I really want this game to have custom, commissioned art for each fighter - at present I'm not in a situation to make that happen, but I'm excited about the game and want other people to see it. Those that buy it at the reduced price while it's itchfunding will get access to all future updates to the core rules, as well as helping me make the game I want to make a reality, character art and all.
I would say the goal I've set is an optimisitic one, both in the amount I would need to create the game in addition to paying artists and in achievability but hey, it's worth a shot, right?
