CLANG hits Kickstarter funding goal ahead of deadline

Well done, Internet. Neal Stephenson's CLANG, which aims to be the first realistic swordfighting game, has reached its Kickstarter $500,000 target with another 15 hours still on the clock. The motion-controlled dueling simulation is expected to launch at the end of the year as a multi-player arena effort, along with a full suite of tools allowing other creators to develop their own games based on the core tech. There's still time to get on board, so go check out the sweet pitch video.

Thanks, Kotaku.
