River City Ransom Underground funded just ahead of deadline
Kickstarter backers have agreed to Conatus Creative's demands, leaving the River City Ransom Underground studio a suitcase full of Canadian dollars (as specified) on a bench by the docks. That money, $180,000 CAD (around $174,400 in USD), ensures Conatus will release the game into the custody of Windows PCs. With around 50 hours to go at the time of writing, thoughts turn now to Conatus' stretch goals. If $205,000 CAD is raised then the licensed follow-up is also be on the way to Mac and Linux. That looks realistic, while PS4 and Vita ports at $280,000 CAD seem a stretch too far at this late stage.
River City Ransom follow-up goes live on Kickstarter
River City Ransom: Underground is now on Kickstarter, seeking $180,000 (CAD) by October 9. Developed by Conatus Creative, the game is an officially-licensed follow-up to the original Technos Japan NES game. The developer acquired rights to the beat-em-up in April. River City Ransom: Underground will feature an 8-bit-style look while also expanding to include more playable characters and four-player cooperative multiplayer. The game is currently in development for PC only, though the developer noted that with enough support, it could appear on consoles as well.
