Hey, do you remember The Fall? That creepy action-adventure game that came out last year? Well, you should, considering it was popular enough to make it to PS4, Xbox One, and Wii U as well as its initial Steam audience. The Fall was funded on Kickstarter…
Zombies are so widespread these days that you can’t swing a crowbar without hitting one, and while Necromancer is most certainly unique in its premise it still has you dealing with hordes of undead shambling minions. Which, while a popular genre it’s one that’s way…
You may have noticed that we’ve been talking about Flying Mollusk’s psychological horror game Nevermind quite a bit this month. Given that it’s our Crowdfunded Game of the Month for October it makes sense. However, in addition to such an illustrious honor Nevermind is worth…
Viva la revolucion! Most adventure games take you on a quest of some importance. Whether it’s to save the kingdom or just to find a nice place to nap most tend to be on the epic side of epicness. And Viktor looks to take this…
Dieselstörmers is no more – not its title, anyway, as developer Black Forest Games has lost a legal battle with fashion label Diesel, as announced on the project’s Kickstarter page (and further detailed in a developer blog post). Wonder what they’re going to call the…
Here’s an interesting one. Back in December 2012, Kickstarter project Forsaken Fortress reached its funding goal, with 3,535 backers pledging $121,096 towards the development of the game. Forsaken Fortress was pitched as a 3D isometric RPG with a post-apocalyptic aesthetic. It’s not hard to understand…
In the Fall of last year biofeedback horror game Nevermind was successfully crowdfunded, and since that exciting day Flying Mollusk has been toiling away to bring this trauma simulating-and-coping horror title to life. Well, it looks like it’ll be mission accomplished later this month. Nevermind…
Following a long period of ominous silence, Kickstarter backers of Rocket Ranger Reloaded have got the news that many were expecting – the project was in trouble. A refreshingly honest backer-only update from developer Cinemaware confirmed that roughly $30,000 of pledges had not been collected…
It’s been a little while since the Kickstarter campaign for Kôna ended with $44,271 CAD raised to fund the immersive survival adventure title. Since September of last year, the small team has been working hard to bring the game to scale, adding new team members and fleshing out…
This week marks the 2 year anniversary of Cliqist officially launching. In that time we’ve published over 2,400 articles worth of videogame crowdfunding coverage. That number pales in comparison to other sites, but it’s something I’m very proud of; especially when you consider that in…
[dropcap size=big]T[/dropcap]hose with an encyclopedic memory of Kickstarter campaigns will recall that almost exactly one year ago, Storm Isle Productions attempted to raise $50,000 for Disciples of the Storm. This RTS presented itself well enough to gain nearly half the goal amount — but of…
One of our most curiously popular search results last year was “horse sex.” In fact, there was a period of time during which we were in the top five Google search results for the term. I haven’t gone back to check for a while, but…
[dropcap size=big]B[/dropcap]ack in 2003, Amplitude launched as a sequel to the already-popular Frequency rhythm game. Although Harmonix already had a fan following, it continued to grow in this era before they hit paydirt with Guitar Hero (and later, Rock Band). Their Kickstarter campaign for a…
[dropcap size=big]T[/dropcap]he story of One Final Breath by Dark Day Interactive is a surprisingly long one. You may have just heard of it thanks to a Kickstarter campaign running right now, or if you’re like me, you may have remembered seeing this game seek funding…
If you’ve never played the Wing Commander series and are a fan of space flight/dogfight sims then you have seriously missed out on some great games. The series may not be around anymore, but you can totally still grab them on GOG, at least. Last year,…
