Polygon has word on plans to revive Red Baron, the classic World War I flight simulator released in the 1990s by Dynamix. A Kickstarter for the game a couple of years ago failed, though the associated Steam Greenlight succeeded, and in a conversation with designer Damon Slye, they learn that Mad Otter Games still hopes this will take off:

Slye is now looking for raise $50,000 to create a decent prototype which can then be offered up for crowd-funding, with a potential release in 2016.

He believes that with the centenary of WWI, interest in a biplane combat game ought to be high. "The airplanes are beautiful," he says. "The paint schemes the Germans had were just amazing, with the different crests. They had the red triplane, but then they had all kinds of different checkered patterns.

"And of course there's still that notion of chivalry, which was there when the war started but soon went out of the window, even for the pilots."
