Amplitude Kickstarter Adds Anamanaguchi, Danny Baranowski And More
The Amplitude Kickstarter is its final five days, and in an effort to make a strong final push, Harmonix has announced a number of additions to the soundtrack. If you’ve played Super Meat Boy, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, or the original Amplitude, you know some of the newly announced artists.
Joining the project are Anamanaguchi (Scott Pilgrim Saves the World), Danny Baranowski (Super Meat Boy, Canabalt), C418 (Minecraft), Kasson Crooker (FreQuency, Amplitude), Jim Guthrie (Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP), and Freezepop (FreQuency, Amplitude). All of the tracks from these musicians are original for Amplitude.
Harmonix says that this Kickstarter project is probably your only chance to see a new Amplitude title, and it won’t be made if the campaign doesn’t reach the $775,000 funding goal. Right now, funding has reached over $384,000, just shy of 50 percent.
For more on the project, you can check out the Kickstarter campaign. You can also read an interview with creative lead Ryan Lesser.
Our Take
Amplitude is going to need a lot of support in a short amount of time. It’s a shame the campaign was only able to run for 18 days, and that is clearly working against Harmonix. Hope is not lost, though. There’s still time for fans to make it happen.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
