Deepworld is a 2D sandbox-style building platform similar to Minecraft. I met them at GDC in March and told them that it would be larger than they anticipated. They've had a lot of experience in developing servers and software, however, running a game this big requires an investment of significant size. It appears that they are in agreement. mundo's blog Kickstarter was designed to raise funds early for development and servers.



The group is offering prizes to those who support it which include your own personal servers and worlds, art books and other swag, plus the possibility of getting your own items, your name, or even pictures in the game itself. The goal is to raise US$20,000 and the group has already raised around $4,000. They are planning to make the project a full-time job and this funding will enable them to do so.



I certainly wish them the best. Deepworld looks fantastic and I'm with you when I first saw it. I think the Mac (and iOS) would be greatly benefited from a game like that.
