Underworld Ascendant snart på Kickstarter
Paul Neurath, der er mest kendt for arbejdet med Ultima Underworld, Thief og System Shock, leder nu efter kapital til et nyt spilprojekt. Titlen er Underworld Ascendant (tidligere Underworld Ascension).
Spillet er et tilbageblik på de gamle Underworld.-spil, men med et nyt udviklerhold ved roret.
På spillets officielle hjemmeside har Neurath beskrevet kampen for at lave en efterfølger til Ultima Underworld II fra 1993. Denne slutter med en pitch, som du kan læse i bunden af denne tekst, for hans nye spil.
Planen er at spillet skal dukke op på crowdfunding-siden Kickstarter den 4. februar.
"The newest incarnation of the franchise, Underworld Ascendant, will retain the distinctive fantasy RPG gameplay of the originals. We already have an early prototype running on the PC. At that same time we will be pushing forward with new innovations --- I can't wait to tell you more about what we have planned!
But this can only happen with your help. As an indie studio, we are looking to our fans to fund a significant portion of the development through our upcoming Kickstarter campaign, which begins on February 4th. We aren't shy about our ambitions to make a great game, but that takes serious resources and effort.
Beyond funding, we are inviting you in on the making of Underworld Ascendant. Rarely have fans been able to participate in the often unpredictable, sometimes messy creative process that gives birth to innovative games. We hope you'll join us on this adventure!"
