You may have missed it, but on September 12th, Kickstarter announced they were officially open to creators from Japan. Considering this news was initially teased over four months ago, I was beginning to think it was never going to happen. But now it finally has,…

The other day, Cliqist Editor-in-Chief and longtime table eater Greg Micek and I were discussing our Where Are They Now? on Keiji Inafune. He suggested that, for the most part, gaming pundits and backers are too harsh on Japanese developers who use crowdfunding. Kickstarter backers…
Like a wistful dream, E3 2017 has come and gone, and we’re left scratching our heads. Was any of it real? What actually happened? Why did it have to go away? The most pressing question of all is “where were the indie games?” For a…
Pride of Indiegogo and altogether great looking game Indivisible will be at E3 2017, as confirmed by publisher 505 Games. What we don’t know is how big a presence it’ll have at the show. Developer Lab Zero has kept their game largely under wraps since…
Fallout: New Vegas is the greatest game of all time. Anyone who disagrees is wrong. Those who say it’s a bad game should be put in jail. Anyone who thinks it’s not as good as Fallout 3 or 4, well… let’s just say those people…
A few days ago, we were lamenting the downfall of Indiegogo. There site has been lacking quality campaigns for months, and the few recent good ones like Long Gone Days and Ghost of Tale have struggled to meet their funding goal. Luckily for Indiegogo, Corecell…
Yesterday, Cliqist Editor, Writer and Strength of Music Embracer Joanna Mueller extolled the virtues of Project Rap Rabbit, a new Kickstarter campaign from the grandfather of the rhythm game. Modeled after Parappa the Rapper, fitting considering they share a creator, Project Rap Rabbit promises to…
Another day, another high-profile Kickstarter disaster. That’s not an altogether accurate sentiment, but it certainly feels like it. Last week, Playtonic released their much anticipated Yooka-Laylee. Unfortunately for them, things haven’t gone well as the collect-a-thon has received mixed reviews (you’ll notice Jim Sterling’s 2/10…
2D platformers are all the rage these days, and nowhere is that more apparent than on Kickstarter. WayForward’s latest genie simulator Shantae Half Genie Hero is one of many examples. Others such as Shovel Knight, Freedom Planet, and Bloodstained are still only the tip of…
Back in July, we wrote about the Decline of Indiegogo over the last few years. Indiegogo claims to be the most popular crowdfunding platform, but the success of Kickstarter funded games brings that into question. 17 games raised more money than Indiegogo’s most successful gaming…
Let me start by saying that I love historical, World War-based games. Whether it’s a good old Call of Duty 2 or a more unorthodox and charming Valiant Hearts doesn’t really make a difference – I find the setting to carry an oddly specific and magical essence in all cases. That’s one of…
Yu Suzuki and Ys Net have celebrated the first anniversary of the Shenmue III Kickstarter and to commemorate this momentous occasion they’ve… released an 80 second video featuring Yu-San looking back at the past year. [embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3rWyxQdkS0[/embedyt] It’s not exactly the most exciting update all…
Our weekly dose of hot takes, occasionally well formed opinions, and fevered outbursts is back; yup, it’s the Question of the Week! This week it’s all about the big guy. Yup, those big name developers with their big name games funding through Kickstarter. Do they belong, or should they…
With recent news regarding Bloodstained and Mighty No. 9, particularly that coming from E3, I wanted to do something a little bit different this time with my Kickstarter Primer videos. Namely, something that I call the “David Vs. Goliath” syndrome. Basically this is just a…
The Lunar Colony development team recently announced that they are terminating work on their project. I poked my head into the comments with that same morbid curiosity of a disaster tourist. Usually, when a Kickstarter can’t deliver, backers tend to become a pack of bloodthirsty keyboard…
You’ll remember that previously this action adventure game caught my eye. Broc Copeland is certainly one of the more committed Kickstarter developers I’ve come across. It is very clear to me that he wants Guardians of the Rose to succeed and is willing to chase that success….
