Shackleton Crater on Kickstarter

These guys are trying to build a as-real-as-possible and still-be-fun moon colonization game.

The most recent update was a request on ideas on how to build large-scale structures on the moon without having to import lots of heavy materials at huge expense from Earth.  So far the idea is to use a solar oven and 3D printing technologies to sinter the moon's regolith powder into a basic construction material.  Making it air tight and insulation, however, are two problems that are still in the air.  The latter is mostly a matter of wall thickness.  Then there's how you provide other materials for other things, like glass, computer chips, and so on.

They've only raised 20k and a week has already gone by.  I'm afraid to say I doubt this will reach its funding goal :/

This looks like it could be really good; but as Brotato said I can't see it getting it's funding
That said, I've said that about many Kickstarters in the past, including Godus which ended up hitting all it's stretch goals.

And that's why I decided to spread it around.

Have any gaming news websites picked it up, yet?

Probably not.  If/when one does, it'll get a giant boost in pledges.  Velociraptor! Cannibalism! skyrocketed when Kickstarter featured us in their weekly newsletter.
