Project Rap Rabbit, the game from the rhythm-action game from the creators of PaRappa the Rapper and Gitaroo Man, has failed to reach its Kickstarter goal of £855,000 after raising only £162k. The development team still feels hopeful about the future, though.
‘We sadly are not in the position to be able to fund further production for a future crowd-funding relaunch involving a title deeper in development, and wouldn’t want to scale back our vision,’ read a statement published on the game’s Kickstarter page. ‘As a result, work on Project Rap Rabbit cannot continue at this time.’
It’s clear that this joint venture from iNiS J and NanaOn-Sha isn’t being put on ice, however, as the Project Rap Rabbit team apparently ‘had a very, very busy E3 filled with meetings about out vision for the future of rhythm-action.’
The update ends with ‘we sincerely hope this isn’t the last time you’ll hear of Project Rap Rabbit,’ and if someone lumps up some cash, it mightn’t be. But, it appears this rabbit won’t be spitting lyrical flow anytime soon.
