Joystiq: Obsidian vets using Kickstarter for 'Steam Bandits: Outpost'
“My inspiration [for Steam Bandits: Outpost] is the original SimCity. It’s upsetting that there isn’t a casual game where you can build a town online and come back later and check out how it’s doing,” said Jason Fader, creative director of Iocaine. “We want our players to play with their friends, not spam them with requests for energy so they can make one more move.”

Here’s a preview of the Kickstarter exclusive Captain, tentatively named Ivan Starling. You might describe him as a cool guy who doesn’t afraid of anything; an admirable trait that has nonetheless gotten him into a bit of trouble. A run-in with a fleet of Badlander ships many years back cost him a leg. Now he’s back on his feet (one flesh, one mechanical!) and ready to return to the sky, at your command!
Ivan is a backer reward! Please check out our Kickstarter and help spread the word.
If you donate $250, you can design a Captain! We will take whatever description you give us (napkin scribble, drabble, bullet point list, oil painting, 1K page NaNoWriMo fic, collage, interpretive dance, etc.) and turn it into a Captain with its own unique missions and bonuses.

Kickstarter Reboot is Live!!
We’ve rebooted our Kickstarter campaign after the awesome feedback we’ve received from the community. The biggest change is our greatly reduced funding goal (now at $30k). We realized that we could still make a great game if we aimed a bit lower in terms of content. If we go above that funding goal, we will add the originally planned content, but having this phased approach will help us better launch this game.
Also, we’ve added physical rewards like posters, shirts, and art books. There are some limited “early bird” rewards for those of you that donate early :-)
Please help us spread the word for this project! We have a lot of great developers that have recently lost their jobs due to industry layoffs. Most of whom worked on Fallout: New Vegas. Help us keep this team together so we can continue making awesome games for you guys!
Thanks!
- Jason Fader, Creative Director
