I am GENUINELY concerned about the progress of Questlings at the moment. A final script is ready, but I don't have any financing to kick off even the final storyboards and model pack at the moment.

Got any ideas?

The character below is what I wanna be for Halloween this year, fellas.
If you don't know who he is, it's Phil the Dolphin from Big Blue. He's wearing a sailors hat with medium sized eyes, a fin, and a one piece outfit(?).

Just to Clarify:

QUESTLINGS THE MOVIE IS NOT BASED ON THE RPG OF THE SAME NAME. It is truly our own original property.

I've only heard about the RPG just recently

Met lots of cool people and had great conversation on Day 2 of UCon! During down time, I've been able to read through some of table-mate Steph's TTRPG books; all of them were fantastic, but I was particularly impressed with the design and introduction of Fabula Ultima. So many games, so little time!
A slender white hand holds the following books. The first is Questlings RPG by Banana Chan and Tim Devine. The cover art features the background of a twenty-sided die and a table around which are gathered several child characters next to their inner heroes: a paladin, a mage, a druid, a monk, and a ranger. The second is Tiny Tome. The cover has a white background with a logo that's a sword with a paperclip blade. The third is Fabula Ultima TTJRPG: Press Start. The cover features art of a young anime-style inventor on an airship overlooking a verdant floating island with a castle and a waterfall. A slender white hand holds the following books.
