If it hits $1.5 million the game will come not just to PC but Mac OS and Linux operating systems. The game, described as an old-school, turn-based, role-playing game with a modern look, will also get a lot more content with that extra money.
Key to that funding, though, is that Fargo, like Schafer, promises he will be looking to his backers to help in the creation process.

"It makes sense for us to do this with Kickstarter, but that doesn't mean that publishers should have (backed this sort of game)," Schafer said. "We found a way to organize a niche market, that doesn't mean it still isn't a niche market.
