First off, thank you again for supporting Road Rage late last year.
While the campaign didn’t launch the way we needed it to, the response, feedback, and enthusiasm around the setting and game itself genuinely meant a lot to us.
And importantly:
Road Rage is not gone.
We’re currently preparing a relaunch later this year — this time on Kickstarter — with a stronger launch plan, expanded preparation, and a much bigger focus on building the audience before launch day.
But while working toward that relaunch, we’ve also been building something new.
I'm afraid this is going to be one of those updates.
First and foremost, thank you so much for your support and excitement for Road Rage. We know that a new company putting out a new game can be a big sell and your support has meant the world to us!
We launched this campaign with the high hopes of trading our previous successes into a whole new venture. To celebrate this new endeavor, we came to Backerkit ready and raring to go like we always have! Unfortunately, it became very clear, very quickly, that Backerkit has not been the right platform for Daggerwood Games, or our creative goals.
Because of this, we have made the difficult decision to stop the campaign.
We are genuinely sorry this is the case. The reality is that staying on Backerkit would limit us too greatly and force us to release a product less than you deserve. Starting a legacy of excellence means we only want to produce the very best at Daggerwood Games.
Fret not! Far be it for us to shrink back to the fortress and lick our wounds! We are going to pause, regroup, and relaunch in the right place and the right time! By doing this, we give ourselves a much better chance of success and the opportunity to deliver the kind of gaming product you should expect from us, not a reduced version of it.
This ain't over! We want to do this properly and with a level of quality and care you and this project deserve.
Thank you for you so much for your support and understanding. Your patience with this and your continued belief in us is felt and appreciated deeply.
We will share the new launch date and you can already follow the project over on Kickstarter HERE. We hope you will join us again for this thrilling new beginning.
