An unfinished Game Boy Color game will finally see the light of day 20 years after its cancellation.
Right now on Kickstarter, supporters are raising money for Infinity: A Game Boy Color Tactical RPG. The Kickstarter launched on August 18 with a goal to raise just under $13,000. With over two weeks to go, it's already raised over $200,000.
Infinity was originally developed by Affinix Software from 1999 to 2001. After the Game Boy Advance released in 2001, the team says it was difficult to find a publisher for their Game Boy Color game. Infinity was formally cancelled in 2002.
However, in 2016, the game saw new life when an unfinished version was released as a free ROM. Now, team members from Affinix Software have reassembled to form Incube8 Games, with admission to give Infinity a physical release on Game Boy Color.
The game is set to include a tactical battle system, 50 explorable areas, and a runtime of 20 hours. The Kickstarter campaign has already reached its stretch goal for a Steam port, and its closing in on a GBA-enhanced version, which will unlock special content for those who play the GBC cartridge on a Game Boy Advance. You can check out all of the stretch goals and donation tiers on the official Infinity Kickstarter page.
