Found this on Kickstarter, seems like something Facepunchers would enjoy so I decided to share it, didn't see a thread for it.

As video game developers we often get pulled into the land of publishers. While its good to have someone backing your game, it also tends to focus games towards trends, numbers and executive goals. This has sucked the life out of most games and killed off many good studios.

Well here is your chance to be part of a game where the fun is the focus. To do this, we are going to need your help to put the finishing touches on the game, join our beta and help us get the word out.

The Kickstarter funding will be used to

- Finalize marketing and publishing material for Steam
- Finish production of the game trailer
- Set up beta testing equipment
- Develop more vehicles and weapons
- Add finishing touches to gameplay and levels

The game is called Ravaged, a post-apocalyptic vehicular first-person shooter. Think Mad Max meets Battlefield where a group of resistance soldiers fight for humanity while scavengers look to control it all.

The game features over 30 vehicles and weapons, amazing post-apocalyptic maps and 10 classes to choose from.

I always think it's silly when a game touts "Over X vehicles and weapons". It doesn't give a very good estimate on the number of weapons, or the number of vehicles.
