Brenda Brathwaite and Tom Hall of Loot Drop have announced the cancellation of their Kickstarter project with two weeks remaining. Shaker: An Old School RPG raised only about a quarter of the $1 million goal.
“In the industry, games are pitched every day. Some make it to the next stage, but many don’t, like those named above. We regret to announce that we’re adding Shaker: An Old School RPG to the latter list,”announced the company. “We are profoundly grateful to our fans. You were as excited about this game as we were, and from the very beginning, you encouraged us to post more details about it and even sent in fan art! We have received backing from over 7,000 of you and raised a quarter million dollars in just a few days (!). That’s humbling and wonderful.”

“Ultimately, our pitch just wasn’t strong enough to get the traction we felt it needed to thrive. Sure, it may have made it. We could have fought our way to a possibly successful end. In reading your feedback and talking it over internally, however, we decided that it made more sense to kill it and come back with something stronger. In game design, mercy killing is the law. So, please accept our thanks and apologies in equal order. Expect something more soon,” concluded the announcement.
