In the spate of recent Kickstarter cancellations we’ve a new one to join the name. Seems Uber Entertainment have decided to pull their RTS game Human Resource from the crowd-funding site due to there being the possibility of it not meeting its target in time.

Human Resources would have seen you playing huge gods and robots using humanity as resources in your battles to try and dominate the planet. Two silly factions, destructible cities made up of buildings that could be used as a weapon if you chose and hundreds of units involved in battles managed to net it $400k in pledges which sounds a lot but when you take into consideration that the goal was $1.4 million you can see why Uber considered the takedown at all.

In an update Uber’s John Comes wrote, “Every Kickstarter prediction model is showing that we will come up woefully short of our goal. Running a Kickstarter is a full time job for several people. As a small indie, we can’t continue spending time and money focusing on a project that won’t get funded. We simply don’t have the human resources.”

The game as pitched is over it seems, but Comes hopes to have the world it portrayed live on in some other way.

It’s a shame. Good RTS games are sorely lacking nowadays…
