The German developer studio Fairytale Distillery was unable to reach the desired 50,000 euros to finance the PvP MMO The Valley.
Only 520 supporters came together and enabled a total of 32,826 euros. However, the developers of the game do not see any of this money, as Kickstarter only collects the funds if a crowdfunding campaign has been successful. In the last 24 hours, it was even possible, to try the game for free, but this did not help – the financing has failed.
Looking at the comments on the Kickstarter website, many believe that while The Valley is a good PvP-focused game, it is not worth 50 euros. Many would only pay between 20 and 30 euros for it. Additionally, many testers criticized that there would be nothing to do in the game other than fighting. However, it is still an alpha version where not all features are included. Crafting and building structures and cities are supposed to be possible later.
The End is Also a New Beginning
Fairytale Distillery thanks everyone who participated in the crowdfunding campaign on the Kickstarter page. However, the failed financing will not mean the end of the game. However, the release will be delayed as they must try to obtain funds elsewhere. The team assumes that they will first have to complete some contract work before they can fully focus on The Valley again.
Those who participated in the Kickstarter campaign will receive a personal email with a link and a key through which they can obtain in the game’s online shop the same rewards they would have received through Kickstarter. The developers were very pleased with the active participation in the 24-hour test and were able to gain some experiences from it that should ultimately improve the game.
How exactly things will proceed with the PvP MMO The Valley and what the roadmap for further development looks like will be announced by Fairytale Distillery shortly on the official website of the game.
