This is amazing! It's one of those things that you think may be too good to be true, but it is true, and it makes you happy.

Thank you all for working on this project for us :)

Thanks, MatthiasMan, for the avatar!

The kickstarter was to fund a minecraft mod of Redwall Abbey.

This is incorrect. The kickstarter was to fund a fullscale platform game, one of the stretch goals was a minecraft Redwall Server. The server exists , but is stuck in 1.7.2. The full game is under development by Soma Games.

I had heard that some people noticed that when they donated that the funds didn't go towards the game but went to the server instead.

That correction was incorrect. It was actually for just the Minecraft map, but the purpose was deeper than that. It was meant to test the waters to see how well a Redwall video game would be received, and the amount of feedback was enough for them to move forward with the actual game itself. I am of the belief that this is due in no small part to the forum here contributing heavily alongside, the Redwall Wiki. To the best of my knowledge, Soma Games is seeking final funding for the project from private investors, so we should hopefully have news soon (as in a month or two, at least). Fingers crossed!

Ah. Pardon me. I only came on late in the effort.

No.  The Minecraft Redwall map was an extra, side project.  An actual video game is being worked on.

Oh ! is it already here?
Unfortunately, the video game isn't finished yet. :-\  The creators' website is here, though I don't know when it was last updated. :P  But anyway, you can rest assured that it is still being worked on and is actually gonna go through!

Update from Soma. Looks like they're finally getting a proper start after dealing with pain-in-the-tail litigation.

QuoteIt's been a while, but we're still plugging along. Yes it's still in development, and yes everything is going really well. There were many many hoops to jump through on the legal side of things that required a lot of time and energy, but now we're off and running.

In the meantime, we need to hear more from you. What do you want Redwall to look like? What is it about Redwall that is absolutely essential? What would you not be able to do without? We have regular discussions going up on Facebook, so come talk to us!

Well, if I had Facebook I might help with the discussion. Since I don't, however. . . :P
