SWIPER's Quest for The Play/App Store
<p>
<strong><u>My name is Stefan Tabakov, I am 16 years old and I am from Sofia, Bulgaria</u>.</strong> I love video games, programming, drawing, video and game design, dogs and lasagna. My passion is to learn more and more about technology and computers and I love creating my own programs and building computers from scratch, but my main passion all along have been video games.</p>

<u><strong>Summary.</strong></u></p>
<p>
After working on my first game for 9 months,</p>
<p>
I am finally ready to finish it. The game is for Android and IOS, a 2D addicting and fun game, called SWIPER. Since this is my first serious project of creating a mobile game, and I have worked day and night to complete it, I am extremely excited to have it ready to be published on the Google Play and Apple Stores! The game is made in UNITY 3D, personal edition, and written in C#.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<u><strong>What exactly have I done?</strong></u></p>
<p>
I have learned C# (programming language) and working with Unity (the game engine) by myself, from scratch!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
I have personally written all the code to this game, drawn all the artwork, animated it and put in audio. I have implemented ads, a global leaderboard, rewards for achieving high scores and much more.</p>
<p>

<u>Example of progression and unlocking new characters:</u></p>

<p>
</p>
<p>
<u><strong>However, on the road to achieving my goals stands a last obstacle!</strong></u> Both Play Store and App Store require a registration fee, in order to publish apps and games on the platforms.</p>

<u>Progressing to a higher level:</u></p>

<p>
<em><u><strong>The required amount to become a Google Play Developer is 25 EUR and for the App Store, it is 99 EUR. </strong></u></em></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<u><strong>Why I need the money?</strong></u></p>
<p>
In order to continue with the development of the game (Make the leaderboard global, include achievements, include options for sharing on social media, etc) I am required to have a Google Play Developer account, which costs 25 EUR. The Developer account is also needed for releasing the game on the Play Store.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Furthermore for releasing the game on the App Store, another 99EUR is required.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong><u>What will I do with the rest of the money?</u></strong></p>
<p>
I will purchase a UNITY PLUS license, which will significantly expand my tool set for SWIPER and future project that I will create. A paid license for UNITY 3D provides a lot of features that the free one, which I am currently using, does not.</p>
<p>

<p>
</p>
<p>
<u><strong>The remainder if the money (176 EUR) will be used to purchase the monthly license, which will be enough for 5 months. </strong></u></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<u><strong>Any money that exceeds my goal will go towards paying for the license for a longer period of time.</strong></u></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The project has been started 9 months ago, and will finish only with your help!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<em><u><strong>THIS IS WHY I NEED YOU!</strong></u></em></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<u><strong>All the money will be received by me, Stefan Tabakov, and used for paying for the Play Store & App Store and for the UNITY PLUS license!</strong></u></p>
