Seeing as how crowd funding has become the talk of the town since Double Fine created their monstrously popular Kickstarter project, it's no wonder other developers have been trying to get the community excited about their own projects. Here's some of the most interesting ones out there right now.
Batman: Arkham Shadow developer Camouflaj has been hit with major layoffs, leaving behind a skeleton crew, according to multiple reports.
oh no, I had read that this studio was safe from the cutbacks Meta was making. These guys were supposedly working on the sequel to Arkham Shadow. I wonder if this kills that project or not.
If you lay off the entire team besides a few engineers it's a safe bet to say the project died with the team.
One would think you are correct. We do know that is the dream of the mega corporations that you can get a skeleton crew of 5 people to do the work of 50 or 500 with the 'powa' of AI.
Don't be mistaken. This is their dream. If you disagree with the plan Nvidia CEO would say you are hurting society.
turns out it wasn't even this studio that was working on the sequel. It was another one that was shut down. Such a shame, that Quest game was amazing.

Kinda crazy how many of these things are popping up now. Seemed like such a novel idea when Doublefine made one and now it's already cliche, internet is weird like that.
Loads of companies jumping on the bandwagon...
Kickstarter funding has really taken off. I wonder if people will be disappointed with the final products tho. I've got pretty low expectations personally (the budgets sound tiny across the board; even the kind of figures Double Fine raised seem low).
I'm trying to get word out on grim dawn, a new kickstarter as of today that missed this article. ARPG from former titan quest developers that will be highly competitive with diablo. Check out the occultist class gameplay vids
