The lights are on
Superhero-simulation game, Awakened, has resurfaced on Kickstarter to fund a project of up to $500,000 to develop the game for Windows PC.
After starting as a cancelled Midway project, developer Phosphor Games came together to reignite the project and keep it going. After a period of silence, Phosphor Games announce the Kickstarter Campaign to bring the game into development in Unreal Engine 4, once and for all.
In Awakened, you can customize your heroes with the intricate character editor along with a catalog of superpowers like invisibility and stone skin.
If the goal of $500,000 is met, this would allow for Awakened to include the character editor and a single-player campaign. Phosphor Games names off a few stretch goals including multiplayer mode and a full-game editor, which grants the player access to creating their own environments and scenarios.

Sounds cool. Glad to see a defunct game brought back from the dead. That multiplayer sounds like it would be epic of it got in the game.
I'll see if I have some spare change... nope, sorry.
I remember seeing this game a while back and being excited about it, glad to be excited again.
Wish them the best of luck with that.
Gents, I finally have a reason to go to Kickstarter!
This one is worth supporting. Best of luck to these guys.
First Kickstarter to grab my attention enough to support.
See, to me, this looks like a mediocre game. It's a cool concept, and with enough time and money, it could probably be something great. However, that's not what we're seeing here. It already got shut-down once, there's not a very good chance of Kickstarter being able to support what I think this game needs.
I'm not saying they shouldn't get the chance to build their game. It appears you only have to pledge $25 ($20) to reserve a copy, so it'll be cheap, at least.
This one...this one I will support.
I just pledged $25! This game looks incredible.
A child's Superhero dreams come true, I know I will donate!
until I saw the paycheck saying $5278, I be certain that...my... father in law woz like really earning money part-time from their laptop.. there sisters neighbour has done this for only about eighteen months and at present paid the dept on their condo and purchased a new Lancia. go to, http://www.bit90.com
HERO is something I've been aware of for a long time. I've seen videos of it on unseen64 and youtube... it's unbelievable to think that Midway's Psi-Ops team (AWESOME) would've made the first open world superhero game ahead of Prototype, InFamous or even Crackdown had that game come out.
This game NEEDS to come out. They have my $15!
Here's amazing videos of Awakened/Hero in the past:

It is seriously baffling that Warner Bros. didn't pick this up when they nabbed up Midway, and finished it. Remember - this game existed in some form BEFORE Crackdown came out. Astounding.
I know some people are cynical of Kickstarter at this point, but this is one game that's the real deal and really should come out. And it's not like they're Gas Powered Games, asking for a ridiculous amount of cash. This is just $500k, for a retail release! ON UNREAL 4!
That is a awesome screen!
looks like fun and an interesting concept.
I hope they get their funding and it comes out polished and is fun to play.
:)
Ugh. It's for PC. *** it.
