    There's a brand new JRPG on kickstarter right now called Alzara: Radiant Echoes and it was funded within 48 hours! I had the great opportunity to interview Emma, the creative director of Studio Camelia (the developer of Alzara) to discuss the development of this game, what exactly goes into putting a game on kickstarter, and why she decided jump ship from some of the bigger game developers to pursue her dream.
