I was pleasantly surprised when I read through Taylor Bair’s reply after having previously reached out to him for a few comments on the upcoming SRPG Arcadian Atlas. He explained to me in very blunt terms that he was sick of spitting out the same monotonous…
Despite delivering exactly what was promised in the Kickstarter, Bear Simulator Developer, Farjay Studios, managed to get a scathing review from Youtube icon PewDiePie. Perhaps expecting the title to be more satirical and outlandish like Goat Simulator, Mr. Pie was extremely unimpressed with the ability to explore…
As I’m sure you’ve noticed we’ve gone through some pretty dramatic changes around here. The most obvious change is the new theme, which is much different than what we had before; maybe even jarringly so. However, the new look allows us to focus on what’s important: getting some…
I like first person adventure games. Maybe not as much as traditional point-and-click, but with a good story I’ll still play it. In the case of Stardrop, the basic premise sounds good but from the pitch itself it doesn’t tell me much. Unless you play…
Almost four years ago adventure game fans were treated to a unique looking game as it launched on Kickstarter in mid 2012. Jack Houston and the Necronauts is a stop motion capture game in the same vein as classic movies like Jason and the Argonauts…
Slug Disco Studios has been anything but antsy in their wait to bring Empires of the Undergrowth back to Kickstarter. Their first campaign launched in November 2015, but failed to meet its £15,000 goal by nearly half. Now Slug Disco is back on Kickstarter with…
How are you supposed to back a game if you don’t even know it exists in the first place? I’ve covered tons of Kickstarter campaigns in the last couple of weeks, and I only managed to catch wind of Perpetual Night in the last week…
In September 2012, Studio Nasu managed to raise $33,643 USD through Kickstarter for their game Crisis Heart Brawlers: Clash at Otakon. It was billed as a “classic arcade style side scrolling beat ‘em up” in the style of other fighters like Castle Crashers and the…
Little over a week ago, the survival horror game Phantasmal went live on Steam. Creator Joe Chang describes it as a horror game where no two play-throughs are the same, where every level is randomized and you can never fully rely on your previous experiences to…
Gibbous’ Kickstarter campaign is coming to a close in roughly a week, and it definitely looks on pace to meet its Fr 39,270 goal, especially if there’s the usual surge in funding in the home stretch of the campaign. Developed by a team from Transylvania,…
Normally, when an awesome and innovative game launches its Kickstarter, it’s flooded with initial backers excited to play it. However, Nebula’s Kickstarter page has been oddly quiet despite extremely promising pre-alpha footage. For retro nerds like myself, nothing’s better than seeing what looks like an…
Cartoonish violence displayed in a humorous vein has been a mainstay of vigilantism since Tom & Jerry began regularly garotting each other on screen. More recent animated series like Family Guy and South Park have picked up the torch and regularly showcase violent situations humorously….
Just when you thought you heard the last of serial Kickstarter AJ Tilley he rears his head again, albeit briefly, to give some of the most insane news that I’ve heard in the past four years. In a recent backer-only update he announced that AJTilley.com…
What were to happen if you mixed Papers, Please, This War of Mine and Fallout Shelter? You’d probably get a random pile of broken code and ill-fitting assets. But if someone were to take ideas and inspiration from those games, they might end up with…
The Post-Apocalyptic RPG Krai Mira recently appeared on Kickstarter. This game has been in development for quite a while and it has the development logs to prove it. Krai Mira or Crimea, is heavily inspired by the Fallout series (especially the first and second games)…
I don’t know much about the Fear Effect series. I’m part of that new generation of gamers that original Fear Effect director John Zuur Platten is referring to in the Kickstarter trailer; or at the very least, I’m part of the crowd that for some…
