What does that imply?

IAmSinistar: Still hopeful this game will get some kind of release.

In other news they crosslinked to another game undergoing funding, The Universim. Looks promising as well, and would be nice to see it on GOG if it makes.
It does look promising, it even has its own thread here :)

Thanks, glad to see there is interest here on GOG!
Bumping this thread since there are only two days to go and this Kickstarter is a horrible train wreck that hurts our eyes to look at.

I've made it clear time and time again that I don't enjoy this game at all, but if you care for Outcast, go pledge and try to save this campaign, it's really sad to see a project so many people cherish fail this hard. I think this is the only Kickstarter campaign I've ever seen losing money in the last few days, instead of getting the usual (much needed) final stretch fund injection... so, all you Outcast fans here on GOG, it's time to show how much you really care for the game.

Go give Franck Sauer your money here:

Unfortunately I think this was doomed from the start. Most of the money came in the first 4 or so days from original Outcast fans. After that its hardly moved, I think its just too old to be revitalized by the cult community that's left. Its a shame but quite frankly it needs around 7,000 more backers (judging from the rates of successfully funded projects); I think most of the slow progress being made right now is from people who are already backers upping their support. If their lucky it will get a second chance on steam greenlight to be developed.
They have not yet said that if they do not get the funding then they will stop working on it, so I have a feeling they will continue anyway.

Steam Greenlight is actually pretty worthless if you don't have the money to fund your game. The only Kickstarter I backed and failed was Shadow of The Eternals, a spiritual successor to Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem by the team that had made the first one. The game got almost instantly greenlit on Steam Greenlight, but that didn't change much, all they know, now, is that whenever they get the money to start making the game, they can add it on Steam with some minor help by Steam tech-people, Early Access and Betas and that kind of crap. Steam Greenlight doesn't give the devs any kind of money or major help in getting their games made, it's just a platform that gets them some (a lot, actually) exposure and publicity. But that isn't worth much if you don't have a game to show, yet.

I mean they could use STEAM to generate a wider interest for when they try again.

I hope so. All things considered their new update vids are pretty cool.
