Has not connected their Facebook account.
Escapement Studios is dedicated to developing unique and inspiring video games. We’re brimming with ideas, but have limited funding. After making In The Dark, we'll be well on our way to producing many other innovative games in a wide range of gaming genres.
Oops, ignore below comment, wrong game. XD
It was sad this game didn't make it.
If the goal is set at $10K for this, but the Linux version requires $20K, how do you think Linux users feel about supporting this project? Maybe there should be a separate project Linux users can pledge to for the Linux version. Also, I don't understand why Windows + Mac + core game development cost $10K, and just Linux support alone without the actual game development cost $10K. That makes absolutely no sense.
@Tom: Why would anyone want someone to take their money but give nothing back in return?
Any thought to try this again on IndieGoGo? With that site, you don't have to make it to the goal to keep the money. And they seem to be sincerely lacking in quality gaming projects.
Really hoping to play ItD:PPB in the future!
Hey, Hope you don't loose faith in this project and that you will continue with it. At least you know there is plenty of supportive people dying to play this game.
I haz a sad. I was so looking forward to playing this.
bummers :(
Can't you (the developers) donate the remaining, and make this campaign successful? I'd hate to see all this effort & the pledges go to waste.
I've dropped a post on the quakecon forums that I help administrate. (qconforums.org) too bad there isn't another couple of days left.
It´s a great project mark. We are in this same battle with our project The Light of the Darkness. Its should be a lot of easier to get a opportunity for projects like what we are working. But unfortunate, the that is not the way the things are. You must go on even if the funding was not success.
My apologies, the Reddit link is: http://redd.it/jsulj
Hey, if you are a backer and use Reddit, please go and leave a comment on my post here: http://redd.it/jsu8g (upvotes also appreciated). Maybe if this game gets a bit of attention there, it might get some quick funding.
ooh! I d like to play this! Only heard about it today though.. :/
Looks like a fun puzzle game!
yay, i wanted to be the 100th donor, come on people... this will be a fun game to play !
need more G4B2S regulars to see this, support Ryuusan in his new venture :P
I donates! :D (<BAD>[G4B2S]Kookee here)
Good job guys! I like the story (I've always been attracted by strange monsters from childhood nightmares, and the idea of coming back to the imagination of childhood is a fantastic choice!), I like the graphics (awesome, I love it!), I like the game type (2D puzzle platformer are the best for me (except point-and-click) - in fact, one of my favourite game is Braid), I like the unique gameplay (wow, light like solid?), I like Bump, I like the intro video. Really, I like very much your game. Hope you find all the money you need, 'cause I want to see your fantastic game even on my Android phone!
Can't wait to play this. It looks fantastic, keep up the hard work, Mark and Team!
*Tally my vote for a Bump hat in TF2*
Cheers~
This looks like it'll be awesome! I'm always excited when I see a game which uses the power of modern computers to provide new and unique gameplay, rather than just to brag about having linear, brown environments which are more detailed than that of the next game.
Loved the intro video! Super pumped to see that a Linux version is planned as well as a level editor. Just turning my want into a demand by tossing a small pledge your way.
