Following the initial backing Yesterday morning, from our one contact in the gaming industry, we then picked up new further backing from the folks at Tripwire Interactive, an older, established indie studio that has been following our team and progress for a while. They were impressed by the work we have done and stepped forward to show support for our new indie studio, Storm Isle Productions by kicking in backing to our kickstarter, helping push us over $9,000.

So, barnEbiss, whatever happened with this project?  I saw it missed its funding goal on KS ( ), but it looks like the game's website is still live...are the developers moving forward with it?

[barnEbiss]

We are still active although we did not make the kickstarter goal we are continuing development just more slowly, We have put up a paypal donation campaign on our site to help generate a trickle of development funds coming in.  Through public donations so far we have raised some funds and gotten the first of the new wind units concepts done of the new wind archer redesign done up as we are working on other wind units.

If you are interested showing some support you can check out the paypal campaign page

Some screens of some of the stand in assets we are getting done to complete the wind faction for early access build for testers.

these will be used until we get the main unit and building models finalized and done up..


Also the paypal campaign has slowly been climbing and recently reached $861 donations.

I must say I quite enjoy the art style.

[barnEbiss]

Thanks Mánagarmr, we are putting a lot of effort into trying to update and bring the world into a new direction while still doing honor to the older game even if we are in a new IP..

If you like the style hope you will consider helping us to spread word about our indiegogo for the project.
