Face it, many of the games you have played are probably just first person shooters, right? Well Nevermind is definitely not like that at all. Actually, it is quite the opposite. It’s all about a trip into the mind and subconscious. Nevermind is a dark…
Art is always at the forefront of exploration games. After all, the majority of the experience is just the player running around looking at stuff. Nevermind is one such game, but its imagery goes way deeper than just looking around strange and disturbing environments. Indeed,…
Seldom do Kickstarter projects look this good at the pitch stage. Doko Roko has immediately captured my attention. Allow me to explain why it deserves yours. Well, for a start, just look at this game! It’s beautiful, it’s smooth, and it has great art direction…
Mage Tower, the digital tower defense card game from Super Mega Games, has a long history with Kickstarter. This is technically the fifth campaign, having been initially successful in a 2012 tabletop project, which was followed up by a successful expansion in 2013. Then Super…
Hello and welcome to our September issue of successful Kickstarter video game campaign analysis! As with every month, there was certainly a lot going on in both the closing campaigns and ones which launched during the time period. We’re here to take a look at…
Who is Erin Reynolds? If you have any interest in the games industry whatsoever, it’s a name worth knowing. The 32-year-old Colorado-born designer is a true woman of the world, having grown up within a wide range of cultural backgrounds. The journey of her life…
I don’t think I’m alone here when I say I saw my fair share of bullying as a kid, mostly on the receiving side. It’s not just that I was a gamer, but I was a sensitive, thoughtful geek. Oh, and I’m “not quite white.”…

I’ve always held a morbid fascination with riots. My interest is immediately peaked the second I hear about adrenaline-fueled clashes between large mobs of haggard protestors fighting for what they believe in (and the occasional opportunist who’s fighting for their right to snag a new TV)…
Remember the comedy horror adventure game The Miskatonic? Remember when we told you that a very early alpha build of the opening chapter was released to the public? Well, I finally took the time to sit down and give it a once through. What I…

I’ve been a fan of JRPGs since the early days and Battle Chasers: Nightwar looks to bring the experience to a new generation. It looks like it has all the charm and addictive gameplay as its forebears with unique features that set it out from…
[dropcap size=big]I[/dropcap]t was bound to happen eventually. I could see the writing on the wall and it said BEWARE. Or something. I’m not very good at dramatic openings. I’ve seen plenty of people threaten to sue a project creator for going dark, taking the money…
