Crowfall MMO Kickstarter campaign begins

 

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-02-24-crowfall-mmo-kickstarter-campaign-begins

 

This is the game I wrote excitedly about recently (and I'll write more about very soon). It's an MMO where players fight other players on procedurally generated server-sized worlds that, over the course of months, eventually die.

 

But characters don't die, they persist. They live in an Eternal Kingdom worlds. However, if characters there want resources then they have to fight on the dying worlds for them. And the more resources you have, the more power in the Eternal Kingdoms you have. There's a fealty political hierarchy in play.

    I like this line.

    "We jokingly call [Crowfall] internally the unholy love child of Game of Thrones, Eve Online and Shadowbane,"

    If they can pull this off, I have found my home for years to come.

    130k already, the hype train certainly rolling fast.

    They were smart about how they approached it.  Built the hype ahead of time.  I can see this one getting $2 million+.

    Too much of a risk and not enough reason given to back early.

    Eurogamer is a trash website.

    Why not link to a good, early review, by someone from MMORPG.com?

    And im done with kickstarters.

    There was quite a bit of internal investment for the Kickstarter. They did this to jumpstart the process.

    Who can say no to free money?

    Prediction was spot on.

    50% of our target in less than 1 day!

    Posted by ArtCraft Entertainment, Inc.

    Wow. I have no words.  

    Well, OK. Maybe a few words.  

    Our Kickstarter began this morning at 7am CST, and we announced it (with a press release, and a post here) an hour later. In just 10 hours, we are already 50% of the way to our goal. That's $400,000. For those of you keeping track at home.  

    I'm not sure how to express what we are feeling right now. Stunned? Giddy? Flattered? Floored by your vote of confidence?  

    All of that. More. We are so thankful to each and every one of you. You have come out of the gate with a strong message: YES, we believe in your vision. YES, we want to be a part of this. YES, we will support you.  

    From all of us at ArtCraft, from me and Gordon personally: Thank you. Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for giving us a chance to build this game for you.  

    50% down, 50% to go.  

    We can do this, together. Call the banners. Spread the word.

    It's About Time.

    Sure, they'll hit the goal but you can score the $50 box for a $30 or $40 pledge. If anything, do it to save the money if you plan on trying it out anyway.
