Friday the 13th has come and gone, and that can only mean one thing: I can stop writing about the Friday the 13th: The Game Kickstarter. The game’s crowdfunding ended on Friday, three days after it reached its goal of raising at least $700,000. In total, over 12,218 backers donated $823,704, enough to unlock three stretch goals.
The additional funding will equip Jason with three more executions inspired by the films, including the classic head crush — easily one of my all-time favorites. I’m sure that execution will be particularly calming to Jason. I would understand if he’s a wee bit irritable after missing out on the opportunity to partake in more space murder. Alas, the Jason X-inspired stretch goals would’ve required another $4.5M+ in funding.
In celebration of a wildly successful crowdfunding effort, the folks at Gun Media have shared a brief look at how the game is shaping up so far, as well as a new piece of concept art.
Friday the 13th: The Game is funded, but I’d still recommend bookmarking its Kickstarter page so you can keep up with its development. I’ll also be covering it here, of course.
