Developers of Monday Night Combat and Planetary Annihilation have posted news on their new kickstarter, stating that it is now cancelled after poor uptake on funding.

"Fellow meat sticks,

I come here today to give a wholehearted THANK YOU to everyone who backed us, tweeted, Facebooked, and stood on an overpass with a sign. It has been deeply humbling to see all the support. We are profoundly grateful to our fans who backed us, the press that has been so kind to post stories, and our colleagues, friends, and family that have supported us through all the emotional ups and downs.

The time has come to shut down the Kickstarter for Human Resources. Every Kickstarter prediction model is showing that we will come up woefully short of our goal. Running a Kickstarter is a full time job for several people. As a small indie, we can’t continue spending time and money focusing on a project that won’t get funded. We simply don’t have the human resources. #seewhatididthere

So what happens now? After we've spent some “recovery time,” which consists of a dark room and probably some sobbing, Nate and I will regroup and figure out what to do next. Who knows what the future holds for Human Resources? One thing is for sure, Human Resources, as pitched in this Kickstarter, is over. But we adore the world of Human Resources and will endeavor to do what we can to bring it to life in some form. "

It looked interesting, but I'd rather see them continue to build onto and improve Planetary Annihilation, as I feel this is the title that will make or break them...and probably did with this funding since they disappointed so many with the release of PA.

I wasn't overly disappointed, but I was kinda bummed that they didn't delay it another couple of months to resolve issues...I felt Beta part Gamma was going well..but wasn't ready for Gold.

This concept isn't bad, but polish what you have into a fine piece and then try this again...you'll get funded. They need to tie up the loose ends they already created first imho.
