Press release Embers of Caerus competitions

Forsaken Studios is launching a series of competitions for their upcoming game Embers of Caerus, with prizes that include fantastic hardware and peripherals from major gaming and hardware brands!

Starting next week, Friday the 31st of August, and continuing every other month after that, these competitions will see community members battling it out to come up with stories, artwork, in-game titles and more. The entries will be judged by the Forsaken Studios team, including the company’s directors.
But that’s not all. Forsaken Studios is proud to announce that the competitions are being funded by an anonymous benefactor who stepped up and volunteered to help bring the Embers of Caerus community this fantastic opportunity!

With the company riding high on the success of their recent Kickstarter campaign, the team hopes that the competition will grow the Embers of Caerus community, raise exposure across social media, and help spread the word about sandbox gaming. And, thanks to their secret sponsor, the company doesn’t have to divert a penny from its Kickstarter funds or website donations. All that generously donated cash is still being used purely to develop the Embers of Caerus investor prototype!

Forsaken Studios can’t wait to launch the first of their competitions and hopes to bring their loyal and rapidly growing band of followers heaps of fun and activity. So the very best of luck to everyone and may the best gamer win!

How Embers of Caerus and $46k In Kickstarter Cash Smoldered out of Existence

Joanna Mueller writes: "Embers of Caerus was an ambitious project. A small, scrappy dev team coming together to build what they hoped would be the ultimate MMORPG. It may seem naive of them in hindsight, attempting such a massive undertaking, but the 2012 Kickstarter campaign showed only the best of intentions from developer Forsaken Studio, a name which only becomes more ironic as it's story unfolds."

More dreams up in flames. That's why I don't back campaigns for developers trying to fund a prototype.

Neonridr2978d ago

yeah it's becoming more and more paramount to be extremely cautious with who you back.

I usually tend to stick to people who were developers before, possibly at other companies, or people with working demos to show off.

Ratty2978d ago

That's the right attitude. It's not too hard to spot bad projects anyway.
