Peter Molyneux's crowd funding experiment succeeds with less than two days to go
22 Can's Project Godus has reached its funding goal of £450,000 on Kickstarter.
The studio founded by industry legend Peter Molyneux to launch 22 experimental projects has already released its first game, Curiosity: What's Inside the Cube?, and was banking on popular support to fund a new project.
That project, Godus (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/22cans/project-godus?ref=live), is billed as the recreation of the God game genre first conceived by Molyneux in his first hit, Populus.
The project got off to a rough start, launching without the explosion of funding that usually marks a successful Kickstarter.
Molyneux blamed the slow beginning in part to an "assumption of wealth (http://www.develop-online.net/news/42822/Molyneux-Assumptions-of-wealth-hurt-Kickstarter)"- people simply believed he was too wealthy to recieve donations.
