Naomi Iwata has announced that there will be a Gregory Horror Show Soul of Roses Kickstarter campaign in order to raise support and awareness among English speaking fans! Per information that has been released so far, the campaign will be focusing on an English translation of Soul of Roses as well as finishing a 1 minute 3DCG pilot that was included in the stretch goals of the original Campfire campaign. The Kickstarter launch date is to be announced, but if you have a Kickstarter account then you can sign up to be notified!
The Kickstarter campaign is described as a double campaign with two major goals. One major goal is an English localization of the Soul of Roses game which was already funded via the Japanese-based crowdfunding platform Campfire. The second major goal is the production of a pilot film for a new animation series featuring Hell's Chef.
Please note that the campaign is for production of both projects, but rewards are categorized as either Game or Film. This means that there are rewards exclusive to each category. For example, the ¥10,000 Game tier includes a Soul of Roses download key. However, it does not include the pilot film and model data included in the ¥10,000 Film tier. The reverse is also true. At this time you can only pledge once per Kickstarter account, and there are currently no add-on options. Please review each reward package carefully before pledging!
Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing crowdfunding platform. In other words, if the project does not meet its goal then no funds will be withdrawn and this part of Gregory Horror Show will not go forward. Please consider pledging within your means, and remember that there is always a Support tier that includes no rewards but allows you to contribute a smaller amount.
