Rogue Rocket Games – whose co-founders Nick Bruty and Richard Sun previously worked on MDK, Giants: Citizen Kabuto, Earthworm Jim, and Star Wars: Republic Commando – has announced the launch of their Kickstarter campaign for First Wonder, a hilarious, genre-bending spiritual successor to the critically-acclaimed classics MDK and Giants: Citizen Kabuto.
First Wonder is described as an epic David vs. Goliath story set on the islands of the alien planet Majorca.
“When a greedy corporation arrives with plans to construct a luxury hotel and kick out the island’s peaceful inhabitants, they uncovered a mysterious fossil of unknown origin. Fueled by vanity and greed, the corporation props up the fossil as a tourist attraction. Their plans are foiled when the fossil transforms and the terrifying giant Monstro awakens. Monstro sets off on a destructive path to fulfil an ancient prophecy, and a lowly group of salvage workers, The Cargonauts, are tasked with stopping him. Armed with a variety of weapons and jetpacks, the team must use all of the tools at their disposal to try and match Monstro’s extraordinary abilities. Players will be able to take the reigns of both The Cargonauts and Monstro in alternating chapters in a humor-filled singleplayer campaign and online via asymmetric multiplayer.”
At TwitchCon, Rogue Rocket Games will be giving fans an early taste of First Wonder and offer exclusive in-person backer rewards and prizes. The indie developer has set their Kickstarter funding goal at $500,000 to bring the game to Windows PC in late 2016.
Nick Bruty, Co-Founder of Rogue Rocket Games, said:
“It’s an amazing and highly-anticipated day for us. Giants and MDK hold a special place in the hearts of myself and many fans, and the chance to finally make a successor to those games almost puts me at a loss for words. The seedlings of First Wonder have been in my mind since the days of Giants. Through our Kickstarter campaign, we’re hoping the fans can support us to make this dream a reality.”
Rogue Rocket Games Co-Founder Richard Sun added:
“Nick and I have been planning First Wonder for so long! It’s a wonderful feeling giving the gaming community a look at what we hope to accomplish with First Wonder. Their support will be instrumental. First Wonder is unlike anything out there right now. It’s got everything that fans of Nick’s previous titles love, and so much more.”

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”
