The time has come for our Kickstarter to end and we've decided to cancel the campaign a little early.   Read our full farewell here!  Join our mailing list to receive an update when we relaunch our next Kickstarter! Patreon is here to help! If you still love Desperate Endeavors and want to help, we've created a Patreon which is sort of like an on-going Kickstarter where you can donate to the project and help the re-launch with advertising costs as well as lowering the second Kickstarter's overall goal. We've also made a Discord server where you can connect with others who love the project and with us to ask questions and get updates about the game. Thank you once again for all of your interest and support, we're ready to continue working on Desperate Endeavors! Warm wishes from everyone here at KnK GameStudio and we wish you a marvelous Holiday season. - Kayla & Katy ❤

Guys! We’re so excited!!

🎃 Our Q&A Halloween Live-stream Special is here! 🎃

It’ll be from 5:00 to 8:00 pm CDT (Austin, TX) time on Halloween night @ Twitch.tv/knkgamestudio!

We’ll be carving pumpkins, hosting a Q&A, doing dares, announcing our contest winners, telling spooky stories and more!

Dares will consist of things such as wearing Mayonnaise gloves for 20 minutes, being forced to dab every time you speak or calling someone ‘Master’ while feeding them a grape every time they snap their fingers!

If someone forgets or fails to preform one of the dares they’ll lose a point!

The person with the least amount of points at the end of the night will be forced to dress up in what can only be described as a MONSTROSITY of a costume and will have glitter dumped on them.

We’ll see you there!

✧･ﾟ: * 🎃 HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 🎃 *:･ﾟ✧

- Kayla & Katy P.S. - Winners for our $50 Amazon Giftcard Giveaway Contest will be chosen 10-31-18 by 7:00PM Central Daylight Time and announced LIVE so don't miss it!

Hello, on your Kickstarter Page you mentioned In-App-Puchases once the game will be released. What kind/sort of In-App-Purchases are we talking about? I don't want to back a game, where I have to spend additional money afterwards so that I can progress through the story I want to read. Lots of mobile otome have systems where they force you to spend time & money at hideous checkpoints with dress up, gacha lotteries or some kind of ingame currency that you can purchase with rlmoney only.

Hey there! Thank you for your question! Katy and I have played a LOT of these games you’ve mentioned and we’ve encountered the same problem(s). Pay-to-win games with annoying checkpoints and no way to progress without paying for the next chapter etc. So we’ve decided to make our game free for everyone to download and free to play the ENTIRE story all the way through. The only in-app purchases Desperate Endeavors will have are for extra/bonus scenes. What does that mean, exactly?Desperate Endeavors offers extra scenes you can purchase that enhance the dating-sim experience of the game, without hindering the story if you can’t afford them. For example, you’ll have the option to spend a tender moment with a character for some extra dough, or skip that bonus scene and continue with the story. DE will also have short mini games that will allow you to rack up coins that you can use to purchase these bonus scenes without paying out of pocket for them!- Kayla

Will there be a demo released soon? Because I think it'd help with the funding of your Kickstarter a lot. I, for example, am VERY hesitant about backing something that I can't even see for myself yet. :I It's nothing personal, it's just that I've been burnt with too many Kickstarter that suddenly stopped updating and vanished into thin air...

Glad you asked! We’re actually planning on releasing the demo during the Kickstarter! This is our first KS project so our timing might be a little off-track compared to other projects but don’t worry- you won’t miss it! Long before our KS due date we’ll be posting a playable demo for all to enjoy. Thank you for your interest and support and we hope to entertain you soon! - Kayla

hey! im curious why you guys only want to release the game on pc during the kickstarter? thats blocking out a massive chunk of the target audience for dating sims! id love to support this game but only being offered a limited-time, physical copy in order to play it on pc is rough :(

Hey there! Thank you so much for your question and interest! :D Kay here- unfortunately the game isn’t finished yet! We’ve turned to Kickstarter for help in funding the completion of the game.The physical CD will be the last tier prize mailed out to backers once the game is complete. The CD is only for people who want to own the whole game on CD (with all the spicy bonus content unlocked) to play and keep in their physical collection.The CD will also come with mini comics and extra materials :) When complete, the final game will be available for everyone for FREE on iOS and Android and (if the stretch goal is reached) it’ll be available on Steam as well! If you have more questions we’d love to hear them and we super appreciate your interest in the project! ^__^ Have a great weekend! -Kayla
