The Kickstarter is over, but crowdfunding is not
Designer Richard Garriott and Portalarium’sShroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtuesended its Kickstarter drive this weekend. It was a success, though we’ve known it would befor a while now.
The role-playing game doubled its base funding goal of $1 million by bringing in $1,919,275on Kickstarterand an additional $150,000 and countingthrough its official site. “We will be listening to [backers] as we go about making the kind of fantasy RPG that I really enjoyed making in the earlier part of my career,” said Garriott. “But this is really only the start. We will continue to keep our own crowd funding store open to bring in more funds to help us add even more features to the game.”
$2 million might sound like a lot, but it isn’t for a game of this scope. Heck,Shroud of the Avatarisn’t expected to launch until next year, to put things in perspective. Did you support this one?
