The Something Nerdy Studios kickstarter for their upcoming NES (and PC) title Former Dawn has reached its goal of $160,000. The game is a sci-fi RPG inspired by classic Nintendo and Sony titles like Final Fantasy IV through VI, Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy Tactics.

Key Facts:

  • Genre: Sci-Fi RPG
  • Platforms: NES (including TinyNES console) and PC
  • Kickstarter Goal Reached: $160,000
  • Special Edition: Backers of any physical tiers can add a Former Dawn-branded special edition of the open-source TinyNES console for an additional fee.
  • Memory Mapper: Uses a new MXM-1 designer to offer advanced NES experiences with superior memory mapping and expansion audio capabilities.
  • CD-ROM Emulation: The game will feature CD-ROM emulation for FMV cutscenes, enhancing the retro experience even beyond typical NES games.

This Kickstarter aims to cover development and manufacturing costs.

What do you think about this project? Did you back it on Kickstarter?

i didn’t end up backing it because of the tiers they offered. i wanted to pick it up a physical version , but 150 for a physical game in box was a bit rich for my blood. They also offered getting just the bare cart for 80, but honestly if i am putting that down for a game id still want a box for it.

nevertheless i hope it does well as it looks like a fun game. ill maybe pick it up on steam when it comes out.
