Tangiers is a stealth game like no other. Its art style is derived from dark surrealist landscapes, its levels alter and rebuild themselves based on how you play, and your weapons are pieces of dialogue that you snatch out of the air. It’s also set in “a parody of 1970s concrete Britain.”
For the first time since October, Harvey has updated Tangiers‘s Kickstarter campaign. Harvey says that the project is still in development and is now set for a Summer launch.
OnlySP last reported on the stealth game Tangiers back in January of this year. We briefly spoke with lead developer Alex Harvey, who explained the game’s woes but ensured us that everything was now on track and that a beta was on the way.
They literally updated their kickstarter the day this article was posted. https://www.kickstarter.com...
Yeah, doesn't seem like the most professional handling of things. He must not of known what he was getting into. That being said, as someone who has suffered from serious anxiety issues, I know just how much stress can break someone, and it sounds like it got the better of him. Hopefully he can pull things together and things work out.
I've never been a big kickstarter supporter, people need to know what they're getting into before they support anything. It's an investment with no return but the product, and even that often falls through.
Yea saw that a few hours after we published the article. We covered the update. Still doesn't say much more than what they've said in the past. Their actions will speak louder than words over the next few weeks. We'll keep an eye out for any further developments.
I believe every Kickstarter campaign for a game must have a demo as proof of concept. While not communicating with your backers is not cool, backers should also be more cautious when supporting someone's campaign. I especially stay away from campaigns that don't even have gameplay footage.
OnlySP: As the new year dawns we’ve begun to start following up on same games we’ve covered in the past that we haven’t had updates on recently. One such game is a stealth title called Tangiers, which went up on Kickstarter back in 2013, and has yet to be released.
