Fantasy MMO Scars of Honor Kickstarter Falls Short of Its Goal
08.03.2024 - 18:07 / mmorpg.com / Sam Plaisance
Scars of Honor is a 3D fantasy MMORPG that started its crowdfunding journey a month ago, but today, the developers at Beast Burst Entertainment are not celebrating victory or success for their goal.
The funding goal was set at $200k, but as of this morning, they had only raised $34,041 with 261 total backers for the project. The game seems to have received a bit of flack in terms of the gameplay and overall look and feel of the MMORPG, as some say it was a “World of Warcraft knockoff,” but it had a free-to-play model rather than a subscription-based service, of course.
With this unsuccessful attempt at funding, the developers at Beast Burst Entertainment did post in reference to the campaign, where they state,
“We sincerely thank you for your continuous support. You are the driving force behind our journey; without you, we wouldn’t have come this far. As our Kickstarter journey has come to an end, we know that many of you will have questions, so we will answer some of them now. The whole Kickstarter experience was indeed a remarkable one, and we learned a lot, gaining feedback that will undoubtedly benefit our project.”
They then went on to say,
“Although the Kickstarter campaign wasn’t successful, we are continuing to develop Scars of Honor at full speed. Every week new experts are joining our team of 72 people — most of them members of important departments with amazing backgrounds in the industry. Furthermore, our development pipeline was completely reorganized which will help us develop things faster and more efficiently.”
So, this shows that the devs aren’t just throwing in the towel, not to mention that the game wasn’t wholly dependent on the campaign, as they have previous funding from outside sources

One Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Mini-Game Might Get Its Own Expansion
While may currently be devouring players' lives with its excellent reimagining of the classic story, one mini-game is proving so captivating that even Square Enix can envision making it even bigger. One of the major positives about the latest entry in the so-called «Remake Trilogy» is the addition of several carefully designed mini-games that both flesh out the world and prove to be a hoot in their own right. There's a good variety on offer but none has gained a following quite like the card game Queen's Blood.
