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…
There Came an Echo was (and still is) a unique game, even by our wonderful crowdfunding indie game standards. On its surface, it looks like a fairly standard tactical RPG, possibly even an XCOMM rip-off. But what makes it stand out above others is that…
As Chronicles of Elyria enters its home stretch and Cliqist braces itself for the game’s potential late surge in funding, now is a good time to take a look at what stretch goals developer Soulbound Studios have to offer. Soulbound Studios has made it clear…
We’ve covered Sekai Project and its various crowdfunded campaigns before, and they still keep coming back for more. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but they do have a lot of games still in the works. In any event, they just launched another translation project,…
As I’ve mentioned previously, Kickstarter gives any studio the chance to get their game successfully funded. Coupled with a strong social media presence and excellent rewards, the only thing that can stop a strong campaign dead in its tracks is the developer, which leads me…
The first tavern management RPG has just launched it’s funding campaign on Kickstarter, and backer support has been swift. It has even been given the coveted “Project We Love” designation. Epic Tavern, by Hyperkinetic, is already well on it’s way to reaching its $40,000 funding…
When it comes to crowdfunding, I tend to gravitate more towards single person or small group campaigns. After all, that’s what I feel Kickstarter was made for. But the pitch and reasoning behind seeking funds from fans needs to be evident. In the case of…

Guardians of the Rose captured my interest, mainly because I really liked the tune on its Kickstarter video. Something about that old Game Boy music just makes me smile, and Guardian of the Rose definitely plays with my nostalgia. I watched the trailer and was…
A large number of gamers, well, people in general, have an overwhelming fascination with dinosaurs. Myths of the ferocious T-Rex and clunky Triceratops populate everything from children’s books to the silver screen and have also made a solid imprint in the game industry. We saw…
I’m no stranger to Web-based online games, but most of the time the ones that I’ve played tend to be rather limited in their gameplay functionality. Of course, that’s never stopped me from enjoying a few in the past. The newest browser game to potentially…

When it comes to “slice of life” visual novels, I tend to gravitate more towards those with queer themes. Which is one reason why I didn’t hesitate to back Caramel Mokaccino, as they promise some yuri routes in this otome visual novel. That said, I…
It’s hard to believe a game with as much potential as Mighty No. 9 can garnish so much scorn. A common problem for indie games is inexperience, due to new developers. Mighty No. 9, with its boasts of the leadership of Keiji Inafune and the…
In a recent episode of our award-winning* Crowdfunding Analysis Time series, we took a look at a seemingly forgotten 3D platformer called Lobodestroyo. Raising $43,832 by the end of the campaign in 2013, James Guy and his team at Left-Handed Games set to work on…
