I am very impressed by the developers of Crossing Souls and their Kickstarter. You may remember that we covered this game back in 2014 when it was still looking for funding. What a time it has been since then! The latest update shows that this…
If you’re a regular Kickstarter user, you might have forgotten that sports video games are a thing. You know, those athletic events that usually involve balls and sticks? Big, sweaty, burly men and women smashing into each other and pretending like it’s not homo-erotic? Those…
Indiegogo might seem an unconventional choice for a crowdfunded video game given the ubiquitous presence of Kickstarter in this field, but given the eccentric vibe of Don’t Kill Her it actually seems completely appropriate. The 90 second video from developer Jérémy Wuthrer shows an 2D…
In four years and three hundred projects I’ve pretty much seen all that there is in regards to how crowdfunding works and doesn’t work. I’ve also seen a lot of questions asked over and over again as to how some aspect of Kickstarter is handled….
One of the things they tell you when you launch a Kickstarter is to ask for the absolute minimum amount needed. Being someone who launched two Kickstarters (and failed to get funding for both) I used to receive a lot of advice that I found…
After a brief period of inactivity, it appears that the Mermaids vs Zombies campaign is showing signs of life. For those who may not know, MvsZ is a visual novel/RPG hybrid that’s currently in development by Adam Snowflake and Braincake Productions. Until recently, the majority…
It’s been a few months since Whale Hammer Games released a Kickstarter update for its upcoming turn-based RPG Tahira: Echoes of the Astral Empire—something they’ve made a note of and duly rectified with its May 3rd post. In their previous update, they discussed the completion…
Archetypes Studios is hard at work on new free-to-play FPS, titled Midair, which draws many parallels to the sci-fi shooter franchise Tribes. That isn’t something I’m complaining about—Tribes held a candle to the top F2P FPS shooters back in the day—and developer Hi-Rez still releases…
Recently, I came forth as a once excited virtual reality evangelist who pre-ordered the Oculus Rift CV1 in the first seven minutes of Oculus launching its order page. Despite the original promise of shipment at the end of March, this did not come to pass….
Darewise Entertainment has recruited game industry vets who have worked on AAA titles like Assassin’s Creed and Age of Conan to create ROKH, an MMO survival game set on Mars. Darewise Entertainment launched ROKH’s Kickstarter campaign only a few days ago, and so far they’ve…
Dropcore has returned to Kickstarter for a second shot at getting funding for their RTS/RPG hybrid. When it first appeared in July 2015 and ran its 30 day funding period it only raised $1. The original Kickstarter was rather bare and short with no pictures…
Biosupremacy is a Kickstarter game I really want to love, but its Kickstarter page just doesn’t make in shine. Reading through the Kickstarter there is information about the story (which is great) and samples of music (which are great) and animation (which are really great),…
Even when it comes to adventure games there are some that I just have a hard time getting behind. And one of them was The 7th Guest and its sequel The 11th Hour. Not because of the story, though, as I really liked the weird…
Niten, the Japanese island walking sim created by Donald Macdonald, was unsuccessfully funded on Kickstarter. It managed to raise roughly £6,015 of its goal of £15,000. I had a chance to cover Niten and correspond with Donald over the course of the last few weeks,…
Steve Grand, the developer for Grandroids, has recently added an Update to his Kickstarter page. Before this, the page hadn’t seen an update since April 2014, but that doesn’t mean that development has ground to a halt by any stretch of the imagination. In this new…
One of the things that I love talking about in my articles is not just a specific game itself but also the people behind these interesting titles. It’s quite possible that few people outside of the adventure game community would have heard of the name…
