It’s not unheard of to see game developers start out with one engine and decide to move to a different one. It’s actually pretty common with crowdfunded games. Dreadlocks has recently announced to backers that their paranormal adventure Ghost Theory is being moved from Unity to…
There are bad pitches, there are lazy pitches, and there are pitches that you have to stay away from. I can forgive some transgressions, but when a project like King’s Gate comes along it throws up so many red flags it needs to be talked…
I’ll be one of the first to admit that I like a little bit of “toilet humor” in my games. It was one of the things that attracted me to the comedy of point and click adventure Demetrios. I will also admit I found the fart…
It’s good to see 3D platformers suddenly taking off on Kickstarter. Alongside Griff: The Winged Lion, we now have Kewpie-Jazzy competing for your hard earned cash. I’m not going to say my article on crowdfunded 3D platformers brought about this influx, but feel free to…
Our weekly dose of hot takes, occasionally well formed opinions, and fevered outbursts is back. Yup, it’s time for the Question of the Week! This week our question is all about what developers should do when their Kickstarter campaign hits the fan. We’re not referring to a failed campaign…

Backers of 2D tactical squadron shooter, FleetCOMM are (to put it mildly) beyond frustrated. They’ve been notified of another setback, 4 years after raising $17,427 for FleetCOMM’s development. In truth, backers appear to have lost faith in the project, and have been attempting to get refunds for months. After several months…
There’s something really unsettling about flying whales. Perhaps I first realized this while refusing to acknowledge their grim existence in Dishonored. Then there was Aik, which somehow managed to incorporate the floating sea beasts into its black and white ecosystem. Luckily, a fresh Kickstarter game called Blubber Busters shines a more colourful light on the sea…
After almost a year of silence, the Destiny Fails Us Kickstarter page has finally received an update. The developers, now called Strawberry Dagger Studio, announced that they are splitting the game into three games, with the first set to release this year. The team decided…
The list of Earthbound inspired games is growing, with En House Studios continuing the trend with fourth wall breaking, existentially themed GLITCHED. In GLITCHED, the player, assisted by a fictional game company, tries to enjoy a game about a modern day boy leaving home for the…
While I’ve never been much into mecha myself, I recognize that a huge part of the population love their massive fighting robots. Judging by the campaign for their new 2D platform shooter, the developers at Rocket Punch may be the biggest mecha fans of all….
Have you ever wanted to date a dragon? No…? What if the dragon was basically just an anime girl with dragon wings and the ability to vomit rainbows? Now we’re talking, right? In that case, Dragon Date (now on Kickstarter) has you covered, buddy. Dragon…
Cooperative puzzle games can be fun, assuming you have someone clever to play with. Luckily, a new puzzle-platformer offers co-op, but lets you go it alone if you feel up to the task. The Rabbit and The Owl is a negative space puzzle game on…
