Pendulum Studios go with crowdfunding for Day One

Collective financing, at the hands of the players themselves, is becoming one of the hottest trends in the video game industry. This boom exploded medially with Tim Schafer adventure game which was funded by players, and managed to get $ 3.3 million through word of mouth, while only $ 400,000 were requested.

To get public investment,  Kickstarter has been used by other studies and has been instrumental in reviving the industry sagas of the past. Fargo Wasteland, spiritual successor to Fallout, Stainless Games with the revival of Carmageddon , and Replay Games with a new Leisure Suit Larry , all possible by money from the gamer.

Now, developer Pendulum Studios who were responsible for adventure games like Runawayand Hollywood Monsters , where the player makes the call for funds for new project for 2013, Day One for PC and MAC, and without protection by DRM systems . The aim of this venture from Madrid is to get about 300,000 Euros using the crowdfunding. The figure can very much be  extended to match the first Runaway game that needed 750,000 Euros.

Games Planet Lab is a network of collective financing specific games that was inaugurated last week with its first operational project, the title Magrunner: Dark Pulse.

“Kickstarter was the first thing we look for borreguismo. But then we realized that we were not suited for two reasons,” says Joshua Monchan, screenwriter of the study, on the decision. Day One in Games Planet Lab has already achieved a 2 percent of its budget.
