Project Godus reaches Kickstarter goal

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, 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"- people simply believed he was too wealthy to recieve donations.
