Struggling studio Gas Powered Games has pulled their Kickstarter campaign for Wildman, although they've yet to reveal any specific details as to why.
The studio's fate looks increasingly uncertain, after staff were laid off last month, although the campaign remained online, as the company desperately tried to keep pushing forward.
The campaign was due to end on February 15, but given that the project wasn't even half funded, it didn't look good for the game. Perhaps its withdrawal was a pre-emptive strikem, but we'll have to wait for confirmation on that.
On the Kickstarter page, an apology was issued to backers:
Greetings Kickstarters.
We have some news today. We are cancelling the Wildman Kickstarter.
At this point, it makes sense for us to focus our attention on other ways to keep Gas Powered Games running. Unfortunately, we are unable to share any specifics in public. When we have news to share, we will be posting it on our site. If you want status updates, or if you want to continue discussing Wildman and/or this Kickstarter, please consider migrating over to forums.gaspowered.com.
We are profoundly grateful to those of you who backed this project and Gas Powered Games. Your passion and hard work put us in a position to write this exciting new chapter in the history of GPG.
