This week in MMO crowdfunding news, Infinity finally came to Kickstarter. Seriously, this game has been in development forever, but that’s OK since it has a true-to-scale solar system with no loading or zoning anywhere in the game. Technically it’s called Infinity: Battlescape, and it’s a combat-focused primer for the larger persistent world that we hope I-Novae Studios gets around to making eventually.
The rest of this week’s crowdfunding news is rounded up for you after the break.
