Ambient Studios may not have succeeded with the Death Inc. Kickstarter, but they are shifting over to a paid alpha model that lets gamers start playing today for $10. This model will allow those interested a chance to give feedback on the game’s progress before it is released in November.
“We were overwhelmed by the support we received during our recent Kickstarter campaign. Despite the fact we didn’t reach our initial target, we did raise support of over £122,000 – that’s a tremendous amount of support which has given us the confidence to push on,” said Jonny Hopper, director at Ambient Studios. “Doing it ourselves has also given us the freedom to give more back to the community. Players who pre-purchase the game now will be able to join us on this incredible journey as Death Inc. helping us shape it into the game we know will be enjoyed by the world over.”
“The tiered nature of Kickstarter meant it made sense for us to limit alpha access to players who pledged $40 or more,” he added. “Now everyone who supports us will get immediate access to the game through until the final version later this year.”
