notes: 'A Kickstarter campaign started on January 25, 2017, before canceled on February
  15th, 2017, with 2,711 backers pledged $172,503 out of a $900,000 goal. Had the
  Kickstarter goal been reached, the plan was to have Apocalypse Now in early access
  by 2019, in time for the film’s 40th anniversary, with a wide release by October
  2020. The game''s platforms would''ve been intended for PC, Xbox One, PlayStation
  4, macOS and Linux.

  - A digital soundtrack would have been obtainable, via the Kickstarter tier pledges
  "Colby" ($95) through "Willard" ($10,000)

  A second attempt to fund the game was also announced on February 15th, 2017, via
  a shift to the website domain ApocalpyseNow.com, with a goal of $5.9 million. The
  developers reasoning for this change was quoted: "To maintain creative freedom and
  produce a daring and intense game about the horrors of war, the project is being
  financed outside the traditional system." 543 backers pledged $174,840 out of the
  $5,900,000 goal, with the last recorded update of November 1st, 2017, before the
  website disappeared sometime thereafter.

  - A digital soundtrack would have been obtainable, via the "Colby" ($95) through
  "Hollow Man" ($1,000,000) tier pledges.

  Part of the game''s soundtrack would have included music created by Carmine Coppola
  from the Apocalypse Now film, as quoted by the developers: "Carmine Coppola collaborated
  to create an extraordinary, dense, textural electronic and symphonic soundscape
  using state-of-the-art synths that veers from psychedelic to operatic. And we are
  very lucky to be able to use this amazing music in the video game adaptation."'
