(2014-09-14) Sienna Storm Rpg

The Sienna Storm RPG has a couple interesting wrinkles.

• Unlike its spiritual predecessors, Sienna Storm has a novel way of guiding players through the twists and turns of its plot: rather than rendering characters and environments in full 3D, Sienna Storm is more like a Comic Book, Card Game and Frederick Forsyth novel rolled into one... No point pussyfooting: it's cheap – Digital Knights was only looking for a comparatively meager $179,000.
• Despite their expert credentials and plenty of press at launch, the team raised just $17,049 from 488 (KickStarter) backers, less than ten percent of their goal, and ultimately decided to cancel the campaign rather than labour on... “It just means that the public expects a game to have not just gameplay concepts, but actual screenshots, gameplay video footage, et cetera,” Filipov said in an interview after the cancellation. “It seems at least 50 or 60 percent of the game needs to be completed before one launches a campaign on Kickstarter.”
