Well that didn’t take very long did it?

Only yesterday we, along with much of the internet, were reporting on the new Kickstarter campaign launched by Brendon Laatsch of Freddiew fame.

Yet now it seems that the project is cancelled, quite possibly forever.

This cancellation appears to stem from a lack of permission from the very people behind the game, bloody rookie mistake if that’s the case.

All of this seems to have occurred since the below tweet from the games developers.

We don't allow half a million kickstarters based on our ip without any deals in place. — Markus Persson (@notch) February 7, 2014

So far there has been no press releases from either party, just the above tweet. We will watch this story closely and bring you updates as we get them ourselves.

As of writing this article the Kickstarter Campaign has been taken offline. It does look like they would have made their target if it wasn’t for this issue over rights. And the film certainly looked like it could have been excellent.

The concept video which was released has also been taken offline.
