Umbra - Kickstarter Update

Things are going well at the moment for Umbra as far as their Kickstarter is concerned. They gathered $55K in just 2 days with stil 29 days to go to try and reach the requested $225K.

They now provide us some information on gamepad control, DRM and Linux. In addition there are also two video previews of the game.

We hear what you're saying, and we understand that some of you are curious to see what our stretch goals are, and what the amounts for said stretch goals will be. At this time, we're completely focused on getting the campaign funded and feel that revealing stretch goals so early in the campaign is not the way to go, but rest assured that you WILL get to see them soon.

As for gamepad support, here is the current status: There is an early implementation of pad and Xbox controller in the game. However, this implementation is not fully complete, and would require more work to fulfill. This is why pad/xbox controller support has been set as a stretch goal, we want to do things properly and not just give you a slap dash port of controls. We want it to feel right, natural if you will and this will require time to develop, especially the menu systems for spells and actions.

About DRM, yes, there will be a no-DRM version of Umbra for Kickstarter Backers! This is on top of the Steam backers you'll all get for your pledge (so don't forget to vote on our Steam Greenlight page).

Linux version? Yes we will support it!
