About 7000 people have so far pledged more than AUD$330,000 to see a Brisbane-born idea come to life.

Proposed game Satellite Reign is the brainchild of a group of Brisbane gaming developers who call themselves “5 Lives”, and it's a project they're hoping can revive Brisbane's gaming industry which thrived up until about 2009.

Artwork from Satellite Reign, a Brisbane game likely to be funded by crowd sourcing.

A Canadian CEO and entrepreneur Steven Dengler has pledged the biggest amount - $7801 to secure his name and likeness appearing in the game as an evil CEO, if it gets produced.

Satellite Reign is currently little more than conceptual artwork and a few animations, but it’s generating considerable excitement and looks likely to raise the funds needed for production.
