Revolution announces Broken Sword 5 Kickstarter
Revolution Software has announced Broken Sword 5 with a Kickstarter designed to raise money to finish the game. Broken Sword: The Serpent’s Curse reunites George Stobbart and Nico Collard in a new 2D adventure (the characters are modelled and animated in 3D but rendered in 2D). Pledge $15 and you’ll get a digital copy of the game and bonus material. Higher tier rewards include original Broken Sword artwork, signed game design documents, personalised drawings from the art team, personalised messages from the game’s actors, a mention in the game, merchandise and an invitation to the project wrap party in one of the game’s locations. Revolution calls for $400,000 on the crowd funding website. With the money Revolution will be able to polish off and release Broken Sword 5, already six months into production, without the interference of a publisher. Without it, the UK studio will need a publisher’s help. Read more…
