Cyan is entering the crowdfunding market
Out of all of the studios and developers gaining a second life via Kickstarter, it’s honestly surprised me that it’s taken this long for Cyan to get in the game. The developers behind the seminalMystare looking to fundObduction, a new IP that will draw on some of the same themes from the adventure game classic that’s celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.
In the video above, Rand Miller cites a lack of enthusiasm from publishers and the desire to stay totally independent. Cyan is looking to raise $1.1 million to completeObduction. That’s a lot of money for any developer to ask for but they are looking to release the game in mid-to-late 2015, so that’s almost a two-year development cycle which isn’t going to be cheap.
Still, the team have raised over $325,000 so far in just 24 hours, so I wouldn’t be surprised to seeObductionhit its goal.
