[dropcap size=big]T[/dropcap]he perception of crowdfunding is changing. For years, despite successes, it seemed like something that was still a bit of a mystery to many. Folks regularly claimed how “no games” had actually come out of Kickstarter yet, despite that being false. There’s no doubt…

[dropcap size=big]O[/dropcap]n August 31, 2013 Mighty No. 9 arrived on Kickstarter. With a blue robotic protagonist and side scrolling action both incredibly reminiscent of a series by the name of Mega Man, the campaign caused quite a stir. Keiji Inafune may have been unable to…
[dropcap size=big]E[/dropcap]very week we take a brief look at all of the Kickstarter video game campaigns that launched in the previous week. This isn’t to say that all of these projects are worth your hard earned cash, but with any luck having all of them…
If there’s two things I hate in the gaming industry today that everyone else loves, it’s Bethesda and nostalgia. Bethesda has a long record of suing indie developers over spurious copyright claims while pretending to be the victim. Meanwhile they’ve been ruining Fallout and The…
Yooka-Laylee is not a very good game. Its creators, Playtonic, wrapped it (and themselves) up so firmly in nostalgia that it ended up choking them. This can’t be too surprising and not just because the Kickstarter sold itself on its similarities to Banjo-Kazooie. The people who created the…
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…
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…
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,…
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…
Some time ago I wrote a piece titled Fixing The Kickstarter Video Game Bubble. In it I contend that crowdfunding backers should be spreading their funding across more projects. Instead of dropping a hundred bucks on a single project, backers could better serve developers, themselves,…
Hey everyone, My name is Nick Calandra and I’m excited to be joining the contributor team here at Cliqist. As I’ve finished up my second year of college and have just switched my major to Multimedia Journalism, I figured it was about time I’d try…
On the first day of its campaign, Tokyo Dark was a success with backers and nailed its $33,000 funding goal. This 2D mystery point-and click adventure game is the latest from the Square Enix Collective, a platform that has certain similarities to Steam’s Greenlight in that…
16BitGenocide on Tech Noire Adventure Afterimage with Greg Micek Afterimage is one of those games that’s striking from the moment you see it. The imagery brings back memories of various cyberpunk themed games from the 90’s, such as Syndicate and Blade Runner. I recently had the opportunity to…
