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.

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
