I’m a big sucker for weird games, and the more surreal and strange the better. Two years ago, a post apocalyptic comedy adventure caught my eye on Kickstarter and I couldn’t back it fast enough. Paradigm was pretty much everything I wanted in one crazy…
Gavan Woolery launched the Kickstarter campaign for his Voxel RPG Sim back in November of 2014. Funded for $35,213 of its $30,000 goal, Voxel Quest had an impressive start, with frequent updates and developer Twitch streams. Everything seemed to be going as planned until suddenly…
Twenty-five years ago the team behind the Last Ninja series produced an innovative new title for the Commodore Amiga. Featuring beat’em up action mixed with exploration and RPG elements, First Samurai pushed the limits of 16 bit graphics. Now, Mev Dinc and Raff Cecco hope…
I don’t know what Interceptor Entertainment, the folks behind Rad Rodgers, is trying to pull. They released an update saying they had finished a prototype for an Super Nintendo cartridge. It’s just a copy of the game on a USB drive that you can connect…
In May 2013, a 2D Metroidvania styled platformer named A.N.N.E. received $100,272 on Kickstarter. Its expected release date was May 2014, but fast forward to November 2016 and backers are still waiting. Developer Gamesbymo has released an update announcing another delay. “I am unable to really…
Despite being two years behind schedule on their post-apocalypic RPG, After Reset, Black Cloud Studios isn’t shy about heading back to Kickstarter for seconds. They are currently seeking $55,492 for a new campaign, Daedalus. This has not gone over well with After Reset’s backers. After their…
Another day, another Kickstarter campaign being updated after a year of silence. This time around it’s Mechagami, a 2D arcade platformer by developer Joe Rheaume. It collected $5,338 in July 2014, with an expected release date of December that year. That didn’t happen, and now…
Is Eisenwald: Blood of November based on the upcoming election battle between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton? That’s the accusation raised in a few of the negative Steam reviews since its November 1st release. And while my initial reaction was to dismiss such bizarre comparisons,…
Since we published our article on the absence MegaTokyo, there have been two new updates on the Kickstarter page. If you recall, we talked with developer Fred Gallagher, and he hadn’t gone missing in action so much as he just stopped posting updates directly on…
Battalion 1944 feels somewhat quaint after the release of Battlefield 1, doesn’t it? It was supposed to be this big return to old school, multiplayer WWII shooters, then DICE makes an old school multiplayer game of their own, but set in WWI. Developer Bulkhead Interactive…
Exciting days are ahead of KING Art Games, as the studio behind The Dwarves just announced its latest project: Iron Harvest. Directly inspired by Jakub Różalski‘s breathtaking, mech-heavy rural WWI art, the game offers a real-time strategy experience similar to Company of Heroes and Men of War. In…
Extra! Extra! Skull-smashing beard-em-up The Dwarves is coming out next month! See yourself in a brand new, 22-minute-long composition of the game’s supportive backers! Putting my pitiful attempt at sounding like a paperboy from the 40s aside, I wanted to share that KING Art Games…
Sometimes a failed crowdfunding campaign can really help a developer progress. After seeing how their project is received by potential backers they can make adjustments and fix issues. By learning from their mistakes developers figure out what they can improve on. Eventually, if they return to crowdfunding, they will come…
I’m a huge fan of Myst clones. I have to check out any game that lists this series as an inspiration. However, with Odyssey there’s so much more than a first person adventure puzzler. While there are plenty of headscratching puzzles contained in the narrative,…
Finally we have a Kickstarter campaign that asks the real questions. Namely, have you ever wanted to date presidential candidates? The answer is of course, no, but that hasn’t stopped Robert Amster from making this cringe-inducing concept a reality. Grand Old Academy is a satirical…
