‘A hitch that’s making us do something that’s right for the game’
Therecently announcedKickstarter forBlackroom, an FPS fromDoomco-creators John Romero and Adrian Carmack, is already on hold. Fundraising has been suspended and the campaign clock has been set back to zero. Anupdateposted on the project’s Kickstarter page explains the team is responding to feedback and will create a demo for the title before continuing the campaign in earnest.
“We’re pressing ‘PAUSE’ on the fundraising campaign forBlackroomto complete this gameplay demo. Simply put, this will take more time than the Kickstarter has left, so we’ve decided to suspend the campaign and launch a new one when the gameplay demo is ready.”
With a fundraising goal of $700,000,Blackroommanaged to attract $131,052 from crowdfunding since being announced this past Monday. It will be interesting to see how those numbers look when the demo is completed and they presumably try again in a few months.
