Well, I am getting it anyway, because you know... It's Muse.

I'm really curious to see how Hamster feels about this.

I've heard Bubbles talk about this on multiple occasions; I'll never doubt the video game mojo from the man who's mind brought us GOI.

Going to have to start practicing my hamster style now so I can be ready to dominate when it's released.

This comes as a complete surprise to me. Fighting games are not my thing, but the micro world idea, where you experience the normal world through the eyes of something a different scale sounds interesting. There is another game in development called "Hamster Eagle Hunter" that plays with the same idea. http://hamstereaglehunter.com/ however to my knowledge that game is being produced by an individual instead of a proven team. I wish Muse the best in all things, because success couldn't happen to nicer people.

I will ask keyvias if he knows who was the brain behind this game and then ask him to thank him kindly.

Now if you all excuse me, I need to train hamster in martial arts.

Wait... how many members are there in the Muse team... 7? 12?

And this small team is now working on developing three separate games at the same time?

And no one else finds this at all concerning?

Course it could be they've worked on this over a longer period of time. Adding bits here and there.

If I understood correctly understood Fireside Chats, there was a call the've won or a competition, and the development of it has been founded by that.
 - Might be wrong tho.

No, because that's not how development teams work. The same people developing Guns of Icarus are not going to be the ones developing this game, and if they are, it's only because they were no longer needed on their portion of Guns. If you start working on a new game, you either have new members on the team, or you have existing members who can be safely transitioned over. You don't just double the existing team's work and call it a day.

So then Muse is increasing their staff, but not putting any of the new manpower towards Adventure Mode? How can I be 100% sure that none of the money I gave them to work on Adventure Mode is being used to fund this NEW staff for this unrelated project? Cause that's pretty damn screwed up if ya ask me.

There's no "100% sure" with Kickstarter. If you didn't trust the organization, you probably shouldn't have given them money. (And that's not directed at Muse—I'm speaking for any project you back on Kickstarter.) You take a risk when you fund something, that is the nature of funding a project. But you do it because you trust the people to deliver something awesome. I have no doubt in my mind that Muse will deliver something awesome.
