The people that pre-ordered now have access to "a playable technology sneak-peak"
Looks like it's basically a white environment that you can beat around in and see how the damage works.
Says it includes 24 cars, so I guess the car models are far along.
Not sure when I'll get time to test it out. Maybe not until next week.
The kickstarter page now says:
Funding Canceled
Funding for this project was canceled by the project creator about 6 hours ago.
First of all, big thanks to all our backers. Although our Kickstarter campaign has attracted tremendous enthusiasm, during the last couple of weeks it’s become obvious that we are not going to meet our goal. Because of this we have decided concentrate on our efforts on the pre-order campaign.
We Finns are not used to giving up so easily, and we are hell-bent to keep on developing the game with our supporters, shaping it into something that no racing game fan can afford to pass. We have this thing called sisu in Finnish, meaning strength of will, and we’re counting on that each of you have a bit of sisu in you!
As a thank-you to our faithful fans, we have decided to release a PLAYABLE technology sneak peek, and it’s available RIGHT NOW to all our pre-order supporters. The sneak peek features a playground that we use internally to test various features various like car damage and environment destruction. The best thing about it is that you will get a chance to have fun and wreak havoc with an amazing 24 cars!
In the full game the action will take place on many locations, including a number of race tracks and derby arenas. We're also going to improve the gameplay and technology on many fronts such as car damage and handling, and our Early Access customers will get a chance to experience these improvements first-hand during the Early Access phase!
We really hope that most of you want to continue supporting us and Next Car Game through our website. To make the game happen, we need your support more than ever.
Support us now and get access to play sneak peek right away! Join the team: WWW.NEXTCARGAME.COM
They were only at $82k, asking for $350k and had through Dec 1st to go.
Odd that they cancel it rather than just let it fail or lower their goal.
