Seeking Support for Trixels Technology and Kickstarter Campaign
Renaud Bédard, Lead Programmer of Trixels Technology, is exploring funding options for the innovative Trixels project, which is similar to voxels but distinct in technology. To proceed, written permission from Polytron is essential to avoid legal issues. A successful Kickstarter campaign is identified as the best avenue for funding, drawing on the proven success of prior campaigns, like the Ouya console. However, support from Xbox Live and a positive reception from the Xbox Live Arcade committee are critical for project viability. Collaboration and backing from the gaming community will be crucial for success.
