Uber shuts down Human Resources Kickstarter

Uber Entertainment's Kickstarter campaign for Human Resources has been shut down, after the studio admitted that their next game would likely come up "woefully short" of its original goal.

Uber's John Comes wrote: "The time has come to shut down the Kickstarter for Human Resources. Every Kickstarter prediction model is showing that we will come up woefully short of our goal." 

"Running a Kickstarter is a full time job for several people. As a small indie, we can't continue spending time and money focusing on a project that won't get funded. We simply don't have the human resources."

That doesn't mean that all hope is being abandoned, but it does mean their vision as advertised on Kickstarter will not come to pass.

Comes added: "Who knows what the future holds for Human Resources? One thing is for sure, Human Resources, as pitched in this Kickstarter, is over. But we adore the world of Human Resources and will endeavor to do what we can to bring it to life in some form."

Human Resources attracted nearly $385k of a target closer to $1.4 million before it was cancelled. The studio's previous game, Planetary Annihilation, was successfully funded via Kickstarter.
