This week in MMO crowdfunding news, Project Gorgon opened up a brand-new web store. “Currently, we are listing four crowdfunding packages from our prior Indiegogo Campaign in order to continue to raise funds until we launch on Steam Early Access,” Elder Game says. “This will give those who found out about us as our Indiegogo Campaign was closing to donate and get the awesome benefits that come with doing so. The three packages that are being offered are: The Horseback Explorer, Patron, and Duke. We will not be offering a standard Contributor package as we want to encourage all those interested in a standard Project: Gorgon key to purchase directly from Steam once they become available.”

Meanwhile,

  • TUG resurfaced after raising millions and a year of rework to say it’s now focusing on producing a “minimally viable product.”
  • We chatted with the Ship of Heroes team about its development.
  • Descent: Underground‘s Tenebrae update introduced a brand-new map.
  • The Exiled announced a February 23rd Steam early access launch.
  • Crowdfund platform Fig revealed it has raised nearly $8M in a financing round for venture capitalists.
  • Crowfall’s Indiegogo-based equity crowdfunding campaign drew to a close, raising over $668,000 from over 1200 investors.
