Thorvalla Kickstarter Campaign Update #12, Campaign Cancelled

With only $47K of $1 million raised halfway through the campaign, the guys behind Thorvalla have decided to cancel the campaign. They have stated earlier they would not reboot the campaign, and indeed the update makes no mention of trying again later.
When we started the Kickstarter campaign for Thorvalla, we did so with the best of intentions, to build an exciting role-playing game, putting to use our countless years of experience in the industry and knowledge how to build solid RPGs. It took a lot of work to prepare this campaign and it took the team two months to prepare the initial pitch and the materials to go with it, so it was not something we took lightly.

At this point, however, it has become evident that there is not enough interest in and public support for such a game, and that we will not able to raise the funds necessary to make Thorvalla.

We are therefore canceling this campaign.

But not all is lost. The project may not have found the backing we needed to make it a reality, but if nothing else, it showed us that many of you do care. The 1,300+ backers, the countless messages and posts are testimony to that, not to mention the generous financial support many of you pledged. Many of you wanted to see this game made very badly, and we know how disappointed you must feel at this time.

Believe me, when I say that we feel with you and we feel for you. You are the real fans and you will always have a special place in our hearts as those who believed in us and our vision!

Even though it didn't succeed, we are very proud of Thorvalla, and we are glad that we tried, rather than never having tried at all.

Thank you all so much for your support.

The Thorvalla Team
