Just a few days after the celebration of April 30, the Vietnamese gaming community received bad news from the project, which was originally meant to honor the big milestone. Hiker Games, the developer behind the 300475 project officially announced its abandonment of the game.
On the fanpage of the game project, the developer announced the sad news: they had to abandon the project, which was in the first stage of development. Right from the start of the project, Hiker Games understood that the crowdfunding model is very difficult to succeed, the number of games that mature in this way is very small.
That fact did not stop Hiker Games from trying, but the Vietnamese studio was unable to realize its dream. Project 300475 is officially canceled, and the development team is working on refunding the players who have supported.
In the article posted on the fanpage, Hiker Games did not specify the reason for stopping the project. But as the developer announced, April 30, 2022 will be the last day of the fundraising program. The new announcement of Hiker Games at the same time confirmed that the studio was unable to obtain the desired amount of capital.
Considering the difficult stages of game development, plus the number of financial backers for the project is quite modest (only 786 people at the time the project was canceled, not able to meet the 20 billion budget set by the studio. originally), the game project 300475 could not come to fruition.
Hiker Studios thanks the community, but they haven’t said goodbye yet. In the hands of Vietnamese developers are still talented people who have a game-making orientation from the heart. If this ambitious project fails, Hiker Games will certainly give a new direction to the next project, perhaps with a more “strong” development path than crowdfunding.
Gamers are still looking forward to the day Hiker Games returns, much stronger than before.
