Here's hoping the second time's the charm

While covering the PC news desk at Destructoid I've been exposed to a lot of wonderful Kickstarter projects but it's rare that I come across one with as much visual polish as Pyroclastic Games' Ashen Rift: A man and his dog. As a fan of both first-person shooters and post-apocalyptic settings, this game looks highly promising.

Interestingly enough, this isn't the only time we've covered the project. Back in March, Ashen Rift went up for its first attempt at crowdfunding on Kickstarter and fell short of its original goal of 45,000CAD. Less than one year later, the studio has regrouped for another run at securing funding. I sincerely hope they can pull it off this time around because Ashen Rift is a game I would like to be playing yesterday.
