Windforge docks at Kickstarter to fund ‘last phase of development’

Windforge, Snowed In Studios’ steampunk-themed RPG teeming with sky whales, arrived on Kickstarter this week to raise funds for the game’s “last phase of development.”

The 2D game combines elements of block-based games like Minecraft, role-playing games and shooters in a procedurally generated world. We spent some hands-on time with Windforge at GDC 2013, so be sure to check out our impressions of boarding an airship, being attacked by fire-breathing basilisks and taking down and mining a sky whale.

As of this writing, the developer has secured CA$3,587 of its CA$50,000 goal from 63 backers with 29 days remaining. If funded, pledges beginning at CA$15 will net backers a copy of the game at its estimated March 2014 release date as well as a a custom-made e-card from the developers.
