Despite my love and enthusiasm of a project I will have to admit that a long period of silence between updates does leave me with less than pure optimism. Even one that has me as excited as Zeebarf’s The Ballads of Reemus 2, which was…
The three day streaming event for the card game and strategy game hybrid Labyrinth has come and gone and while I didn’t stream it I was given a key nonetheless. And with Free Range Games’ blessing I wanted to show off what has been done with the game…
Adventure games are my life. I grew up with them and I still can’t get enough of new titles as they come out. Of course, back in 2012 I came across a number of great crowdfunded campaigns in this genre, including a Quest for Glory…
Kim is an unusual game for a number of reasons. Its classic looking cel-shaded graphics, unique setting, and Rudyard Kipling inspiration make for a type of project you don’t see every day on Kickstarter, but one that is perfect for the platform. With two weeks left in the…
Can you believe it? 2015 is over, and with it, I have managed to gather data on Kickstarter video game campaigns for almost the entirety of the year. If you’ve been reading these analyses posts since the very start, then you’ll know that for whatever…
On My Own has a new update, announcing the release date for the game. After a year in development, backers won’t have to wait too much longer to play the wilderness survival adventure. The new launch trailer was also included in the release announcement update…
A Kickstarter for a Psychological Horror game called Visage caught my eye today. It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of horror games, however, I recently fell out of love with them. These days horror games have become rather action packed and while that’s not…
We reported on the suspiciously named Amplitude: A Visual Novel last week, and that it had a public demo available. Today I had a chance to play it, and came away pretty impressed. You can watch the video for yourself above, or if you hate…
You might have seen the drama over Twitter last week. Need a refresher? Here’s what happened: a tweet was posted from the account of prominent industry figure, Peter Molyneux, announcing not only the cancellation of his latest, crowdfunded endeavour, Godus, but the developer’s retirement from…
Yandere Simulator is easily classified as one of the more ambitious crowdfunded projects I’ve come across in some time. Raising nearly $4,800 dollars per month, its sole developer goes by the moniker of YandereDev and works on it full time. That’s 24/7/365. YandereDev describes his project…
It’s rare to see a game focus on repetition in the story. Sure, there’s a lot of genres out there that use things like grinding and such to inflate play time but we don’t see a “return to the beginning” concept very much outside of…
In the latest update for Planet Nomads Craneballs announced a special competition where they’re asking people to get creative and fire up the editor and to use it to build a base worthy of hunkering down in and keeping the native wildlife out of your…
Sebastian Frank is a point and click adventure game set between the turn of the 20th century, and the start of World War II. You play Sebastian Frank, painter, artist, gentlemen. Oh, and he’s Hitler’s best friend and is on a quest to stop his…
Mid last year visual novel Queen at Arms was released to fans of the tale of a war, self discovery, and a bit of gender bending. Now, we finally get to see the special deluxe edition of the game in just a week or so. On…
Two years and over forty updates after the launch of the Kickstarter, the first part of The Slaughter has finally been released. Developer Brainchild has kept backers in the loop with new information on nearly a monthly basis since the campaign ended and I’m happy…
The sordid tale of Kickstarter success turned videogame pariah Godus appeared to come to a head this afternoon as famed designer Peter Molyneux announced on Twitter that his controversial god game would be removed from Steam. Peter also stated that he would be officially retiring…
