Btw., this one is a scam. Unknown company, no website (just a countdown), only one name behind it and an unrealistic budget. See here for more info: http://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/19wbpt/is_civitas_a_scam_to_cash_in_on_simcitys_angry/

I guess it will be interesting to see how this pans out then! I hope it's not a scam.

Hmm, they claim to be veterans in AAA titles but have been recently laid off. If they are veterans, why don't they have at least a video showing members of the team/studio, and possibly game art and shorts of development?
As much as it looks so very cool, the no-video thing turned me off immediately before even having read Anon's comment above. They have made a Facebook account, but for the sum of money they're asking it's just not enough information. There's one video on Terraforming, but it feels strangely unprofessional. If it's only a one man team though, I am impressed with what he's accomplished in that video so far.
Thanks liamdawe for sharing this though, I'll be watching it in the coming days. Might pledge if it starts to look realistic and trustworthy.

Agree, this one looks a lot like someone trying to profit from the SimCity debacle. Don't invest there until they can prove it's legit.

I don't know if it's a Scam. But I do that this guy tried to Kick-start this last year, BEFORE the Simcity debacle but didn't get enough money. And you can find various posts from way back of him talking about building this and trying to get help, I think he had posted on the Ubuntu forums looking for Devs. So I doubt it's a Scam.

Quoting: Mike FrettI don't know if it's a Scam. But I do that this guy tried to Kick-start this last year, BEFORE the Simcity debacle but didn't get enough money.

It says it's the first created which makes it more odd.

Civitas - 22 hours and $12,000 (from 3:22 PM)
That's right! I am not embellishing or lying about this. When I last checked the numbers yesterday, about 5:00 PM PST, the Kickstarter was at $58,880 and now it is at $71,340!! To be exact that's $12,460 in less than a day for a game that has yet to show nothing more than a few screenies and some promises. What is the key to this rapid success: community focused growth. The game will be touted to have: tools that can help the player create new buildings; a whole new focus/programming developed around realistic planning and city growth; transit systems that will work from day one; a SINGLEPLAYER (SimCity FAIL!!) and multiplayer, both having the same features; multiplayer mode is a battle for citizens so watch out for the tax wars; the most important feature of all: terraforming. Want to know the upside to all this? If you invest now and G.A.M. gets the funding you get the game you pay for ($15 for the game or $25 or more for the game plus BETA access, along with other goodies as the donations go up). If G.A.M. falls short you get your money back. Worried about being scammed? I have tried the Kickstarter method and one becomes legally bound, through Kickstarter, to create the product/project or return the money; there is no room for scamming innocent people. They have my $25!!
