InSomnia was unveiled two weeks ago, and now indie developer Studio MONO has launched the dieselpunk RPG on Kickstarter. The game is looking to raise $70K in 60 days.
The developer explained why it was crowdfunding Insomnia, stating, ”In the world of videogames, financing for indie studios is an ongoing challenge. MONO has spent the last year building tools, samples, and honing our craft to develop skills as a team and crystallize the vision of InSomnia to enable us have something to show potential investors. Over the past 18 months we have been doing all of this fueled solely by our enthusiasm for the project and the chance to build something unique with each other. We’ve done a lot of work but now we’ve hit a wall where we need funds to continue further.
Trying to secure funding from large investors and publishers for a game of this originality and cutting-edge design has proved impossible in the current risk-averse, sequel driven climate. Therefore our only remaining option is to turn to you – like- minded visionaries, gamers and fans – that can help us realize our dream by making this game a reality and to share in its success with us.”
Insomnia is a co-operative online role-playing game with tactical real-time combat, with non-linear story structure. For more information about the Kickstarter project, players can visit the page here.
