Hi there :)

My name is Marc, I am the developer of the indie game project called Ama's Lullaby. Let me show you what it is about, I think that some features may interest you.

Ama's Lullaby is an adventure game in the style of Westwood Studios' Blade Runner (1997), featuring a command-line based hacking system.

The game is developed by me.
The target platforms are PC, Mac & Linux.
The release is planned for Spring 2019.

The project is now live on Kickstarter, from February 8 to March 25: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1005143815/amas-lullaby-a-point-and-click-game-in-a-cyberpunk

The story

After the announcement of a potential impact between Earth and an asteroid, a space mission of colonization lead by an AI brings a young computer-science prodigy called Ama to the 1st colony on another planet. This place was built by machines for human beings. Ama has designed this AI together with her father and is now an ambassador of the human race. She’s being protected by her artificial creature. But when she finds out the actual reason of her presence in this colony, and notices the strange behaviour of its inhabitants, her world suddenly falls apart.

The game

Ama's Lullaby is a point-and-click video game taking place in a cyberpunk environment. Playing the role of Ama, a high potential teenager who loves computer sciences, you will explore the colony, meet its human and non-human inhabitants, negociate with the AI and make decisions that will impact directly the course of events. Thanks to Ama’s programming talent, you will be able to hack any network of the city, gather information, steal confidential data to use them for your own purposes, disclose them or even blackmail people. But be careful : every action will have consequences on the story, and you will become an easy prey once you identity is unveiled.
The game development will focus mainly on high-quality visual atmospheres and soundscapes dialogues and interactions between characters, as well as on replayability: every new game session offering a (truly) different experience.

It certainly looks cool. But 20k doesn't seem like much of a development budget. Especially considering a release is over two years away.

But a Blade Runner style point and click sounds like a very good source of inspiration. Unfortunately, kickstarter won't allow me to donate.

With ma job (2 days per week - I'm a 3D teacher), the budget is over 20k. Furthermore, working alone allows me to have almost no costs (in France when you have an employee for 30k/year, it costs you 60k...). I can't do that. But yes it's a huge challenge, I know that I'll have to work all the time.

What's the problem with Kickstarer? Are you black listed? Is it relative to the payment method?

It is. Kickstarter is credit card only, which I don't have (or need).

If you have a Paypal account, you can get a virtual credit card for free (I have not tried it yet, but a backer asked me about it). Apparently you can use it online anywhere you can use a Mastercard. I found this post about it:
