This week in MMO crowdfunding news, Project Gorgon topped another couple of stretch goals. The funky fantasy sandbox thing with cows stands at just over $46,000 as of press time, which ain’t half bad considering that the original goal was $20,000.
Elsewhere, the usual kickstarted suspects provided us with plenty of pre-alpha progress updates, and you can see those rounded up for your convenience after the cut.
