The Something Nerdy Studios kickstarter for their upcoming NES (and PC) title Former Dawn has reached its goal of $160,000. The game is a sci-fi RPG inspired by classic Nintendo and Sony titles like Final Fantasy IV through VI, Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy Tactics.

Key Facts:

Genre: Sci-Fi RPG
Platforms: NES (including TinyNES console) and PC
Kickstarter Goal Reached: $160,000
Special Edition: Backers of any physical tiers can add a Former Dawn-branded special edition of the open-source TinyNES console for an additional fee.
Memory Mapper: Uses a new MXM-1 designer to offer advanced NES experiences with superior memory mapping and expansion audio capabilities.
CD-ROM Emulation: The game will feature CD-ROM emulation for FMV cutscenes, enhancing the retro experience even beyond typical NES games.

This Kickstarter aims to cover development and manufacturing costs.

i didn’t end up backing it because of the tiers they offered. i wanted to pick it up a physical version , but 150 for a physical game in box was a bit rich for my blood. They also offered getting just the bare cart for 80, but honestly if i am putting that down for a game id still want a box for it.

nevertheless i hope it does well as it looks like a fun game. ill maybe pick it up on steam when it comes out.
