I’ve recently covered adventure games and how they fare on Kickstarter, but what about those that finally get released? I want to take a look at these projects and how they have done since release. There have been a number of crowdfunded games that have gone…
When it comes to adventure games I try to back as many as I possibly can on Kickstarter. Of course, there have been way too many over the past four years and change that I only managed to get on board about 134 of them,…
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…
It’s that time of year again, summer video game sales! GOG was first out of the gate with their sale, and they started things off strong with some amazing deals. In the interest of showing off the large number of great Kickstarter funded games available, as well…
Hey, do you remember Pyschonauts 2? It was funded on that site called Fig a few months back, by Tim Schafer and Double Fine? I know it can be hard to remember, Double Fine has really slid off into the background with this game, haven’t…

Well that’s that then, the Sociable Soccer Kickstarter campaign has been cancelled after only two weeks. The news doesn’t come as too much of a surprise given the ‘spiritual successor to Sensible Soccer’ had only raised just over 10% of its £300,000 ($453,000) target and…

K[dropcap size=big]K[/dropcap]ickstarter, and crowdfunding in general, is a unique experience that allows ideas to come to fruition and it lets a developer keep in touch with their fan base. And the good ones keep this conversation open long after the campaign ends, going so far…
[dropcap size=small]D[/dropcap]o you remember the Kickstarter video games heyday? I certainly do. Although the website has existed in some capacity since 2009, it was only when Double Fine took to the site in 2012 that a majority of gamers finally discovered its existence. Now, we’re…
