Almost 6 months after their last update, DDT Games released a backers-only update for ThanksGiving LIFE cryptically titled “The progress of the TGL after Kickstarter campaign“. After a frantic spattering of updates as goals were shattered, the developers were able to raise $18,021 by November…

For those who’ve never experienced depression, trying to understand its devious machinations can seem overwhelming. When it’s happening to someone we love, all we want to do is help, but sometimes our best efforts can come off as clumsy or unfeeling. When it’s happening to…
Point and click adventure game Memoranda received $25,625 CAD ($19,712) in pledges back in November 2015 but in the five months since developer Bit Byterz had posted zero updates. That’s now been rectified in April 2016 even if the update is only to apologise, point…
I’m a sucker for adventure games, usually no matter the plot. And I’m also a sucker for comedy games, which is why checking out and backing Demetrios last year was a no-brainer for me. Even the demo had me wondering if I should laugh or…
Fringe Theory just isn’t going to make it. Sorry, but it’s more than halfway through its campaign—launched on March 30th –and its only raised $2,337 out of its required $50,000. You read that right, $2,337. And I didn’t miss a zero. At this rate Fringe…
The concept of flow, although originally nestled exclusively within the field of psychology, is a term used by many game designers when looking at achieving “immersiveness” and atmosphere in interactive form. It basically describes the moment when someone enters a highly focused mental state, forgetting…
One of the most dark and disturbing sci-fi horror games to come out in recent years was the very much well-received crowdfunded adventure game Stasis. And, despite its isometric angles (I’ve never been much of a fan of this style of play) I loved playing…
When I saw Avorion on Kickstarter my first thought was that the developers were being a little optimistic with a goal of €15,000. However, after coming back to the Kickstarter and having a deeper look I actually think it has potential. Avorion is a sandbox game…
The society which (and certainly many of our readers) I live in is terrified of sexuality. For whatever reason, depictions of outrageous, obscene violence is okay throughout our media but not romantic and sexy interactions between consenting adults. This makes it incredibly hard for some…
Harmonix is one of those companies which has gained a lot of love over the years. Heck, as a rhythm gaming fan, they were at the top of my list for over a decade when it came to Western developers. All that good will between…
It should go without saying by now that I’m a big fan of yuri visual novels. Which is why when I saw Starlight Vega launch on Kickstarter I had to back it. And as of now everyone can finally play the game. According to the…
There are plenty of games out there that deal with absolutes. You know, the ones that dive into light versus dark…good verses evil…black and white. However, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one taken quite as literally as Happy Dude. Now, I’m not much of…
Since the inception of Mable and the Wood’s Kickstarter campaign on March 28th, it’s already received over 60% of its required £7000 funding, with just over 400 backers to boot. With only two weeks left, it will be tight, but it looks likely that creator…
To me, there are few games as engrossing as well-made point-and-click puzzle adventures—nothing catches my eye quite like the intersection of intellectual challenge and stellar artwork. LUNA – The Shadow Dust looks like it’s shaping up to be yet another title that I, and other…
Over the last week, I’ve written David Hayter’s name more times than Hayter himself probably has in his entire life. Whether it be writing the script for CAT: Bloodstained, it’s follow-up article, the script for today’s video, and now this follow-up, I feel I could…
It’s been a while coming, but as of the latest update for reggae adventure Bolt Riley the first chapter is still set for its initial release date of April 20. That’s right, 4/20. Go ahead and snicker. I know I did. And that date wasn’t…
