Indie-udvikleren SolarFall Games er gået på Kickstarter, for at finansiere deres kommende action-rollespil Umbra. Et interessant aspekt ved spillet er, at det benytter sig af CryEngine 3. Holdet har nemlig sine rødder i CryEngine-modding, og da Crytek afslørede deres indie-licens til grafikmotoren, så de det som en mulighed for at gå i fuld gang med deres projekt.
"We've been knocked off of our feet by the incredibly positive reaction received for Umbra! To say that we're humbled, at hitting such a significant milestone in funding and being Greenlit so fast, is an understatement. We still have a long way to go, but with your support we can make our game a reality!" siger Daniel Dolui, Lead Programmer og Game Director hos SolarFall Games
Her er opsummeringen af spillet på deres Kickstarter-side:
"An isometric view open world action-RPG taking place in a corrupted world falling apart. You are a former officer of army of the Human Republic, forced to flee the death penalty because of the magic powers you have unwillingly developed. Being tracked down by humans and hunted by the monsters of the Wild, you are recruited by a mysterious group of Templars. And thus an epic adventure begins in which you will wander the world to fight inhuman, mutated monsters and discover the terrible secret of the extinguishing mankind.
The game features a unique mechanic called Apocalyptic Form that allows players to shape shift into a highly customized character! You're free to mold your character thanks to a deep and rich customization system.
