Last week, I wrote a report on the development of an independent Western-developed JRPG title called Soul Saga that was looking to reach a lofty goal of $60,000.00 via kickstarter. After one week, I'm happy to report that not only has the title reached the initial goal Mike Gale set, but it's well on its way to reaching numerous stretch goals including voice acting, console appearances and expansion of the game's fascinating universe.

I'll admit it, usually I'm wary of participating in any sort of crowdsourcing project on kickstater despite the fact that I spent some time after graduating college doing some indie game development myself. Will the project ever get completed? What kind of guarantee will I have that even if the goals are met that the project won't fall flat on its face? Those are the types of questions that have made me very wary about backing any type of project. However, when I saw that there was someone out there who had the same amount of ambition that I had fresh out of college before I entered the professional workplace, I just knew that I had to support his project- in this case Mike Gale's kickstarter JRPG project Soul Saga.
