From the Kickstarter page: Jason Rosenstock, co-founder of White Whale Games, is a veteran of Bioware and Star Wars: The Old Republic. There's a video and more info in their Kickstarter page (which, as I understand it, we're not supposed to link to). I'll email the devs to see if they can post more content. Those of us who devoured 70's SF/Fantasy (with their ridiculously awesome book covers) will likely get a big kick out this. According to the Kickstarter video, they're looking at a Summer 2012 release.
Clearly, another huge summer title I am destined to play religiously. Here's to kickstarter and development success, ASAP!
