It was an weird decision for 2K to eventually dissolve Irrational Games, the team responsible for the success of Bioshock franchise in the past. Although the latest series - BioShock Infinite getting a very positive response, Ken Levine as the backbone of the studio would prefer to pursue the project narrative-based games in a smaller scale. With the outbreak of Irrational Games, the talent that was under the banner of their spread. One of their latest project that deserve to be anticipated? The Flame in the Hood!
The Flame in the Hood itself will be developed via Kickstarter projects, which means based on donations from the gamers themselves. He himself will take the genre of survival as a base, where your task just trying to survive in an extreme condition, the same concept that was offered by games like Do not Starve. The difference? You will be dealing with a variety of terrain, including the heavy river flow that is likely to be the key of its own. You will play as a character named Scout and his dog - Aesop. Looking for resources, creating better equipment, avoid predators, and disease-fighting game play will be key on this games.
Developers who are calling themselves - The Molasses Flood itself requested funding of about USD 150,000 in one month. The concept is so strong that it is effective to attract donors. In just a short time, they've managed to collect more than one third of funds needed. It is probable, The Flame in the Flood will be released to the market in the future.
The Flame in the Flood itself is planned to be released in July 2015, for PC and Mac.
