    Japanese shoot-em-up developer CAVE is looking into alternative ways to fund their games, according to a new message posted by the developer.

    “Just, it’s just idea, if we set a crowd funding, will it be good?,” said CAVE on their official Facebook page. “Personally it’s attractive,” to which the developer listed the following examples of crowdfunding options:

    • $0.3M to 0.5M: porting a title to Steam
    • $1M: porting it to Steam and PS4
    • $3M: new STG title to a console

    It’s worth mentioning that western publisher Degica is currently porting various CAVE-developed shmups to Steam, with the first game being Mushihimesama.

    Would you support a new CAVE game on Kickstarter?
