Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake is a cute, kiddy puzzle game centered on a boy on his birthday. Appropriately enough, the title is a lie. Monsters didn’t eat his birthday cake so much as they stole slices of it and hid those slices all over…
For backers who fell into the $64 or higher tier on the Hyper Light Drifter campaign, this is a red letter day for you. According to the most recent update, developer Heart Machine has recently announced that the accompanying manual and SNES style box have…
I’ve been known on several occasions to back a Kickstarter project purely on nostalgia, and in the case of Cyan’s latest opus Obduction, this is certainly no exception. We’ve covered development before, but haven’t really delved that deep into the years-long cycle. With the latest…
Istanbul based Cultic Games just launched a Kickstarter campaign for Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones, their take on the beloved Lovecraftian genre. While many games draw inspiration from the Cthulhu Mythos, rarely has one looked as tragically beautiful as Stygian. Touted as a game of “horror, loss, and madness,” Stygian…
After releasing an ill-advised trailer last week for Mighty No. 9, developer Comcept and publisher Deep Silver have released another trailer for the game. This one claims to be more honest and open with its intention and act as a sort of apology for the…
Lately, it seems that Kickstarter has become host to multiple campaigns focused on coffee table books filled with the images and history of systems past. After its first failed Kickstarter, retro-PC champ Giacomo Vernoni has roared back with another campaign for his Commodore VIC 20…
A shopkeeper by day, a monster slayer by night – I really like the sound of that. It kind of seems like the perfect amalgamation between Recettear and Monster Hunter, and it just so happens to best describe Digital Sun Games’ Moonlighter. You’ve probably already heard about…
The Kickstarter Primer video series aims to give those new to crowdfunding a look at what to know when backing your first campaign, we also want to give potential first-time campaign runners a glimpse into what makes a project successful or not. In this installment…
Imagine finding a lost phone. For some reason, it doesn’t have an elaborate locking pattern/weird security contraption on it. Instead, there’s a whole bunch of personal messages and images laid out, waiting to be glanced upon by total strangers. What do you do? Chances are, if you’re like…
You may remember I spoke about Tower of Samsara before its Kickstarter was released. My general verdict was that it looked pretty, but I was fairly unsure how popular it would be. To me the game sounded a little preachy, even though it was covering…
I’m probably going to get lynched for saying this, but I have never played a Fable game. Sure, I know what it is and I’ve been meaning to check it out, but it’s not high on my list. Now, before you go grabbing your torches…
There’s a lot of half-baked ideas on Kickstarter. Sometimes it’s evident that someone has no idea how to run a campaign, but sometimes something truly baffling emerges. Call Of Honor: Tactical Warfare (Scope) is one of these games. It seems a little too sincere to…
Visual novels have been a passion of mine almost as long as I’ve been into anime, and I’ve enjoyed plenty of both Eastern and Western style stories. That is why I decided to give Corona Blossom a closer look when I noticed that it launched…
The last update on the Dashkin Kickstarter was all the way back in January 2013, but is this Kickstarter dead? Well, yes and no. We can be rather certain that the near $30K raised to make the endless runner will not bring us the game…
Welcome, one and all, to the debut episode of our latest series: Kicked! It’s totally not just Crowdfunding Analysis Time with a new name. It’s got a new logo, plastered in the bottom right corner of the whole video that I’m really regretting now, actually….
HMS Marulken is a cooperative simulation game where players operate an alternate history Swedish submarine. If the name rings a bell, you might be familiar with the first unsuccessful campaign for HMS Marulken from last October. While the first attempt to fund the game was…
