Spiderweb Software should be a name known to people fans of electronic role-playing games. The team is essentially made up of Jeff Vogel alone, who has been pursuing his vision of the genre for decades with truly splendid retro-style titles. Currently it is looking for funds on Kickstarter for the creation of Avernum 4: Greed and Gloryreissue of one of the most beloved chapters of his classic series, in development for PC, Mac and iPad.
A great series
The countryside, which you can reach out on Kickstarteraimed to raise at least 27,352 euros. The main objective was successfully exceeded. At the time of writing this news there are 1,183 supporters for a total of 66,462 euros. There are 7 days left, so you still have time to make your offer.
If the sum sought seems very low to you, know that Vogel works practically alone (he collaborates with his wife, in reality), so the production costs of its video games are really low (his salary, essentially). Furthermore, if you fear for the feasibility of Avernum 4: Greed and Glory, just think that since 1994, the year Spiderweb was founded, Vogel has launched literally dozens of games. So it’s a guarantee. Some problem can always emerge, but we can consider it as a person reliable and competent in what he does.
The Avernum series is composed of two trilogies. The first, which includes Avernum: Escape From the Pit, Avernum 2: Crystal Souls and Avernum 3: Ruined World, has already been remastered. The second trilogy, which is playable even if you have tried the first, begins with Avernum 4: Greed and Glory. The original title dates back to 2005 and was a huge RPG, full of interesting features, aimed at hardcore gamers.
The minimum bid to access the game is 19 euros. The release date is set for the end of 2025.
