Here is a link to the Kickstarter website for Neal Stephenson's still-in-development sword fighting game that was mentioned in class last week. I can't believe that someone is actually doing what my cousin and I have talked about since we were in elementary school. He used Kickstarter to gather the funds to hire nerds and develop a more realistic motion controlled sword fighting game. The site has several humorous videos in which Neal explains the goal of the project. I don't know how successful this project will be, but if anyone could make it happen I think it would be this guy.

I was really excited about this when I first saw it. It seems really awesome. Plus, I love kickstarter.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Kickstarter is such a great way for indie developers to create something like this which has a rather limited market. I've heard of other Kickstarters for virtual reality systems and lots of other really cool nerdy stuff that probably won't work very well, haha. I think this CLANG game will probably be fun even if it doesn't turn out as well as they hope.
ReplyDeleteIf they can figure out the technical side of things I think it has a huge potential. At the very least I'm going to be looking into the books.
