Red Baron Kickstarter aims for revival
The classic PC flight sim Red Baron is aiming to take off again, with a $250,000 crowd-funding target and a prototype video that shows some dogfighting action.
The classic PC flight sim Red Baron is mounting a comeback, backed by the power of (what else?) crowd-funding. Developer Mad Otter Games has announced plans for a modern Red Baron, with original creator Damon Slye in the cockpit.
Mad Otter is aiming for $250,000 in funding on its Kickstarter. The pitch video shows prototype footage using the actual game engine, and the campaign pointedly states that it is not switching to a free-to-play or subscription model. Ultimately, the goal is to make a 30-mission tour, customizable aircraft, historical aircraft, and both period-accurate and MOBA-style multiplayer maps.
Shacknews' crowdfunding policy requires games to have a prototype for front-page coverage.

I hope they succeed and make a good game. I loved Red Baron.

Is this needed when we have Rise of Flight and some other pretty good WWI sims out now?

granted, I loved the Red Baron campaign and played it a ton

I thought there wasn't going to be no more kickstarter games for news here anymore? Or did that change again?
