Gritty fairytale reboots aren’t a new concept. Many people forget that the original story’s were often far more horrific than Disney would have us believe. Enter Traumendes Madchen, a French dev team that uses a German name to tell unusual stories through visual novels. Their…

The Adventure Pals is an adventure platformer set in a world populated by giraffes, screaming hot dogs, red blobs, and other such strange creatures (well, the giraffes not so much). The gameplay featured in the Kickstarter trailer and the colorful art style make the game…
Honestly, ambitious is a pretty big understatement with this one. There have been some incredible success stories in the short history of Kickstarter, with small groups of devs making millions of dollars to make their dreams a reality. It is entirely plausible for a group…
I’m all for giving to a Kickstarter campaign almost blindly without seeing how it plays out or knowing more than a couple paragraphs of plot in the pitch, but sometimes a project comes along that has me very much on the fence. In the case…
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….
For those of us unable to attend E3 and to see all the cool new games coming out, 100 Stones Interactive has released in the latest update for The Eyes of Ara the teaser trailer being shown off at the show. I have to say…
Our weekly dose of hot takes, occasionally well formed opinions, and fevered outbursts is back; yup, it’s the Question of the Week! Although E3 festivities are kicking off in high gear, so far there isn’t much to talk about on that front – unless you enjoy the Elder Scrolls…
How many Kickstarter-funded games make it to the PlayStation 4? Almost every Kickstarter campaign for a video game has PC as their target platform. It’s only an elite few who aim to bring their game to a console, and fewer still who manage it. Indeed,…
The last update on the Dashkin Kickstarter was all the way back in January 2013, but is this Kickstarter dead? Well, yes and no. We can be rather certain that the near $30K raised to make the endless runner will not bring us the game…
As Soulbound Studios states in their Equipment and Inventory Design Journal, MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria is “unquestionably a survival game” rooted in realism. There’s plenty of evidence that attests to this from the potential of permadeath, to the implementation of aging, to the minimalistic inventory…
Demoniaca: Everlasting Night has risen from the dead, much like its fiery redhead protagonist, and is ready to take over. It’s last campaign failed, but the new one launched on May 10th, 2016 and is creating an even bigger stir this time around. Blending elements…
In an era where games are saturated with laser cannons, sniper rifles, and .44 magnums, it’s refreshing to see a game where all that mindless shooting and killing is null and void. As Kevin Chen, the director of Four Horsemen puts it, “There is combat…
I’m a sucker for a good romance tale, especially one that has some pretty deep themes like trying to fight fate and destiny in order to make one’s own path. In the case of Wingdaria Destiny this seems to have plenty of both which is…
It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Monty Python. I’ve been in love with the British comedy troupe since high school and while there have been games published by them none of them have reached the charm of what I’ve seen with the…
After a bit of radio silence, Flying Carpets have made an update concerning their fairy tale adventure game, The Girl and the Robot. Game designer, Salim announced that the game is nearing the end of it’s development and they are hoping for a Steam release…
Can you believe it? 2015 is over, and with it, I have managed to gather data on Kickstarter video game campaigns for almost the entirety of the year. If you’ve been reading these analyses posts since the very start, then you’ll know that for whatever…
