The last update on the Dashkin Kickstarter was all the way back in January 2013, but is this Kickstarter dead? Well, yes and no. We can be rather certain that the near $30K raised to make the endless runner will not bring us the game…
Welcome, one and all, to the debut episode of our latest series: Kicked! It’s totally not just Crowdfunding Analysis Time with a new name. It’s got a new logo, plastered in the bottom right corner of the whole video that I’m really regretting now, actually….
HMS Marulken is a cooperative simulation game where players operate an alternate history Swedish submarine. If the name rings a bell, you might be familiar with the first unsuccessful campaign for HMS Marulken from last October. While the first attempt to fund the game was…
There Came an Echo was (and still is) a unique game, even by our wonderful crowdfunding indie game standards. On its surface, it looks like a fairly standard tactical RPG, possibly even an XCOMM rip-off. But what makes it stand out above others is that…
As Chronicles of Elyria enters its home stretch and Cliqist braces itself for the game’s potential late surge in funding, now is a good time to take a look at what stretch goals developer Soulbound Studios have to offer. Soulbound Studios has made it clear…
We’ve covered Sekai Project and its various crowdfunded campaigns before, and they still keep coming back for more. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but they do have a lot of games still in the works. In any event, they just launched another translation project,…
As I’ve mentioned previously, Kickstarter gives any studio the chance to get their game successfully funded. Coupled with a strong social media presence and excellent rewards, the only thing that can stop a strong campaign dead in its tracks is the developer, which leads me…
Every so often here at Cliqist, we like to produce some Top 10 articles and videos. I’d make a joke about how we do it because they’re popular, but seeing as how I do that in every accompanying article I write for these videos, people…
Guardians of the Rose captured my interest, mainly because I really liked the tune on its Kickstarter video. Something about that old Game Boy music just makes me smile, and Guardian of the Rose definitely plays with my nostalgia. I watched the trailer and was…
I’m no stranger to Web-based online games, but most of the time the ones that I’ve played tend to be rather limited in their gameplay functionality. Of course, that’s never stopped me from enjoying a few in the past. The newest browser game to potentially…
MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria’s Kickstarter campaign is about to enter its home stretch and with that surfaces the potential of a late surge in funding. It’s currently sitting at $1,114,822 of its original $900,000 goal, inching it closer and closer to its second stretch goal…
When it comes to “slice of life” visual novels, I tend to gravitate more towards those with queer themes. Which is one reason why I didn’t hesitate to back Caramel Mokaccino, as they promise some yuri routes in this otome visual novel. That said, I…
In a recent episode of our award-winning* Crowdfunding Analysis Time series, we took a look at a seemingly forgotten 3D platformer called Lobodestroyo. Raising $43,832 by the end of the campaign in 2013, James Guy and his team at Left-Handed Games set to work on…
One of the most frequently asked questions that backers have in regards to Kickstarter is just how “add-ons” work. Now, while this is hardly a recent phenomenon in crowdfunding, it is also one of the most confusing aspects of reward fulfillment. It’s gone by different…
It has come to my attention that the Cyberpunk visual novel Echo Tokyo will be returning to Kickstarter yet again soon. I’ve honestly lost track of exactly how many campaigns there have been for this particular title, but I know that this will be at…
