Stop me if you’ve heard this before: a Kickstarter campaign raises a bunch of money, they do a good job releasing updates, then go silent for a year or so before mysteriously coming back and announcing a slew of changes. If you said something to…
When it comes to visual novels I generally feel that the best ones come out of Japan. That’s not to say that I don’t enjoy a good Western game but when it comes to interesting stories the Land of the Rising Sun tends to tell…
I’ve seen my fair share of weirdness when it comes to Kickstarter videos. This one though… This one is something else. I’m talking about Delta Legend – a blues-riddled RPG that landed on Kickstarter a few days ago. In its 5 minute-long pitch video, you will…
A month or so ago Agustin Cordes released an update for the first person horror adventure game Asylum stating that the game was still being worked on despite fans starting to wonder what was going on with the development for the game. Well, with the…
For the past week or so I’ve been in the addictive grip of Just Cause 3. Flying around a beautiful island country while I try and set my oppressed people free by blowing up everything they own is fantastic. In addition to that, I’ll be…
I love me a good card game, especially when it’s not just your run-of-the-mill Magic: The Gathering clone. Sure, I love standard CCGs but sometimes I just want something a little different. Particularly when it comes to a video game. And while it certainly has…
At first glance Savage: The Shard of Gosen just seems to be another attempt to cash in on the retro platformer nostalgia stirred up by Shovel Knight. Plenty of other Kickstarters went for the same route and it’s not hard to see why – making…
Have you ever dreamed of playing a Tim Burton game by way of MC Escher in a zero gravity environment? No? Oh, well, okay then. You kind of ruined this. For those of you that answered yes, DARQ is here on Indiegogo to give you…
I strongly hinted at this in my article about Undertale and including outsiders, Undertale performs so well because it engages its audiences. It’s not only trying to include outsiders topically, but it’s trying to include a broad audience and play with them, specifically by playing with their sense of self. Be…
I think everyone who derives any real enjoyment out of playing video games has sat down and thought about making their own game. It’s just a phase I think you go through, maybe more than once or twice. But unlike the majority of us who…
It feels like in my short time writing here, all I’ve covered is failed Kickstarter campaigns. Thankfully, what’s going on with Steel Assault by developer Sri Kankanahalli and company is different. As a holiday gift to backers, the team published their first update since July,…
Every week we take a brief look at all of the Kickstarter video game campaigns that launched in the previous week. This isn’t to say that all of these projects are worth your hard earned cash, but with any luck having all of them in…
When it comes to AJ Tilley and his crowdfunding antics it’s usually frustrating to hear more of the same. And of the remaining Kickstarters that I’m still a backer of both have sent updates letting us know what the current situation of their cyberpunk style…
Promising a surreal, narrative-focused episodic interactive experience, Kôna has changed quite a bit since it got successfully funded September last year. With the first episode named “Day One” and focusing on the story of a private detective having to uncover some mystery in Québec, it’s quite the…
Adventure fans will soon be treated to a pixelated experience in the form of The Slaughter, about a serial killer and a private investigator who finds himself in the middle of things. Two years ago a Kickstarter was ran and successfully funded and come January we’ll…
I love a game that takes a standard genre and puts a unique spin on it. And while the gameplay fares little different from other action RPGs what Sword ‘N’ Board brings to the table is a healthy dose of imagination; which is why I backed…
