Asylum a new horror game

@hamish True, although I've seen projects from as little as 5k to as high as 1 million both succeed and fail. Given the quality of production, I'm guessing its what they need. The artwork and voice acting right now I'm guessing is their biggest expense right now (I could be wrong). At the moment their current rate of sales conversions puts its close if unchanged; almost on a knife's edge. Many others are doing a big push right now. Hopefully it will do.. Would like to see a more comfortable margin though. There are still around 1000 $15 discounted game downloads available out of 2000 but many got larger reward sets. Would be cool to see the discount downloads sell out.

Well, they're halfway there with less than half the time to go.  I agree, the project creator needs to do continuous promotion to meet the goal, but from what I've seen so far, he is doing so.

Probably the adventure gaming community is his best bet.  I must say, I'd love to see a spate of compelling first-person adventure games implemented on the Dagon engine, as I'm an inveterate adventure game fan :)

They are now up to $71K. with 2 weeks to go. This looks like it could happen. I'm particularly keen on seeing the engine get some new features.

$76K and less than 2 weeks go to. Hopefully we'll make it...

Dagon has now had it source code released:

It looks like the goal will be reached. Its already at 102% with 5 days to go. Stretch goals on possibly in sight. Thanks all!! We will have another premium game native Linux and open source!!

So cheers all round then? Woot!
