Trackless hasn’t wasted any time on Fig. Only a day after launch, the game already raised half of its $20,000 goal with 27 days left. We wrote about Trackless a few weeks ago without much of an idea of what the game would be, other than…

Say what you will about walking simulators, but they’re still a popular genre of gaming. I’ve enjoyed a few myself, even if the narratives can be lacking at times. However, not all titles just have you wander aimlessly looking at pretty visuals. Some can be pretty…
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 we’re talking about the big week neophyte crowdfunding platform Fig is having. The launch of multiple campaigns, including Wasteland 3, and, more importantly…
‘No dead weight, just pure bosses!’ That ably sums up Dead from indie developer Milo Games. This top-down shooter skips the waiting and goes straight for the end-game with ten deadly bosses to defeat. Boss battle games certainly seem to be in vogue at the…
Developer, inXile, delivered the massively successful Wasteland 2 under the direction of Brian Fargo, and now Wasteland 3 is on the way. Set to release on PC, Mac, PS4, Xbox One, and quite refreshingly Linux (for those of us like yours truly running Ubuntu). The crowdfunding campaign just launched…
Get ready to fight against the rising tides and raging storms. Popcannibal’s Fig campaign is already 76% of the way towards their $50,000 funding goal with no hint of slowing. Make Sail combines exploration, construction, and physics into a high seas adventure. Beginning in the…
A fair warning, a lot of law stuff is about to be spat out. If you have an aversion to that sort of thing, you might just want the highlights. That would be that the SEC (the US Securities and Exchange Commission) has ruled Fig…
I always find it a bit sad whenever I see a project that I back not make funding by the time the clock ticks down to zero. In the case of Nadia Was Here they managed to get just under halfway to their goal before…
Less than a week ago, the third run of Boss Fight Books on Kickstarter came to a resounding end. The campaign raised over $36,000, unlocking multiple stretch goals such as author interviews and a free copy of Unwinnable Monthly in the process. Boss Fight Books…
Fig, the investment-driven crowdfunding platform we’ve talked about plenty in the past, is known to be supported by a pretty hefty amount of big industry names. Although it remains to be seen whether it’ll be successful in terms of its games’ post-launch realization, it looks like…
When Boss Fight Books first braved the Kickstarter landscape, I was immensely intrigued. As a fan of gaming books, I was curious to see how they would turn out. The first one I read, ZZT by Anna Anthropy, knocked it out of the park. Subsequent…
Gunkatana has the most adrenalin-rush-inducing trailer I have ever come across on Kickstarter. It’s a super fast slice and dice game where you have to fight to survive in a futuristic dystopian cyberpunk world. The future is bleak and the only way to survive is…
Fig’s latest update is an example of something I call ‘being economical with the truth’. To be clear, I hadn’t heard much about Fig until fairly recently, but it made my spider senses tingle. Fig is a relatively new crowdfunding website that markets itself as…
I’m a sucker for stories where one or more people are destined to walk along one road or another and they have the option to give in and honor the wills of the powers that be or to make the decision to march to their…
When Fig launched, the founders had a fairly specific plan in mind. They felt that the biggest problems with Kickstarter and Indiegogo were a lack of curation and too much competition, so they ensured Fig would only focus on one game (backed by their entire board)…
Somehow I don’t think this is what Fig was originally intended for. Fresh(ish) off the heels of the massively successful Psychonauts 2 campaign, Fig was enjoying a boost in both popularity and credibility. What better way to follow that up than with a PC port…
