Peter Molyneux Begs for More Funding for "Curiosity: What's Inside the Cube Servers"
22 Cans project requires cash... who saw that coming
UK video game legend, Peter Molyneux has radically under-estimated the server load on his 'life changing' title Curiosity: What's Inside the Cube?. It should have seen millions of people tapping away at their screens to reveal the contents of the virtual box. Instead, many people are waiting to even join the 'game'.
The 22 Cans studio has released a video asking for help. You can see that below. However, the game did start as a freebie. It also started with the intention of attracting millions of people drawn to the man who made Fable, Syndicate and Dungeon Keeper and other classics - and who always "talks a good game".
Basically, the game or 'experiment' (which sees players from all over the world tapping the shell or shells of a cube to reveal a secret) has been suffering from a variety of bugs that are stopping this tapping. Bugs that, in any other game, would have been fixed pre-release. The company states this on its own website:
"We are a small independent developer and due to popular demand we now offer the option for kind people to donate, so that we can make Curiosity the best possible experience it can be. However big or small the donation; it will really help us make Curiosity better."
In the video Peter Molyneux says, "We are desperate to get these bugs fixed. And the reason we are desperate to get these bugs fixed is that we want to carry on with this experiment."
