Garvylle's World, The Game that nearly killed its Developer

I have been working on a game for about a year and a half, this demo is that game (Garvylle's World).

it's supposed to be openworld, you play as joe the miner, you fall into a cavern and discover a city of gemstones haunted by gemstone people. with various weapons you find throughout the gameworld, the ability to turn into a demon, and the choice to either leave the game early or kill the evil orc freeing the gem-people zombies which you yourself are responsible for their current state.

It is intended to have an advanced Ai and particle systems (BlindAI, and QESI). 

You can modify the pathways of the nodes during the games runtime and edit the AI.

you can get different weapons scattered throughout the worlds and the ais intelligence scaled with your difficulty level.

there's a skiprod component that lets you skip minigame puzzles if you find it and fish that jump out of the water just to mock you.

At the start of the game you're able to choose different difficulty modes which will change how the AI functions, and their intelligence.

Choosing different difficulty modes will also change your starting weapon and how much ammunition you begin with if you throughout the game you cannot collect new ammunition for the firearm you took with you but you can find different medieval weapons throughout the stages of the city.

Joe (you the player) are able to turn into a massive literal speed-demon and breeze through stages quickly in his demonic form.

the controls are smooth, and it is intended to have an advanced menuing system which uses hypertext, also cahngeable by modders.

it has a variety of mini-game puzzles within the game itself.

I have worked so hard on this game that it has given me an actual heart attack (or at least I believe i had one) a few days ago, and now at this point I've decided that I just can't work on it on on my own anymore. so I'm trying to raise at least 20k$ to hire out other people primarily software engineers and an artist, although my real goal is 60k$ and if I can't reach it, I'll contact Spiral Up or another publisher.
