Nightdive Studios måtte i sidste måned erkende, at Kickstarter-succesen havde steget dem til hovedet og at deres Remake var blevet udsat på ubestemt tid. Nu ankommer deres remake i 2020.
Det er PC Gamer, som på sidste uges GDC messe har haft fat i Nightdives Stephen Kick og Larry Kuperman. De kunne fortælle, at de nu satser på at have System Shock Remake klar i 2020.
Sagen tiltrak sig stor opmærksomhed i sidste måned, da udviklerne indrømmede at have misbrugt de mange penge, som Kickstarter-projektet genererede. Forløbet har været med til at minde folk om, at crowdfunding-projekter ikke automatisk sådan lader sig virkeliggøre – heller ikke hvis pengene kommer ind.
“Our intention is to ship exactly the game that was promised, with as much of the features that were promised as we can, in a timeframe that will get it out as fast as we can. Our expectation is probably Q1 of 2020.”
Kuperman gave that date with the kind of expression and shrug that conveyed: no, that date isn’t what anyone wants to hear. But it’s practical. He was unequivocal when I asked if another two years of development would put Nightdive in a financial bind.
