It’s been exactly two months since Kickstarter started accepting projects from the land down under, namely Australia and New Zealand. The last time we checked there were 12 projects across a wide variety of genres that launched in the first 24 hours. Funding targets ranged…
During our unfortunate hibernation there were remarkably few noteworthy projects to come and go on Kickstarter. Maybe some developers realized that asking for money on December 24th isn’t a surefire plan to a successful campaign, or maybe developers just didn’t want the hassle of managing…
Someone describing their game as a mix of Star Wars Galaxies and Ultima Online makes me hold my wallet a little tighter while thinking about who I can punch. Both games have an extended history of frustration, failure, and more frustration, so why should I…
The good folks at Steam recently announced a new round of Steam Greenlight graduates, games that have been approved for sale on Steam, provided they are ever completed. Of the 100 titles approved in this latest round, 26 of them involved either Kickstarter or IndieGoGo. That’s…
Futurepoly’s Jason Stokes recently took some time out of his hectic work schedule to speak with us. Why would we want to talk to him? Jason isn’t just the guy behind a great looking school for game artists, he’s also the creator of Bullet Bros,…
Star Control in an infinite procedurally generated universe. That’s the point where designer Bob Saunders could drop the mic and walk off the stage when describing his upcoming game, Approaching Infinity. Of course when asking for money it’s usually a good idea to provide a…
After a brief holiday break how about we get things rolling again with a small pixellated platformer? Super 16 is the brain child of Ben Anderson, a guy that’s been making 2D games as a hobby for nearly 10 years. We had some trouble tracking…
It’s never fun to see a game struggle through its Kickstarter campaign, especially one as promising as After Reset. This Fallout inspired hard-core RPG has everything you could want; cool post apocalyptic setting, non-linear story, tons of character customization, an enormous game world, solid graphics,…
You see all kinds of games when trolling through Kickstarter projects, take Talk ‘Em Down for example. It’s a game where you have to try and talk people down from the ledge of a building so they don’t commit suicide. Isn’t that positively cheery? Did…
Mr. Alex Schwartz of Owlchemy Labs was kind enough to answer some of our questions recently. Who exactly is Alex Schwartz? He’s one of guys behind the upcoming survival game Dyscourse, of course! If you’re not already familiar with Dyscourse then shame on you; you…
What do you get when you mix the classic board game Clue with some Kairosoft style graphics and gameplay? You get Mansion Lord, a role playing business sim from Golgom Games that’s currently on Kickstarter in an effort to raise some money. In Mansion Lord…
Blobs have a long illustrious history in videogames; from A Boy & His Blob, to Chronic Logic’s fantastic Gish, there’s something gamers love about a character we would be repulsed by in real life. And now Extend Studios are Kickstarting their own entry into the…
Judy L. Tyrer recently took some time out of her busy schedule to talk to us about the MMO she’s currently seeking funds for on Kickstarter, Ever, Jane. This unique online RPG tosses much of what we’ve come to expect from MMO’s; namely killing, looting,…
Festival of Magic is a cute looking hybrid of a game that features magic, fantastical creatures, turn based combat, an epic story, and…. farming. Yup, farming! You control Amon, a young desert scavenger on Umbra; a planet that has stopped spinning and is now cast…
Cat Banana Studios have launched a Kickstarter campaign for their voxel filled sandbox game Imagine Nations, and they’re shooting for the stars. A mix of Civilization and Minecraft, Imagine Nations tasks players with growing their civilization from the Stone Age to the Space Age. Starting off…
I gotta be honest, I’m really not sure what to think about this one. On the one hand I can appreciate the satire in making a cop a demonic beast in uniform out to kill all the bad guys. It has a very 90’s arcade…
