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…
When I saw Bloom: Memories launch on Kickstarter I wasn’t sure about it. It looked beautiful and had an interesting premise but I had a hard time being sold on taking the plunge. However, I liked it enough to go in for a copy of…
Fig’s latest update is an example of something I call ‘being economical with the truth’. To be clear, I hadn’t heard much about Fig until fairly recently, but it made my spider senses tingle. Fig is a relatively new crowdfunding website that markets itself as…
Demoniaca: Everlasting Night recently launched on Kickstarter, and at first, I thought it looked quite promising. Sure, the King of Fighters-meets-Castlevania project might have been selling itself partly through the promise of sexually-explicit content, but the decent concept, lovely pixel art and atmospheric soundtrack made…
There is always a good reason to have a demo ready or almost ready when you launch a Kickstarter campaign. While not always necessary it almost always certainly helps potential backers decide one way or the other. Sometimes a demo is almost mandatory when we…
If you’ve been with is for awhile then you’ll notice that two of my coworkers have already covered Wartile before, and generally speaking the response has been positive, both among staff and other journalists at places such as Kotaku, PC Gamer, and Polygon. So you can imagine my surprise…
After a couple of less than inspiring updates towards the end of 2015 there finally seems to be some positive news for Yes, Your Grace. Developer Brave at Night have now confirmed they’re now working with a publisher who have crucially provided them with a…

Eco-warriors, unite! Fire With Fire, the online tower defense game with an environmentally-aware twist is coming to early access on Steam & Razer Forge TV March 29th. That’s less than a week away! Theory Georgiou has released a new trailer to celebrate the fact, which…
If there is one thing I’ve learned about indie game development during my time with Cliqist it’s this: it’s competitive, and without an established, dedicated fan base you wont get far. Examples of success include games like Wasteland 2 and The Dwarves (not yet released but it…
When I wrote about Lobotomy Cooperation last month, I predicted the campaign would have little trouble reaching it’s $40,000 goal. It had a great idea, beautiful art style, and the campaign itself wasn’t lacking for details. Unfortunately for developed Project Moon, the campaign raised only…
Here’s an interesting one. Quern – Undying Thoughts, the Myst-inspired first-person puzzler successfully funded through Kickstarter, has posted an update to its backers. The update, which you can read in full here, apologizes for the recent lack of communication between the game’s developers and its…
Last week marked the 30th edition of the Game Developers Conference (GDC), once again providing ample opportunity for devs to meet and discuss the latest trends and all the wizardry involved in the age-old craft of game development. Needless to say, with Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and PlayStation…
The developers weren’t kidding when they said they were inspired by the Gameboy, that’s for sure. In many ways, Moira is a Gameboy game for the modern generation. It has the retro aesthetic, the simplistic story, child protagonist, and simplistic action-platforming gameplay. There are a…
2008’s Tron/Battlezone-inspired Tank Universal is getting a direct sequel, which developer Phil Jones hopes to fund through the Kickstarter community. Tank Universal was a perfectly respectable game, earning a 7/10 from IGN. The sequel plans to retain the acid-bright colors that defined its predecessor’s aesthetic,…
