Hideo Kojima's departure from Konami was a long and dramatic affair, but it doesn't hold a candle to the situation his caricature counterpart faces in Dawn of the Devs from Underdog Studios. This game, currently seeking $65,000 on Kickstarter, has the legendary creator - or at least an alternate reality version of him - facing down hordes of monsters along with two other game developers in a battle to stop the Chief Evil Overlord (CEO) from destroying all of gaming.

At $65,000, a PC version of the game will be funded, with a scheduled release window of November 18. Console versions are tied to the $100,000 stretch goal, while three additional dev parody characters are also unlocked at higher funding tiers. Milo Deveraux (Peter Molyneux) will be added to the game at $70,000, Nick Gable (Gabe Newell) will be added at $75,000, and Shiro Miyata (Shigeru Miyamoto) will be added at $85,000.

A few gentle reminders: every Kickstarter is theoretical, nothing is promised, this is all a gamble, Santa Claus isn't real. Oops, went one matter of fact too far. Sorry!
