Conquest 2 - The Vyrium Uprising. Dead

Post by Geraldine »

Hello FolksI thought I would create a thread to mark the passing of Conquest 2 - The Vyrium Uprising which was meant to be a follow up to Conquest Frontier Wars. :( Its devs did not reach their Kickstarter funding target and have now closed development. Look here for details could have been a great game, what a shame. :(Still, perhaps the game might yet be picked up by one of the big games companies? It would be a shame indeed for all the work put into it so far, to go to waste.

The devs didn't even break 10% funding which is in my mind a sign of not really planning before doing a kickstarter. After reading some of the comments I would have to agree that a release of CFW on GOG would have been great for the publicity and of course some type of in-game footage demo to show-off the early alpha. Yeah $600k is a bit much to ask for a game if you don't have any named famous devs or IP on your side to help it along.I hope they keep it alive as a side project and redo the kickstarter when the game is alpha ready.

I don't think Kickstart is the gold mine every one seem to think it is and with the high amounts which are being asked for there probably going to be a few more causalities.
