There are no links within the article to demonstrate notability, IE reliable non-trivial secondary sources. I've searched and found none. The developer still has a web presence, which worked fine an hour ago but now doesn't want to work for me. Regardless, the Kickstarter funding attempt failed (which in itself was just to generate a high-quality trailer to pitch to publishers) and I think enough time has passed to say that the sourcing will not become available until something tangible is released by the developers.

Delete. This is a case of WP:TOOSOON since the game hasn't been released yet and there's no concrete date beyond sometime in 2012. I wasn't able to find any reliable and independent sources to show that this game meets the notability guidelines required for something that hasn't been released yet. If it does get made it's likely that it'll get publicity, but at this point in time there just isn't anything independent or reliable to back up the claims in the article. The only hits that come back about this game appear to be mirrors of Wikipedia and primary sources such as the Steel Toe website. As cool as this game sounds, it's a delete per WP:CRYSTAL.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:03, 12 February 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]
