The Scoundrels Guild - 2nd Kickstarter Failed

by Couchpotato, 2015-01-06 05:13:05

Well it seems developer Adam Mayhem had no luck getting his game The Scoundrels Guild funded on his second attempt at crowd-funding. Anyway here are the details.

This is the end...

Well, it looks like strike two for the Scoundrels Guild, and that's fine, we're not going to get all depressed about it. We will continue to focus on making the game and hopefully someday we can get some sort of funding. Since this project won't be cheap to make, voice actors and modelers want to get paid as well, so, we will look to other avenues for funding, Kickstarter has lost it's steam and only seems to be getting worse. 2013 was a great year for indie game devs, especially on Kickstarter, but it seems the fad (if you want to call it that) has fizzled. I know there are several theories behind why things have changed and we're not going to get into a debate over it, so we will leave it at that. 

Thank you everyone who backed us and supported the project, we do feel humbled that so many of you were interested in this project and maybe we will be able to bring it to fruition in the future. 

Will we do another run? Probably not, there is something discouraging about striking out twice, but not to worry, there will be other things we can do. Mayhem Games USA as a company is not going away and this will only be a speedbump on the road for us.
