Outcast släpptes 1999 och var då både nyskapande, expansivt och trollbindande vackert. Delar av originalteamet har de senaste månaderna försökt skrapa ihop fyra miljoner kronor för att kunna skrämma upp upplösningen och dundra ut en HD-remake. Projektet har lockat 5161 personer att investera 254 000 dollar, inte ens i närheten av de 600 000 dollar utvecklarna skriver att de behöver för att ro spelet i land, med andra ord. Såhär skriver teamet på Kickstarter-sidan:
Good moon Adelphians!
When we started this campaign, I was so excited that I could not imagine that we could eventually fail. Shame on me! This same over-confidence, this same craziness and this same adventurousness, which 15 years ago led us to create the original game, lead us to face the harsh reality of this Kickstarter failure which could have been avoided with a bit more time, thinking and upfront money. We have received backing from over 5,100 of you for about $253.000, which is an amazing average pledge level. We are profoundly grateful and deeply touched by this amazing generosity.
Unfortunately, despite a rather good start, the pitch and the content we presented were not attractive enough to convince more backers (especially those who didn't play the original game) and did not manage to reach the overestimated funding goal of $600.000.
