They're in some difficult terrain for sure. Tim Schafer and Bryan Fargo could rely on the fans of classic adventures and RPGs who've been waiting for such games for a long time. OTOH there's a gazillion of shooters on the market, with varying degrees of realism. While I wish them all the best, I doubt they'll get the needed 200,000 $. Also the sum seems quite a bit small compared to the initial goals of the DoubleFine game (400,000) and Wasteland 2 (900,000).

Well he stated early on that the sum wont cover the game (more like 1 mil for the full game development) but is enough that he can use it as 20% collateral on getting other people to donate (official backers).

Ah, Ok. Haven't followed the whole thing that closely.

But then it's even more important that they achieve their set goals quickly to send a strong message to potential investors.

I am down for 100 but that is all I can give to this project. I really hope others make this happen. I am surprised that there is not more support for this here on SimHQ. This is the game that most of us have been wanting and talking about for years and it is getting absolutely no love from SimHQ.

To clarify this he is taking about making a rainbow 6: rogue spear / swat 4 game. How can that not get more love from a place like SimHQ. The thing is that if he does not make his total (200,000) then you dont pay for anything. So you either pay for the next amazing tactical shooter or you dont pay at all...

Ah well...

My thoughts to. I remember SWAT 4 was huge here a few years ago. A lot of Rogue Spear and Raven Shield fans to. Sadly if this fails I don't think we'll get any other tactical shooter aside from ArmA 3 and I44. While nice, at least ArmA will be lacking in the close quarters fighting aspect and the small scale squad micro management.
