Game News Parallax Kickstarter failed

Tags: Kickstarter; Parallax

Parallax, a Kickstarter 4X Science Fiction game notable for being written by Timothy Zahn, a known Star Wars: EU novelist; has met with failure.

The Kickstarter was only able to collect $33,000 of the $350,000 they were asking for.

They've issued a backer survey to collect feedback and to determine if another Kickstarter or another method of fundraising would be successful.

Went by me. I checked it out and well, it is a 4x in space. And despite having Timothy zhan aboard (I actually liked his star wars novels) they seems to send the message that the gameworld will mostly be built by backers. It is not that I don't like the idea, but they asked for quite some money with nothing but a non-game name to show.

Yeah, kind of an odd pitch to say the least. Meh, proper 4x games aren't meant to be.

I missed this too. But if this is the case, it's probably for the better. Like no one today has any imagination howsoever when creating a space 4x...

Damn, for a second there I thought we had a chance of getting a Descent game.
