Danish independent developer Logic Artists is seeking additional backers on Kickstarter for its second published game project, Expeditions: Conquistador. At the time of posting, the project has raised over $63,000 of its $70,000 goal with six days left for additional backers to support the project. Gameplay involves players assuming the role of a Spanish conquistador and followers in a quest of exploration. The developer describes the project's primary theme as revolving around decisions and their various consequences that arise during gameplay.
