It’s been a while since I’ve seen a browser-based game on Kickstarter, but Tattered Weave caught my eye. Technically speaking it is a Browser-Based Virtual Community rather than a full on game, but it all falls under the same jurisdiction in my brain. What caught…
There have been a number of games that sound great on paper but that I’ve ended up having to pass on for a number of reasons. In the case of Negotiator VR there are a number of factors that have me keeping my wallet closed….
In what is either the most witty satire ever or a clear cry for help, game developer, Repvblic is creating a brand new incremental game, all about peeing into a toilet. Labeled as the “ultimate first-person shooter,” on its Kickstarter, Urine It to Win It! is…
Once upon a time I spent a lot of my free time over in various forums. Of those, the one that I’ve spent the most time being active on was the Pinkerton Road board. I backed the Pinkerton Road Kickstarter back when it ran in…
Pirates of the Polygon Sea is an upcoming action adventure game being developed by Praxia Entertainment where you can realize your dream of being a nasty, swashbuckling pirate as you trade with, loot, and plunder other ships around you. As the title suggests, it’s got…
In a recent update, the developers of Mighty No. 9 announced that the game was set to be released on the 21st of June 2016. However, this news was met with much anger and distaste from backers and the reason why is a long story….
In my previous coverage of sci-fi sandbox Avorion, I praised the endless spaceship and weapon customization options, while also criticizing the lack of story and quest disclosure on the Kickstarter page. Since then, I’ve reached out to Avorion’s main developer, Konstantin Kronfeldner, to address some…
It’s been a while since we last heard from Rapscallion Games regarding development of their Lovecraftian “adventure visual novel” The Miskatonic. However, we have just been graced with another update showcasing some new artwork and discussion regarding some delays. It sounds like alpha and beta…
3D mascot platformers, retroactively re-named “collect-a-thons” as of late, are a lot like Invader Zim. All the kids were doing it, the internet was abuzz with talk of the latest installments, until one day all that was taken away from us. Video game publishers decided…
Visual novels tend to be little more than a glorified “choose your own adventure” story, but sometimes one comes along that tries its best to break the mold. In the case of Max’s Big Bust it certainly works hard to blur the line between visual…
With the launch of The Wild Eight’s pre-alpha demo last week week, we reached out to developer 8pts to address some of the complaints and inquiries that have been previously brought up about the game on Cliqist. As of May 5th, 8pts has fully funded the…
After recently covering Spellbook’s upcoming RPG, Heroes of Dire, lead developer Ozymandias reached out to me to address some of the concerns I had voiced in my article. Before I first started digging into the ambitious project, my editor, Greg Micek had a few choice…
I’ve played rhythm games (Guitar Hero, karaoke in Sleeping Dogs), and hack n’ slash games (Diablo, Devil May Cry), but never a rhythm hack n’ slash game. Well, that is, not until I got my hands on GODHOOD’s demo. The game is a “short” rhythm…
“We are all “The Hero” in our own stories.” This little nugget of wisdom was the go-to phrase of one of my good friends whenever I’d start beating myself up. Typically in the world of video games, the player is assigned the playable protagonist who…
It’s never fun to see a project that you’ve backed not make it, but I have to admit that my successful-to-unsuccessful ratio has gotten worse over the past few months. Of course, some of that has to do with purposefully backing projects that have no chance…
