Developer Ground Game Atelier launched a The Time I Have Left Kickstarter campaign to complete development, looking to raise
"Since being showcased on the Future Games Show and IGN Live, we’ve been developing the game without a publisher or investor. In that time, we received two Epic MegaGrants, participated in the Indie Arena Booth for three consecutive years, and accumulated over 24,000 wishlists. Despite those achievements, we have not been able to secure a publisher, and thus have resorted to crowdfunding to finish development."
"The game is over halfway done, but without the support of our future players we aren’t likely to reach the finish line. Rewards for backers include an exclusive t-shirt, digital copies of the stunning art and soundtrack, and the opportunity for backers to make their own mark on the game by designing content in the final game. Stretch goals include porting the game to all major consoles, adding more enemy types, and new areas to explore. "
