John Romero and Adrian Carmack have cancelled the Kickstarter for their first person shooter, Blackroom. They are doing so in order to flesh out the concept for the game and create a gameplay demo first.

The pitch for the game had many excited, but there wasn't a lot to show of what it would be like, aside from a few pieces of concept art. Before cancellation, the game had raised $131,052 of its $700,000 goal.

The Kickstarter post reads:

"The team is at work on a demo which demonstrates the kind of gameplay, look and innovative, cool features that make Blackroom truly unique — the things we've waited years to put into an FPS and which make us incredibly excited about this game."

"We're pressing "PAUSE" on the fundraising campaign for Blackroom to complete this gameplay demo. Simply put, this will take more time than the Kickstarter has left, so we've decided to suspend the campaign and launch a new one when the gameplay demo is ready."

Blackroom is an upcoming shooter that harks back to the days of old FPS games, and is in development by a team led by John Romero and Adrian Carmack, two of the creators of the original Doom.
