I've been looking over failed KS RPGs I've backed & other promising RPGs I've been following and wondering if they'll ever see the light of day. What vaporware RPGs do you really hope will see a release some day? Here's some of mine:
Seven Dragon Saga- CRPG from SSI veterans, but hasn't had an update in about two years (which barely talked about SDS).
Deathfire or really any CRPG with Guido Henkel as lead developer. He seems to have some great ideas about how to make any interesting RPG, but unfortunately just isn't well known enough to have a big crowdfunding success. Seems like he might be a designer for Realms Beyond or else "Dragon" is just a really big fan of his.
Zaharia- never officially cancelled but the KS funding failed. Since releasing Icy: Enhanced Innervoid have teased that they're working on a new game, but probably not an RPG (clues suggest it has something to do with cooking?). Still hope someday they'll find the funding for Zaharia.
Americana Dawn Seemed like a cool premise, definitely something different. No signs of life since sketches posted on twitter over a year ago.
Prisonscape Apparently still in alpha. No blog posts since last Fall. Somewhat more hope for this one than others, progress has just been very slow.
