Unfortunately, it’s looking like Project Ravensdale won’t reach its Kickstarter goal. Black Forest Games will need to raise over $400,000 within the next three days, which is just improbable at this point.

But there is good news! Even if the Kickstarter ends unsuccessfully, Black Forest Games doesn’t plan on cancelling the game “any time soon”.

The studio wrote in a new blog post:

“We’ve been getting a lot of messages about what will happen to the game if the Kickstarter does not succeed, and we want you all to know that while unfortunate, it won’t be the end of Ravensdale. We want to make this game and while it may be a while until we can secure the funds in order to produce it, we aren’t planning on scrapping it any time soon. Without the success of this Kickstarter the game will not be made for some time, but we will keep you updated with any movement regarding the project on the dev blog.”

Black Forest Games recently told us that they were interested in bringing Project Ravensdale to Wii U. Hopefully that will still be the case in the future!

Ripstone has officially announced Knytt Underground and Pure Chess for Wii U following the titles’ reveal during last week’s Nintendo Direct. Both are scheduled for a release towards the end of 2013/start of 2014.

Ripstone co-founder and creative director Phil Gaskell commented on the news, and also confirmed more support for the eShop in the future:

“We’re committed to helping developers bring their games to as many digital channels as possible and this announcement demonstrates that commitment. We think Nintendo gamers are going to love spending hours exploring the world of Knytt Underground and will be blown away by the visual quality of Pure Chess, and we hope to announce more games for eShop in the future.”

One other important piece of news: Ripstone has confirmed that Pure Chess will be coming to the 3DS as well. When this version will be launching is unclear, however.

Black Forest Games announced today that Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams will be launching in Europe and Australia on August 22. Pricing is set at €14.99.

Twisted Dreams is scheduled to arrive in North America as well, but a release date hasn’t been confirmed as of now.

Along with the release date news, Black Forest Games passed along an overview of the game’s features:

· Mobile – fully playable on the Wii U GamePad.
· Casual welcome – New easy mode for casual gamers. Hardcore and Uberhardcore Mode still supported.
· Challenging Levels – Discover three distinctive worlds with 23 challenging levels. Each one transforms from fluffy nightmare to spooky dream by a push of a button.
· Personal Style – Whether you like speed run through each of the amazing levels or take your time exploring even the last secret of Giana’s dreams. It’s up to you.
· Lush graphics – Detailed landscapes morph from lush, colorful surroundings to surreal, spiky nightmare worlds. It doesn’t matter how often you’ll see it, you’ll detect new details every time.
· Amazing puzzles – Blocked pathways open up when Giana transforms: pretty flower beds mutate to thorn covered bushes and diamonds can only be collected in one form or the other.
· Legendary Soundtrack – listen to Chris Hülsbeck’s tunes changing from Chiptune to the metal riffs from SID-Rockers Machinae Supremacy.
· Epic battles – from vicious gargoyles to magnificent boss-monsters. You’ll need every trick in your sleeves to master all the challenges that lie ahead of Giana.
