Our UDK version was way too buggy because it was made without a clear system and the big gaps in productivity didn't help in making a consistent codebase.
The best way forward was a rewrite. Having access to UE4 made it a no-brainer to do that in UE4 and C++. Sure, we would need to port Lakehouse, but that level could use a graphical update too by that time.
Development in UE4 is a lot faster and a lot more powerful. We were limited in our visions because everything had to be a model. We couldn't change the texture of BSP (plain walls and floors and ceilings) in UDK on the fly.
So, we need funding to pay a programmer for a few months and then it's done. Maybe we can get it to a playable, but very rough, pre-alpha state for 5000 euros. Which is still twice the amount we got from the Kickstarter.
