Im getting a bit bored of all the Kickstarter news we have been getting of late, but I just had to post this one as it is a remake of a very cool, old childhood fave of mine, Cinemawares Wings, which I used to play on my Amiga 500.
They are currently at $8965 of a requested $350000 and are aiming to cater to a variety of different platforms.

QuoteWhat about a Linux version? OSX-Mac? Consoles?
We are considering ALL platforms for the release of Wings: Director's Cut. The choice of Windows, iOS and Android as starting platforms is mostly just driven by commercial viability as well as overall demand. But if we are able to reach our minimum funding goal we will CERTAINLY start porting the game to all other viable platforms - and that INCLUDES Linux and Macs!!

:O

I love the pants off this game (and still play it when I pull out my Amiga)!

Yeah its a bit of crime that this one is struggling to meet its funding really, I hope it gets made anyways.

Loved Wings on the Amiga but there was also Redbaron which I prefered as it didnt have the mini games and thus was more immersive for me. I loved them both though.

Is it struggling though? It's only three days old (I find it hard to get a feel for stuff until at least one week in).

Damn wish I had the money to pledge! So many fond memories!
