400 000 $ For this ? Nah, seriously if he thinks that he can pull that off, im impressed.

The idea is kinda nice, but feels more like a good indie than a A+++ game.

That looks nothing like a spiritual successor to Commander Keen. Maybe he should've done a Kickstater to get the Keen rights and make a new one.

400k doesn't even buy you one plus, let alone three. Laughing

400k to do what indie devs do with no income. It's like everyone that's even slightly known in the pc gaming world suddenly comes up with ideas to exploit kickstarter. It's a crappy platformer with what looks like a bog standard level editor, not half as powerful as things like Gamemaker etc. It looks like the art is clip art from Corel paint for windows 95

Please fail

He's failed on Kickstarter once before

Though technically he (they) didn't, only because they cancelled it days before it would inevitably fail Laughing

I kinda feel bad for tom hall cause I loved anachronox, but he seems to have lost the magic. generic platformer just isn't gonna cut it.

Tom Hall seems pretty desperate to jump on the KS bandwagon...

Didn't he have a failed KS project already not long ago?
