Rocket Ranger Reloaded Grounded, Kickstarter Backers Get Refunds

Dan Miller writes: "As previously reported, in September 2015 developer Cinemaware gave backers of Rocket Ranger Reloaded the opportunity to vote on whether or not the troubled project should continue. At the time two thirds of those who voted opted to permit Cinemaware two more years, but six weeks later a backer-only update has confirmed the project is cancelled and all pledges will be refunded."

Hmmm, the main character looks like The Rocketeer:

Good call, although I think one could argue it's the other way around since the original Rocket Ranger came out before The Rocketeer.

Rocket Ranger Reloaded in Trouble, Backers Asked to Vote on its Future

Dan Miller writes: "Following a long period of ominous silence, Kickstarter backers of Rocket Ranger Reloaded have got the news that many were expecting - the project was in trouble. A refreshingly honest backer-only update from developer Cinemaware confirmed that roughly $30,000 of pledges had not been collected due to refused credit card payments and attempts to secure an investor had failed. Given that the total amount originally pledged in December 2014 was only $90,715 (just about creeping past its $90,000 goal in a nail-biting finish) this represented nearly a third of the amount raised."
