Developer, inXile, delivered the massively successful Wasteland 2 under the direction of Brian Fargo, and now Wasteland 3 is on the way. Set to release on PC, Mac, PS4, Xbox One, and quite refreshingly Linux (for those of us like yours truly running Ubuntu). The crowdfunding campaign just launched…
A fair warning, a lot of law stuff is about to be spat out. If you have an aversion to that sort of thing, you might just want the highlights. That would be that the SEC (the US Securities and Exchange Commission) has ruled Fig…
Fig, the investment-driven crowdfunding platform we’ve talked about plenty in the past, is known to be supported by a pretty hefty amount of big industry names. Although it remains to be seen whether it’ll be successful in terms of its games’ post-launch realization, it looks like…
Gamekicker is a new crowdfunding website on the scene with grand ambitions. According to them, they want to become the place to go for crowdfunding indie game developer projects exclusively. Their grand plan reaches far further than that – offering up customized and personal support on each…
Harmonix is one of those companies which has gained a lot of love over the years. Heck, as a rhythm gaming fan, they were at the top of my list for over a decade when it came to Western developers. All that good will between…
Somehow I don’t think this is what Fig was originally intended for. Fresh(ish) off the heels of the massively successful Psychonauts 2 campaign, Fig was enjoying a boost in both popularity and credibility. What better way to follow that up than with a PC port…
Hello, I’m Gary. I’ve been writing for Cliqist for several months, covering a diverse range of crowdfunding campaigns and bringing them to a wider audience. I have a confession to make. As you’ve probably already gathered from the title of this article: I’ve never backed…
When we look back at the history of crowdfunding, the success of Double Fine’s Broken Age will undoubtedly be a pivotal chapter. Studio founder Tim Schafer will go down as the man who stood at the helm of such a groundbreaking campaign. Any list of…
It’s December, and in my world that means questionable Christmas songs, Eggnog full of corn syrup, and spending time with relatives you want nothing to do with. It’s funny, I used to roll my eyes at comedians who made that last joke, but as got…
Remember back when crowdfunded games would take risks and give gamers something different than the standard offerings? Those were the days, right? Now with platforms like Fig and Indiegogo offering crowdfunding as an investment option, safer, more marketable games are making a comeback. It’s a…
Last month the SEC (US Securities and Exchange Commission) ruled crowdfunding platform, Fig a viable platform for non-accredited investments. Now that backers were legally permitted to invest in crowdfunded projects it was only a matter of time before other platforms joined the bandwagon. This month,…
It’s no secret that Keiji Inafume’s Mighty No. 9 isn’t exactly a great game. Reviews came along and everyone’s fears proved to be right, a most bitter tasting bite being left for Mega Man fans and all those who decided to support the initial Kickstarter pitch. After a…
Bear Simulator is a highly-rated Kickstarter-funded FPB (First Person Bear) game created to bring bears into the gaming industry. As we all know, bears are a highly under-represented minority in the gaming industry. When they do appear they are objectified as enemies to be slaughtered…
Fig’s latest update is an example of something I call ‘being economical with the truth’. To be clear, I hadn’t heard much about Fig until fairly recently, but it made my spider senses tingle. Fig is a relatively new crowdfunding website that markets itself as…
Have you been looking for a creepy 2D fighting game? If so, this just might be the game for you! FrightShow Fighter looks like Psychonauts and Tim Burton got together and had a nightmarish love child. Created by a company called 3 Fright, which is…
