iPhone project Republique has reached its $500,000 funding target on Kickstarter after a dramatic 48 hours that saw the final $100,000 raised.
The project appeared almost certain to not hit its finance target, but extensive lobbying from developer Camoflaj had secured a dramatic last-gasp funding drive.
The full $500,000 target was reached with just seven hours remaining.
Republique is the debut project from new Washington studio Camoflaj; a developer established by Metal Gear Solid 4 associate producer Ryan Payton.
Upon discovering the game had hit its final funding target, Payton wrote on his personal Twitter account:
"Thank you everyone! This has been surreal. (Trying not to cry like a big baby right now.)"
