The Kickstarter projects, especially of the pixel platforming variety, don't stop coming. So why not talk about another one? We're a little late jumping on the train for the sci-fi adventure Temporus, the campaign for which ends on July 20. The goal is to hit $20,000, but with just over six grand in the bank so far, there's still a way to go.
Temporus by Firebelly Studios is a 2D platformer at heart, but it incorporates random level generation, light RPG elements, and even shoot-em-up segments in the vein of R-Type or Gradius. It's scheduled for Windows, Mac, and Linux so far, but it can hit additional platforms if the appropriate stretch goals are met — $30K for PS4, PS Vita, and Xbox One, $35K for Wii U and 3DS.
One thing that makes me happy about the project is that the soundtrack is being composed by Dmitry "C-jeff" Zhemkov. I've enjoyed C-jeff's music since I heard Preschtale, an atmospheric album that sounds like the perfect soundtrack to an unmade sci-fi videogame. You can listen to some of his Temporus samples in the music players below, which includes a couple of tracks from his previous works.
Give your support to Temporus if you want to help the game hit its goal in time.
