proposal is for funding of the next two versions of Gotchi Battler. Usually, each version is funded separately, but as Season 9 is already upon us we’re going to do more of a tick-tock release cycle where we’ll do a smaller release focused on the web app and game balance for season 9 in October, then a bigger release focused on the Unity app for season 10 in January.

I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has provided feedback over the last couple of months. It’s been amazing to see how engaged and passionate you all are about the game, and I hope that this proposal reflects that feedback and the direction you all want to see Gotchi Battler go in!
