I can't contribute financially at this time, is there another way I can help or contribute to the project?
Yes! Video game developement is a complicated and many faceted endeavor, and requires the work of a great number of individuals of varying talents. We are currently in need of 2D texture artists, digital scenery artists, concept work, 3D modellers, and video compositors. There is also an urgent need for musicians, whether performing in a group, or as an indivudial instrumentalist. Those with experience in generating electronic music and even midi files are encouraged to submit if they can. There will be more projects in the future so even if your work does not make it into Fling, anything you feel you could help out with would be greatly appreciated.
How do I make contributions if I have something other than financial aid to offer?

If you are able to make a financial donation through Kickstarter, there are several levels of rewards including a free special edition copy of the final game, Fling branded merchandise, and listing in the game credits. If you are able to contribute in another fashion such as artwork or music you will, at a minium, recieve a credit in the game. Depending on the quantity, quality, and number of actually accepted items, there may be compensation beyond basic game credits.
