Bugbear Entertainment has launched
a Kickstarter for their next car game, which is currently codenamed
Next
Car Game. This project
was announced
over a year ago, but they say "many of our fans have asked us for a
Kickstarter," though we'll assume they can use the money, and are not just
collecting it to humor us. Stretch goals include next generation console
editions of the PC game, and they promise a playable sneak peek demo to all
backers immediately upon conclusion of the fundraiser. Here's a bit of their
pitch:
Next Car Game will be our tenth game, and this time we wanted to
work directly with the players instead of working with a publisher. We want to
make this game for us and the players, not for the publisher. We strongly
believe that it is possible to create the world’s best demolition racing game
using crowd-funding, and to do that, we need engage the community and develop
the game together with the players. This is something that Kickstarter makes
possible: doing the game with the fans gives us a lot more creative freedom, and
together we have a chance to create a better game.
