Her Majesty's SPIFFING gives British space explouration another shot
Her Majesty's SPIFFING from BillyGoat Entertainment failed to meet its Kickstarter goal last November, but the "quintessentially British" adventure game about Captain Frank Lee English's quest to expand the British empire to the stars is back with a vengeance. If "a vengeance" is what you call a new Kickstarter campaign. "We're so passionate about bringing our jovial space-themed adventure game to the world that we're willing to endure what could of course be nothing more than another humiliating and disappointing experience for everyone involved, not unlike my wedding evening," BillyGoat studio director Will Barr admits in the new pitch video, which you can view after the break. Neither the amount of money BillyGoat is seeking - £30,000 - nor the scope of the game has changed since the last attempt at crowdfunding, but there is a playable demo this time around, so you can get a better idea of just what you're backing. You can download it and see the various backer rewards via the new HM SPIFFING Kickstarter page. BillyGoat's first attempt at crowdfunding HM SPIFFING ended with just shy of £12,000 raised from 338 backers. So far, the new campaign has raised a smidgen more than £11,000 from 329 backers. It has 27 days left to secure the remaining money. If it succeeds, the first episode of HM SPIFFING will release in the second half of 2015 on PC, Mac and Linux.
Her Majesty's SPIFFING might be the most British game on Kickstarter
BillyGoat Entertainment is currently seeking funds on Kickstarter to create Her Majesty's SPIFFING:a classic adventure game for PC, Mac and Linux "leaning heavily on national stereotypes for cheap laughs." Hey, we didn't say it! That's straight from the animated mouth of Captain Frank Lee English, eloquent spokesperson for the game's campaign and protagonist of Her Majesty's SPIFFING. This "quintessentially British" adventure game, as described by developer Will Barr, takes place in a future where the Queen of England has decided to expand the British Empire once again; this time, to the stars. The game is being broken up into three episodes, with only the first episode being funded at the minimum Kickstarter goal of £30,000. Episodes two and three are tied to £60,000 and £100,000 stretch goals, respectively. Should the first episode be funded, BillyGoat plans to release by November 2014. The game is also seeking votes on Steam Greenlight as well. Bolly, this game looks British! Pip-pip, cheerio, fish and chips, guv'na!
