Day For Night Games, the studio that formed following to dissolution of Irrational Games, have written an open letter to fans after their Kickstarter campaign finished well short of their required target.
The campaign attracted pledges of more than $200k, but that was much less than the desired total of $550k needed to bring their proposed game - The Black Glove - to market.
"We mean to fight like hell to keep it from being cancelled. We believe in the game and you all have shown you do, too," said studio co-founder Joe Fielder. "We've received a lot of questions on whether we planned on immediately starting up another fundraising campaign for The Black Glove at a lower fundraising goal."
"We asked for the total we needed to guarantee that we could self-publish the game within a year with 6+ hours worth of content for $20. If we turned around immediately and asked for less without having secured the rest of the funds necessary, we wouldn't be able to guarantee our Kickstarter backers that we could deliver the game," he continued.
"We're pursuing all options. We're beginning to talk to all the publishers who have reached out over the last few weeks. We have a few other ideas, as well. It may be weeks or months before we have news to report, but we intend to be back with more as soon as possible."
