Cancelled but not dead ...
The project will be self funded and start as early access on steam in the future ..

It seems harder and harder to get video game projects funded on Kickstarter. Their presentation was fine and the trailer looks good imo, but the successful campaigns now seem to require lot traction from PR, media attention or advertising. I've seen many solid projects fail just because of lack of preparation or insufficient means to reach their audience and build hype. We'll see how they recover from this blow!

There is lot of sandbox games already.
Perhaps new models less generic would do more traction, lot of players are sensible to graphics.



Well, you can polish the project and make another kickstarter , some people succeed like that.
Selling it on Steam indeed will have lot more exposure and more chance to success , and better income even with Steam taking a percentage.

These days you need a good 6 months advertising. Promoting, maybe getting a demo out and then a kickstarter ...
There are so many now you need a following really before you start ..
