Post Apocalyptic RPG Encased Nears Funding Goals

News today from Dark Crystal games, as their 1970’s era post apocalyptic RPG Encased gets close to full funding. Encased looks a lot like classic Fallout, and that could be a very good thing.

From the developer:

Since September 13th and the launch of our Kickstarter campaign, we’ve raised $72,000 of our target $100,000. This is pretty damn good, but it’s time for a final push. Storm-clouds are gathering under the Dome. Maelstrom is about to break free!

We’ve published a first reveal video of the opening section of the game, which walks through the storyline and the gameplay. Check out how the game gives you important choices – with real consequences right from the beginning.

We’ve already announced our first stretch goal – a dangerous new encounter at a crashed bomber, where the player will fight waves of raiders, relying only on themselves, a minefield, and a pair of large-caliber machine guns mounted on the plane’s fuselage. Read about this and more in Kickstarter Update #12.

He got his start writing about games and technology with a computer column called On the Chip Side, which grew to more than 1 million in circulation and ran in newspapers across several states. Today, John is an award-winning journalist with more than 25 years of experience. His work has appeared in The Washington Post, Newsweek and many other publications, and he writes a regular technology and government column for Nextgov/FCW and hosts security and educational webinars for FedInsider.

He still loves disappearing into games, whether that means crawling through Baldur’s Gate dungeons deep into the night or planning one more big offensive in the latest wargame.
