Despite my love and enthusiasm of a project I will have to admit that a long period of silence between updates does leave me with less than pure optimism. Even one that has me as excited as Zeebarf’s The Ballads of Reemus 2, which was…

The three day streaming event for the card game and strategy game hybrid Labyrinth has come and gone and while I didn’t stream it I was given a key nonetheless. And with Free Range Games’ blessing I wanted to show off what has been done with the game…
Adventure games are my life. I grew up with them and I still can’t get enough of new titles as they come out. Of course, back in 2012 I came across a number of great crowdfunded campaigns in this genre, including a Quest for Glory…
Kim is an unusual game for a number of reasons. Its classic looking cel-shaded graphics, unique setting, and Rudyard Kipling inspiration make for a type of project you don’t see every day on Kickstarter, but one that is perfect for the platform. With two weeks left in the…
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…
We reported on the suspiciously named Amplitude: A Visual Novel last week, and that it had a public demo available. Today I had a chance to play it, and came away pretty impressed. You can watch the video for yourself above, or if you hate…
You might have seen the drama over Twitter last week. Need a refresher? Here’s what happened: a tweet was posted from the account of prominent industry figure, Peter Molyneux, announcing not only the cancellation of his latest, crowdfunded endeavour, Godus, but the developer’s retirement from…
Yandere Simulator is easily classified as one of the more ambitious crowdfunded projects I’ve come across in some time. Raising nearly $4,800 dollars per month, its sole developer goes by the moniker of YandereDev and works on it full time. That’s 24/7/365. YandereDev describes his project…
It’s rare to see a game focus on repetition in the story. Sure, there’s a lot of genres out there that use things like grinding and such to inflate play time but we don’t see a “return to the beginning” concept very much outside of…
Two years and over forty updates after the launch of the Kickstarter, the first part of The Slaughter has finally been released. Developer Brainchild has kept backers in the loop with new information on nearly a monthly basis since the campaign ended and I’m happy…
From the makers of the original Thief and Deus Ex 2 comes Sword of Gary 6000. It’s a bit like Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out, but with aliens for added good measure. Apart from the fact that this sounds like the best elevator pitch ever, Sword of…
It’s always sad to see a successfully crowdfunded project fail, but it’s especially heartbreaking for one that you cared deeply for. In this case, Ken Allen has just announced in the latest update for his musical composition Under the Half Dome will be shelved for…
A couple months ago an interesting take on the card game genre was funded on Kickstarter and a lot of work has been put into Labyrinth since then. I had covered the previous demo during the campaign and as of this weekend fans will be…
The Orion Trail is a very hazardous place, full of perils and pitfalls around every corner. It takes a keen mind and wits of steel to make it from the start to finish. Throughout each leg of your journey you’ll be forced to use your resources…
This has been a crazy road,” waxes Truceful Entertainment after their failed Kickstarter campaign for Fritz. It sounds like either the start of a high school graduation speech or the beginning of a Kickstarter update. You can’t blame them though; the campaign for Fritz might…
AJ Tilley is back on Kickstarter for another visual novel that he wants to get funded, and like his previous titles this one focuses on dating some lovely ladies. For those who have been keeping up with his past Army Gals will be the first…
