Warcraft II was the very first real-time strategy game I ever played and, even then, I pined for the ability to see the world of Azeroth through the eyes of its legendary heroes and heels. Imagine a game where you can not only view the…

I’ve been on a GLITCHED binge, even though it’s just a demo. I’m already a fan, absolutely rabid about the game. I haven’t figured out everything about it yet, but enough that, well, you’ll be seeing a few articles about it in the coming days. As I’m…
Back in 2012, several Sierra alumni took to Kickstarter for spiritual successors to get their franchises funded. Of those, Corey and Lori Cole’s Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption is still being worked on. After nearly four years in development, the end is still not in sight….
Neo-Victorian Skirmish Squad has an extensive past, one that’s richer than its present and likely its future. Its Kickstarter campaign began September 5, 2013, with Terncraft Games at the helm. The Kickstarter page tells us David Sushil is the man behind the company. But he’s…
Have you ever pondered upon the peculiarities of becoming a stray dog, having to steal food from unsuspecting humans? I know, that’s quite the specific question, but I’m sure you wouldn’t be surprised if I told you there’s a game focusing exactly on that concept….
The quality of crowdfunding demos on our YouTube channel is nothing if not inconsistent. Indivisible and Long Gone Days’s demos are practically finished products. Others like Deliver Us The Moon’s first demo just didn’t work. Unfortunately, for both myself and my colleague Joanna, we can…
Engaging with the community is an area that many Kickstarter creators overlook, but that’s certainly not the case with Synthetik. The futuristic, top-down shooter already looks promising with its crisp graphics and plenty of action. Yet it’s the enthusiastic attempts to attract backers that really…
At The Gates is another case of a developer leaving a big company to work on his own project with the help of Kickstarter. Jon Shafer, previously known as the lead behind Civilization V, created the campaign back in February of 2013. Sitting in the…
You ever noticed how everyone tries to get away with stuff by claiming its satire? These days, YouTubers are bashing people’s faces in with baseball bats and claiming it’s a “social experiment,” but the principle is the same. Enter Donald Trump, Ted Nugent’s bowl of…
It’s impressive to happen upon a crowdfunding campaign that skips all the ambiguity of, “will this game ever get finished” and jumps right into the good stuff. Well Bred Rhino’s Last Stitch Goodnight already looked like a solid title, but now it will get some extra…
Well, that didn’t take long, did it? Five months or so after the release of the Kickstarter Hyper Light Drifter, we get Ruin of the Reckless, a totally unrelated game. Totally unrelated in this case of course meaning almost exactly the same. Every aspect of…
We last wrote about The Hero Trap over a year ago. If you’ve forgotten, it was described by developer Smashworx as “a frenetic rogue like like where dungeon dwellers are hellbent on your destruction.” Sounds riveting, doesn’t it? Well, you’re going to have to find…
I barely knew about crowdfunding when Double Fine launched their Kickstarter for an adventure game in early 2012. Despite being a fan of Tim Schafer, I ended up missing out on it. After seeing the latest update for Broken Age, I find myself wishing that I took…
It was back in October 2014 that the Kickstarter campaign for Beyond Human was launched by developers Dominique Hendricks and David Morales Hernández. It showed much promise, before ultimately falling well short of its modest €20,000 ($22,600) target. However, Beyond Human will be coming back…
Very rarely does the average gamer get to see development first-hand. Thanks to crowdfunding, more and more developers are pulling back the curtain. Double Fine’s documentary on the making of Broken Age is the most extensive behind the scenes look at “how the sausage is…
After months of waiting I finally got time to try out the new System Shock demo. Sci-Fi action titles are right up my alley. Since I’d missed all the hype surrounding the original back in its heyday I figured now was as good time as…
