Technically no, Pelikan13 would have to refund backers. Nicalis didn't run the KS.Man, this would truly be a new low for Nicalis if it pans out. Surely, they'd have to refund the backers?

No, I was referring to another indie game. I'd have to look it up, though.
Punch Club was the game. I agree that it's not worth abandoning the platform over, I'm just trying to understand why they would abandon it in the first place.
This is the Kickstarter whose annual "I'm not dead" updates had yet to show any AI vehicles - which are kindof a big deal for something that's supposed to be a racing game. So I wouldn't be surprised if developer incompetence led to a drastic overhaul. But if Wii U and PC backers aren't going to get the game on those platforms, they'd better be getting refunds.
Yeah, for as bad a reputation as Nicalis has, it seems just as likely that the developer(s?) isn't really all that great either. People (including me, honeslty) presumed Nicalis was fucking with his game but maybe he sucks all on his own and Nicalis is just adding more garbage to the pile.
Wii U cancellation sucks, but, let's be real, it's at least kinda understandable.
PC cancellation doesn't make any sense.
Oh, so they're pulling a Project CARS, huh? Well I'll do what I did with Project CARS and boycott the game for this betrayal. Fuck them.
I thought promising a Wii U version in the Kickstarter was misguided, and the combination of delays, poor communication from the dev, and Nicalis's involvement have only compounded that poor decision.
It still doesn't have a release date, right? If they can't get the promised Wii U version out soon, I imagine it's unlikely that it will be profitable.
Game has nailed the visual style of the era it's aiming to evoke, but aside from I'm not sure how good it will be. Still no footage of AI racers, right? Has there been any media hands on with the game?
Correct me if I'm wrong but Wii U was only added as a platform after the campaign was pretty much done, right? Like, it's something Nicalis promised they'd do and not something the devs said they'd do if they hit a stretch goal?
In that case, I think it's fair enough if Nicalis decides to can that version--maybe not sensible or a good PR move, obviously, but if it's not something they explicitly used as an incentive to get more money from backers then whatever, Nicalis gonna Nicalis.
Yeah, that's a good point. I was going from memory and just linked to a thread about it. I probably should've read through it again.I can understand 1.6m being a scary figure, but Durante's correct in that what actually matters is sales and 300k after two-and-a-half months is nothing to sneeze at
I think this makes the most sense. There's definitely something weird going on with that one angelcomm site.I don't think the PC version has been cancelled, though. It seems quite likely that the... sister site or whatever it is, is missing information.
It looks like Nicalis literally fucked them and with no lube at that.Remember when they announced they partnered with Nicalis and everyone immediately told them they fucked up?
I bet they understand that very clearly now.
No, Wii U was added during the active campaign. So were iOS and Android.
Funding spiked after these platforms were announced and about a third of the project's total funding came after this point.
I feel like people might be jumping the gun a little bit. Maybe wait for some official response before saying horrible things about Nicalis.

Pretty sure "waiting for some official response" is part of the whole reason everybody is quick to shit talk Nicalis.I feel like people might be jumping the gun a little bit. Maybe wait for some official response before saying horrible things about Nicalis.

lol at people saying WiiU cancelation makes sense... smh.
Did they lose their domain name or something? What is that website? Why does it list PS2 as a platform? Why does it say a PS4 game came out in 2011?
I can see Wii u, but why PC? I feel like it would probably sell better there than Xbox One.
did PC get arcade ports in the 90s?
Maybe this is just for accuracy to the era
If true, is anyone really surprised? This game has been in development forever, it seems.
This can't be real, right?! I can understand not releasing on Wii U (even though it's a shitty thing to do), but it's incredibly dumb to not release on PC.
WiiU is understandable because the console is deader than dead and aside a couple of people no one cares about it but PC makes me mad
Damn Nicalis can go to hell, the hell i'm buying one of the games with your stamp on it ever again... that won't even be hard as you can't manage to release a single one in a timely matter.
