Der Entwickler Cyberwave und der Publisher rokaplay wollten via Kickstarter für ihr gemütliches Survival-Abenteuer Solarpunk eigentlich nur 30.000€ sammeln. Diese Summe wurde von der Community pulverisiert, das 10-fache ist am Ende reingekommen. Genauer gesagt 305.266€.
Das sagen die Beteiligten:
“We’re beyond excited that Solarpunk earned roughly 10 times what we were hoping for,” said Patrick de Rijk, Co-Founder and Programmer at Cyberwave. “Solarpunk has already acquired over a quarter million wishlists, which far exceeded our expectations. We knew we were making a great game, and it’s extremely validating to see that so many people are as excited about Solarpunk as we are!”
“Since the first time we laid eyes on Solarpunk we were in love,” said Adrian Kaiser, Head of Communication at rokaplay. “We knew Cyberwave was really onto something here, but one can’t help but brace for the worst in this crowded market. So seeing how hyped people are for Solarpunk has really affirmed our gut reaction that it’s truly something special.”
