Despite wide coverage in the videogame press, the Kickstarter crowdfunding project for Gas Powered Games hopeful role-playing/strategy hybrid title was falling well short of its ambitious US$1.1M target, having raised less than half that goal with only four days remaining.

In one last update to the project, video update #12, GPG founder Chris Taylor remained optimistic about the future prospects of his company, indicating that the studio would be rescued by other means, but was unable to clarify due to the nature of such business dealings.

At this point, it makes sense for us to focus our attention on other ways to keep Gas Powered Games running. Unfortunately, we are unable to share any specifics in public. When we have news to share, we will be posting it on our site. If you want status updates, or if you want to continue discussing Wildman and/or this Kickstarter, please consider migrating over to forums.gaspowered.com.

We are profoundly grateful to those of you who backed this project and Gas Powered Games. Your passion and hard work put us in a position to write this exciting new chapter in the history of GPG.

Anyone that had pledged funds to Wildman's Kickstarter effort will no longer be charged for their proposed contribution.
