If Revolution Software makes a million, we get the sequel
Revolution Software has received all the funding it needs to makeBroken Sword: The Serpent’s Curse. However, the team hasintroduced a range of extra stretch goals, including an entirely separate game. If the studio makes $1 million, it will not only makeSerpent’s Curse, it’ll doBeneath A Steel Sky 2as well.
I loveBeneath A Steel Sky. It’s weird, witty, and impossible to forget. You can evendownload it for free on GOGto see that I’m absolutely right.
It’s certainly an interesting way to greenlight a sequel, althoughour own Allistair Pinsoff believesit’s a rather sleazy tactic on par with what major publishers do. I’m on the fence about that, myself. I can see where he’s coming from, but I can also view this as a studio simply having found itself a spotlight and using that spotlight to gain enough money to afford two game projects instead of one.
It’s not like, say,holding an announced game to ransombyguilt-tripping folksinto buying something else.
In any case, I never thought I’d be able to type the wordsBeneath A Steel Sky 2with any serious belief that it could be a real thing, so this is a net win for me.
Hurrah! We made it! Time for stretch goals![Kickstarter]
