Since its launch in 2009, it has helped game creators to pitch for funding directly from individuals: allowing successful campaigners to receive funding to create their projects and maintain full control over their property. Kickstarter has, however, changed that dynamic for game developers. In the rich man's world of top tier game development, smaller studios have traditionally struggled to find the necessary capital from publishers or investors to turn their game idea into a commercial release - killing many ideas before they've had a chance to prove their worth (or otherwise). While the project has already seen a fair share of delays - most notably after the decision last year to shift from the Unity engine to the Unreal Engine - backers still got steady updates on the game's progress, including a look at the new art style just last month.When it comes to developing a game, the big problem facing many smaller developers can simply be summarised as money, money, money. The Kickstarter campaign promised the game was coming to PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with a target release in early 2018. The project was originally announced as a faithful remake of 1994's System Shock, the highly acclaimed first-person sci-fi horror game from Looking Glass Technologies. System Shock is going to be completed and all of our promises fulfilled,' Kick wrote. We are taking a break, but not ending the project.

'I have put the team on a hiatus while we reassess our path so that we can return to our vision. Fortunately the hiatus doesn't mean the project has suffered a total collapse, as is known to happen in the gaming industry, but can instead be seen as an extended delay. The news came directly from Nightdive CEO Stephen Kick via an update to Kickstarter backers.
