Todo o nada

Finished

In the city of Cádiz, its Old Town, we will get to know the neighborhood of La Viña, a very particular space, a microcosm with its own personality within the city. And in it, the family formed by Mariló and Chano, along with their children Carli and Kiko. We will learn about their stories, problems, events from the past that still hurt the soul and an event that, years ago, put the entire city in check, causing chaos in its streets. SALITRE is a carnival, oyster stone, La Caleta beach, the east wind and a memory that brings to mind a sky that is stained red ...

About the project

Have you never walked the streets of the La Viña neighborhood? In its cobblestones, its walls lined with oyster stone are carved a thousand and one stories. Cradle of the Cadiz carnival, an art that is passed from generation to generation. Its neighbors coexist as if beyond the beach of La Caleta, the nerve center for your enjoyment when summer arrives, the city is ending. Place of placid waters, where time seems to stop while we observe the kids who, pulling equal parts of courage and unconsciousness, jump into the sea from the Canal Bridge.

CHARACTER DESIGN

 

FORECAST OF DEVELOPMENT AND CONDITIONS OF THE CAMPAIGN:

GENERAL

We know the kind of effort it takes to do a good job, and both the author and Spaceman Project are prepared. We love this medium and we want to take it to another level where the readers, authors, and the booksellers are the protagonists. It is because of that that we have taken the small details into account and adjusted the fundraising goal for what we’re offering.

This is an all or nothing campaign model. In order for the project to become a reality we need to reach 100% of the goal. The length of the campaign will last 30 days but can be extended by 7 more days if the project reaches 50% of its goal before the end of the month.  As the publisher, Spaceman Project, can make contributions to the campaign to boost or complete the goal at its own discretion. As is customary, an announcement will be made public if this happens.

Printing / 5 to 10 weeks for printing.

Deliveries / it will take between 2 and 6 weeks after the books have been received to be sent to the backers.

*Spaceman Project is not responsible for delays in the creation as this is the author’s commitment to the backers. In the case that the work is not finished, the author is directly responsible for refunding the backers. 

All illustrations presented in this campaign are provisional and are subject to change once the goal has been reached, and work on the project commences. This is only applicable to the cover images for the most part, not to the story, the format of the work, nor the rewards being offered. Obviously, we are presenting a work that is in progress and under development. Creativity has no limits and we are confident that we will not stop improving, and as such, we have made a commitment to quality with our readers.

While the project is being created, the authors are responsible for issuing updates and keeping the backers informed. Once the materials have been delivered to Spaceman, the publisher will be in charge of informing the backers about each of the next steps (Editing/ Production/ Warehouse arrival/ shipment of packages).
