Dear Voidrunner, I want to love you so much but you just won’t let me. There you sit, well short of a fairly reasonable Kickstarter goal; teasing me with how great you could be. Your funding video immediately draws me in with some breathtaking visuals, particularly…

I’m a fan of stories set on or around a space station. Shows like Deep Space Nine and Babylon 5 are full of interesting character development and intrigue. While there probably won’t be much of that in Battlestation: Humanity’s Last Hope it still sounds like a…
Okay, so the creators of the dating sim/match three visual novel HuniePop are back at work on another risque game. This time you’re the manager of a “cam girl” operation. To put it bluntly, you’re running a porn business. Plain and simple. HunieCam Studio plays…
All right, bounce buddies. It’s time to unveil the release of the first part of the Beach Bounce visual novel by AJ Tilley. As of today you can purchase the game from Steam. If you’re a backer and haven’t already gotten your code then you…
It should be apparent by now that I’m a huge fan of stories related to chivalry, duty, and honor. The concepts of fighting for a cause you believe in and putting your life on the line for those who can’t defend themselves has always appealed…
The side scrolling action of Endica VII The Dream King will be in your hands very soon. While an exact date hasn’t been announced, the update does give a tentative time frame. They are hoping to release the game on Steam and Windows PC by the…
[dropcap size=big]C[/dropcap]an you believe we’ve already made it halfway through the year? Hundreds of Kickstarter campaigns have come and gone in this short span of time, and as always, only a select few end up victorious. Today we’re looking at those fortunate successes for the…
The dust blows gently in the wind, the sun beating down on the dry and cracked ground. A gruff looking man in a leather coat and hat struts through town with a swagger. His arm a glistening silver chrome. Wait, what? I bet you were…
Recently, long-time developer Tale of Tales revealed that they were no longer pursuing commercial video game production. Although they ran a successful Kickstarter for Sunset, it failed to attract much attention from the gaming populace after launch. This huge misstep caused the development team to…
All right, so I’m not intimately familiar with the Divinity series of games but it is one that I am certainly interested in. While I didn’t back Divinity: Original Sin it’s been on my list to play for a while now. And now might actually…
[dropcap size=big]W[/dropcap]ell, it was bound to happen eventually. The Kickstarter campaign for the fantasy RPG Mooncrest has been canceled by the developers. Based on what I saw of the pitch I was certain it would fail. Not because I like seeing projects flounder. Far from…
The Eighties called. They want their game back. Seriously, Bootleg Systems looks like something that neon obsessed futurists would come up with if they had today’s technology. And I’ll be honest here. I think it looks beautiful. There may not be a whole lot to…
[dropcap size=big]I[/dropcap]’ve been waiting to get my hands on a demo for Order of Ataxia: Initial Effects ever since I first heard about the Kickstarter campaign. Besides being a visual novel, which is a genre that I really enjoy playing, it also delves into a subject…
[dropcap size=big]W[/dropcap]oolfe – The Red Hood Diaries hit Kickstarter with a fantastic concept back in 2014. Seriously, who wouldn’t want to play an action platformer where you play as a “vengeful Red Riding Hood?” It’s no wonder why developer GRIN Gamestudio made $72,193 in all,…
When I first read the tagline for CivCraft I thought the premise was going to fall flat from the start. After all, it’s not often that you see a first-person RPG melded with open world RTS gameplay. But, after looking at the pitch as a…
