In four years and three hundred projects I’ve pretty much seen all that there is in regards to how crowdfunding works and doesn’t work. I’ve also seen a lot of questions asked over and over again as to how some aspect of Kickstarter is handled….
After a brief period of inactivity, it appears that the Mermaids vs Zombies campaign is showing signs of life. For those who may not know, MvsZ is a visual novel/RPG hybrid that’s currently in development by Adam Snowflake and Braincake Productions. Until recently, the majority…
Recently, I came forth as a once excited virtual reality evangelist who pre-ordered the Oculus Rift CV1 in the first seven minutes of Oculus launching its order page. Despite the original promise of shipment at the end of March, this did not come to pass….
Darewise Entertainment has recruited game industry vets who have worked on AAA titles like Assassin’s Creed and Age of Conan to create ROKH, an MMO survival game set on Mars. Darewise Entertainment launched ROKH’s Kickstarter campaign only a few days ago, and so far they’ve…
Dropcore has returned to Kickstarter for a second shot at getting funding for their RTS/RPG hybrid. When it first appeared in July 2015 and ran its 30 day funding period it only raised $1. The original Kickstarter was rather bare and short with no pictures…
Even when it comes to adventure games there are some that I just have a hard time getting behind. And one of them was The 7th Guest and its sequel The 11th Hour. Not because of the story, though, as I really liked the weird…
Once upon a time I spent a lot of my free time over in various forums. Of those, the one that I’ve spent the most time being active on was the Pinkerton Road board. I backed the Pinkerton Road Kickstarter back when it ran in…

In a recent update, the developers of Mighty No. 9 announced that the game was set to be released on the 21st of June 2016. However, this news was met with much anger and distaste from backers and the reason why is a long story….
It’s been a while since we last heard from Rapscallion Games regarding development of their Lovecraftian “adventure visual novel” The Miskatonic. However, we have just been graced with another update showcasing some new artwork and discussion regarding some delays. It sounds like alpha and beta…
3D mascot platformers, retroactively re-named “collect-a-thons” as of late, are a lot like Invader Zim. All the kids were doing it, the internet was abuzz with talk of the latest installments, until one day all that was taken away from us. Video game publishers decided…
Visual novels tend to be little more than a glorified “choose your own adventure” story, but sometimes one comes along that tries its best to break the mold. In the case of Max’s Big Bust it certainly works hard to blur the line between visual…
After recently covering Spellbook’s upcoming RPG, Heroes of Dire, lead developer Ozymandias reached out to me to address some of the concerns I had voiced in my article. Before I first started digging into the ambitious project, my editor, Greg Micek had a few choice…
I’ve played rhythm games (Guitar Hero, karaoke in Sleeping Dogs), and hack n’ slash games (Diablo, Devil May Cry), but never a rhythm hack n’ slash game. Well, that is, not until I got my hands on GODHOOD’s demo. The game is a “short” rhythm…
