Black Forest Games hat seine Kickstarter-Kampagne zu Ravensdale einen Tag vor Ablauf beendet. Insgesamt 500.000 Dollar wollten die Entwickler für den kooperativen Run'n'Gun-Titel zusammenbekommen, aber unter dem Strich standen nach 30 Tagen "nur" 72.203 Dollar von 1.615 Unterstützern.

Die Entwickler aus Offenburg versuchen jetzt alternative Wege zu finden, um das Projekt doch noch umsetzen zu können. Sie würden das Spiel sogar dann realisieren wollen, wenn die Markenrechte an einen externen Publisher gehen würden, heißt es in einem Kickstarter-Update .

"Sadly, it is clear that the project won’t be financed here. We could go into elaborate detail about why we think it didn't work out, but frankly, there is no point. For now, what we want to do is take the best from this campaign and move on, which is why we decided to end the campaign on a high note, tonight, together with our community.

Our most immediate goal is to find an alternate way to fund Ravensdale. This includes possible publishing deals even if we take the risk to lose the IP. We believe in Ravensdale and we got lots of positive feedback from you and the press. It might not have been the right project and time for Kickstarter, but the campaign raised attention."
