PLEASE READ!!! Important Update
9 years ago
A few people have asked us to clarify exactly what is going on behind the scenes here at Quadrangle Games, so we decided to tackle that large topic.
• Our artists are on standby, but no assets will be made until further funding.
• Though many have been generous, we haven’t come close to what we need.
• SP isn’t cancelled, but our focus is to gain investor interest through other means.
Our Kickstarter in 2014 did not meet goal, which means that we didn’t get any of that funding. The generous donations of a few PayPal contributors kept us going for a bit, but that was not even an eighth of the cost to complete our game. We made as many assets as we could, but many on our team left due to lack of funds. Our low cost on Kickstarter was due to discounts these artists had given before they left. Unable to afford new artists, we had to go to find investors.
We are not canceling the project, but we do need to go on a hiatus in order to focus on revamping the Sanctum Polis universe. Some major changes need to be made in order to appeal to investors. This is why we have mentioned our focus on the SP novel on social media, which costs us nothing for now. Content on our website is outdated until our revamp. The comic and lore will continue throughout the summer, and we are here if you have any questions.
We hope for your understanding and continued support. We have been revealing this over time, but decided it was better to simply state this to avoid any misunderstanding. Thank you for those of you who stick by us. We will not give up.

Also suggest reaching out to media outlets like Kotaku (ew) or PCGamer so they can give your project some exposure.
I second Edliam's comments above. Consider Indiegogo (even though it seems less well-known than KS) and consider breaking things into pieces (if practical) so you can deliver something, get exposure with what you shipped, and then fund another round of development.
Good luck. Keep us posted on what you need and we'll all try to help you out.
Just a suggestion, if you're still serious about this game, take the assets you can and move everything over to RPG MAKER MV.
I hope you guys can get through whatever you going through, and come back to this someday.
It's probably the only indie game I've ever gotten so invested in while it was still in its planning stages, and it would be amazing to see it come back some year.
Still keep that poster you guys gave me during my (stupidly obnoxious, sorry if I bothered you guys) younger years.
This remains one of the coolest ideas for a game I've seen, I really hope someday it can be brought back to life. You all sounded like such fantastic people too
