Project Rap Rabbit devs discuss future after Kickstarter fails

Project Rap Rabbit's crowdfunding campaign officially concluded at midnight UK time last night, although it had been clear for a while the game would not hit its goal.
In a new blog update posted shortly afterward, the game's development team offered a glimmer of hope that all may not be lost:
