It’s never a good sign when the most recent update on a Kickstarter page is titled something along the lines of “Still Alive!” but dated nearly a year ago. Such is the case for the space exploration game Limit Theory, an ambitious multi-genre hybrid that…

Though I enjoy playing adventure games of all types, I’m usually one to shy away from sensitive subjects. Despite this, when I saw A Song for Viggo run on Kickstarter I just had to back it. The subject matter didn’t really appeal to me, but…
I’ve recently covered adventure games and how they fare on Kickstarter, but what about those that finally get released? I want to take a look at these projects and how they have done since release. There have been a number of crowdfunded games that have gone…
Over the course of the last few months, I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing dozens of talented guys and gals with a vivid passion for the art of video game creation. Some of these game developers did not only share a common interest in all…
Next month marks two years since Horse Volume’s The Sun Also Rises met its Kickstarter goal. Collecting $16,443, The Sun sold itself on a multiplayer narrative about America’s global war on terror. It’s the kind of game you would expect from an indie project: big…
Dustin Hyden was an ad man. An ad man not in the age of Don Drapers and other tobacco moguls, with their slick-backed hairstyles and tailor-made suits, but an ad man in the digital age. Only but a year ago, he was just another business…
River City Ransom Underground is ready… almost. It’s now content complete which means the end is at least in sight with just balancing, bug fixing and optimisation to go. [embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHWDEs434hA[/embedyt] The scrolling beat ’em up is the officially licensed sequel to one of the…
Last week, my colleague and prom fan on anime night Serena Nelson wrote an article detailing the success and failure rate of point and click adventure games on Kickstarter. She’s a big fan of the genre, and seeing her break down the genre in terms…
Mighty No. 9 is known for many things – none of which are good. The past two years of delay announcements made it seem like the game might never even come to fruition. However, for better or for worse, it finally launched last month to tremendous…
If Mighty No. 9 has done any good, it’s kicked (for lack of a better phrase) Kickstarter developers with long overdue games into gear. More and more developers are referencing the ill-fated game, promising not to fail into the same trap, or worse. Who knows…
It’s starting to become a regular thing to see AJ Tilley in some form running a campaign on Kickstarter under some name or another. I’m not even sure how many accounts he and Dharker Studio have used over the past few years, but it certainly…
Sometimes the tiniest nibble is enough for you to want the whole damn pie; “short but sweet” is how I chose to describe the demo of Kickstarter project Zed to Chuck Carter. Chuck is the founder and president of Eagre Games, the crew behind Zed,…
Kingdom Come: Deliverance has received a fair bit of coverage here at Cliqist with 10 articles dedicated to the first-person, ‘dungeons without dragons’ RPG since it debuted on Kickstarter in January 2014. However seeing as our last look at Warhorse’s ambitious medieval-sim was almost a year…
Despite being one of the biggest adventure game fans I know I will admit that there have been a number of classics that have escaped my gaze until recently. And among that list was The Longest Journey and Dreamfall. I had known about the first…
Best Buds vs Bad Guys is a bit of heartwarming Kickstarter. The creators behind the game are a father-son team who want to prove that being on the autistic spectrum won’t hold them back from their dreams. Their current game is a run and gun…
You’ll remember that previously this action adventure game caught my eye. Broc Copeland is certainly one of the more committed Kickstarter developers I’ve come across. It is very clear to me that he wants Guardians of the Rose to succeed and is willing to chase that success….
