Bugbear Entertainment announces they have killed off
the Kickstarter for
Next Car Game, saying though it "attracted
tremendous enthusiasm," it was not going to hit its $350K goal, as it was
cancelled a bit short of the $82K mark. Noting that "Finns are not used to
giving up so easily," they announce they are proceeding with a preorder campaign
to support the demolition derby game's continued development, and they are
offering a playable "technology sneak peek" from the game to all those who
preorder. Here's word:
The sneak peek features a playground that we use
internally to test various features various like car damage and environment
destruction. The best thing about it is that you will get a chance to have fun
and wreak havoc with an amazing 24 cars!
In the full game the action will take place on many locations, including a
number of race tracks and derby arenas. We're also going to improve the gameplay
and technology on many fronts such as car damage and handling, and our Early
Access customers will get a chance to experience these improvements first-hand
during the Early Access phase!
