Danbury Firm Raises Money On Kickstarter For Fire Game

DANBURY, Conn. - In anticipation of the Burning Man Festival this year, the Danbury company Ar[Sonic] Creations is looking to get funding for its new game Rock Inferno.

Danbury based company Ar[Sonic] Creations have made Rock Inferno before. Since 2010 we have upgraded the whole system & will be adding a second player for Burning Man 2011.

"Rock Inferno is a flame-throwing rhythm action game. When you play well on the guitar-shaped controller, flames shoot into the air!" The pitch on Kickstarter says. 

The group of friends started Ar[Sonic] in 2010 and have since built the game Rock Inferno and showed it at Burning Man Festivals in the past. This year, "Rock Inferno" will be a part of Charcade - a collection of flame-throwing video and arcade games from around the world. 

They are fundraising, they say, to help make upgrades and updates to the game. As of 4 p.m. Wednesday, the fundraiser needed about $2,700 to be fully funded by July 28.

Money will go to help:

  • upgrading the sound system
  • building and designing flame proofers
  • creating visuals for the game
  • buying a new computer to run the game
  • creating a new code
  • improving safety systems and fencing
  • traveling to and from Burning Man

As with all Kickstarter fundraisers, there are pledge prizes, which for "Rock Inferno" are everything from being a liner note in the music to an hour of play on the game for yourself and one other person.
