New studio KnightMayor seeks $400,000 for fantasy title with Dark Souls combat

Former BioWare devs turn to Kickstarter for new RPG Mooncrest

Four former BioWare staffers have got together to try and crowdfund a story-driven RPG with combat inspired by the Dark Souls series.

Mooncrest is hoping to raise $400,000, of which it has currently had $18,000 pledged.

The single-player adventure promises branching dialogue and character development and real-time combat that studio KnightMayor itself refers to as ‘Souls-style’. Stamina management is important, while players will also be able to parry or evade attacks.
