Unveiling Smokey's Rescue Team: A Cozy Journey from Concept to Kickstarter
Hello fellow gamers and animal lovers! It's an exciting time for us here at Else If Games as we embark on a heartfelt journey with the launch of our Kickstarter campaign for "Smokey's Rescue Team." I'm thrilled to share with you the story of how a passion for gaming, a commitment to creativity, and a dash of feline inspiration brought this heartwarming project to life.
A Tale of Love and Inspiration
The genesis of "Smokey's Rescue Team" was a heartwarming moment that remains etched in my memory. For my girlfriend's birthday, I gifted her a prototype of the game. This initial version featured a cat chasing a ball, enjoying its meals, and exploring the digital confines of her own home. The connection was instant—she was moved by the thoughtfulness and playfulness of the concept.
Emboldened by her reaction, I promised to transform the prototype into a fully-fledged game that would capture the essence of warmth and coziness. And thus, "Smokey's Rescue Team" was born, a homage to the bond between humans and their feline companions.
A Peek into "Smokey's Rescue Team"
The game currently only has one level - "Grandma's House." This nostalgic setting becomes a canvas for players to experience the joy of caring for cats that strangers leave at the doorstep. The player's role is to nurture these feline friends through activities such as petting, feeding, cleaning, and grooming.
Incorporating interactive toys like lasers, balls of yarn, and more, the gameplay is reminiscent of classic pet simulation games. But our aspirations don't end there. With additional funding, we intend to elevate the experience by introducing new toys like a playful mouse and reimagining the hi-bounce ball from the prototype.
As players tend to their virtual companions, a parallel financial aspect emerges. By matching cats with adopters, players earn the funds necessary to advance in the game. This creative blend of caregiving and resource management adds layers of engagement, ensuring every action holds meaning.
Embarking on a Kickstarter Adventure
Our journey has led us to the exciting launch of our Kickstarter campaign. With your support, we aim to infuse "Smokey's Rescue Team" with even more content, features, and that extra layer of magic. As a self-funded studio, every contribution takes us closer to realizing the game's full potential, enabling us to expedite development without compromising on creativity.
Collaboration has been key to our success so far. From partnering with skilled contractors for game development to enlisting the expertise of Baden Bower for advertising and branding, every element of this journey has been touched by the magic of teamwork.

As we traverse through uncharted territories in the gaming industry, I invite you to join us on this heartwarming adventure.
