Kickstarter-funded "Project Awakened" aims to be the most customizable action game ever

OnlySP: Many games let you project yourself onto a protagonist or even create one of your own, but Project Awakened aims to take this concept and turn it into an art form. The folks at Phosphor Games are the ones who are developing it, Kickstarter is the place where it’s just been revealed, and everyone is the audience it aims to impress.

What's this kickstarter I keep hearing about...

"Kickstarter is an American-based private for-profit company founded in 2009 that provides, through its website, tools to raise funds for creative projects via crowd funding."

It's a place where people with ideals and concepts can pitch their ideas to the potential consumers, ordinary people, and ask for their support(money/funding) to make their idea a reality. Of course it's completely up to the people how much they want to donate to help fund the project, and if the funding from the people reach their goal then thee product is created and everyone who helped is happy while the persons idea lives to see the light of day

I think it has something to do with football, or car parts.

Its where First time Devs and EX Devs can with help of us donating small sum money can cut out the middle man publishers.
By creating and designing a game with our input without having to worry about deadlines bosses telling them what they can and cant do for the consumers.
Ive funded 2 this year cant wait its worth it as you the funders can actually have your input into the games, more importantly like AKA (Project Takedown) get to have talk to dev them selvs.

This game to use Unreal Engine 4 looks awsome trailer here

There is all sorts of crazy stuff on there too, not just video games. For example, these guys are going to build a Death Star! http://www.kickstarter.com/...

Wow I did notice it looks better than I thought a kick starter game would look like! Nice to see next gen engine start being used!

Has great potential, but so far looks very stiff, rigid, and bland

No More Heroes: Project Awakened Not Phosphor’s Focus

“Project Awakened is on the backburner,” creative director Chip Sineni admitted to RPS. “There are still people working on it, but it’s definitely not the studio’s focus right now. We’re still totally in love with the idea, but we’re still trying to figure out the right way to do it. We’ve taken a step back and said, ‘OK, let’s not rush this. If we’re gonna do this, let’s do this right.’”
