Where can I Kickstart something better than Vassal?

[Ferossa]

That's it. That's the question. I will give money to whoever makes it so I never have to use Vassal to play Malifaux again.

 

Things I'd like:

• crew selection style similar to the The Breach app (drop down menus that automatically calculate ss cost, mercenaries, crossover units, etc.)
• selectable options for each model, complete with         visually superimposed over the terrain when the ability was selected
• partnership with Wyrd. I'd pay a nominal fee ($1-5) for crew boxes if it meant permission to use the official art, or maps of canonical places like the Star Theatre (I think the application/overlap with TtB is obvious here)
• maps that highlight difficult terrain and cover
• threat range when you hover over enemy models
• multi-lingual options (side effect: dramatically expands potential player base)

In short, I would like it to play like any number of well-developed indie strategy games on Steam. If anyone thinks this would be a good idea or a fun thing to make, I will give you money.

 

Please don't make me use Vassal.

What is the problem with Vassal? I haven't used it yet, but have only heard good things about it

Vassal is good because it lets you do the impossible, not because it's a particularly good way to play Malifaux.

I like Vassal myself.  However, I would be willing to pay for something better.  That said, Vassal has full support from Wyrd as it is.  It would be very hard to come up with a good alternative, I believe.

Can the XCOM engine be modded for Malifaux?  That would be awesome.
