Every month Kickstarter is full of wild successes, and depressing failures. While some are always going to have that massive fan push behind them to see hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding others barely make it to the finish line. Due to the nature…
I love visual novels. I love stories about duality. I love stories with paladins. So, it should come as to no surprise that I couldn’t back Brilliant Shadows quickly enough. And, after finally finding the time to play through it I just have to say…
Yes you read that right – there’s a Kickstarter for a new football game from Jon Hare with planned releases for PC, Xbox One and PS4 in December 2016. The Sensible Soccer series of the 1990s has a special place in the hearts of a whole…
Hope Chapman of developer PangoDango Games has, after several months of silence, posted an update on the progress of visual novel title Lovely Little Thieves. Along with apologising for the lack of updates since July the update included a revised release schedule pushing the final…
Being interested in seeing just exactly how the turn based dungeon crawler Infinite Adventures plays I decided to take a brief look at the demo the developers provided for the Kickstarter campaign. Before I go into my analysis of it I will point out that…
Despite not being a fan of Metroidvania style games the basic plot for Dark Flame was enough to make me at least interested in seeing exactly how the game played out. Thankfully, they provided a demo so that those like me who are on the…
I’m usually one to forgive some setbacks when it comes to developing a game using funds generously donated by backers. After all, things happen beyond the control of those in charge. Delays happen, people quit, they run out of money, etc. However, I’m usually only…
By now it should come as to no surprise that I’m a fan of card games, particularly of the collectible variety. So, when I heard that there would be another hybrid game coming soon to Kickstarter I had to check it out. While we know…
Just when you think visual novels couldn’t get any weirder it’s almost inevitable that another one comes along to make you question your sanity. After being able to date birds, dragons, and even girls with the personality of World War II tanks one has to…
Despite being a big fan of visual novels I’ll have to admit that I haven’t been following Sekai Project and their translation projects as closely as I should be. With that said, checking out the latest update for World End Economica it appears that they…
After a successful Kickstarter funding their first IP as an indie studio The Molasses Flood, comprised of several AAA industry veterans, has released The Flame in the Flood on Steam Early Access. This roguelike survival game built on top of the Unreal 4 Engine runs smoothly on a…
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…
The Kickstarter page for space combat simulator CDF Starfighter shows off some impressive screenshots, some even more impressive gameplay videos and comes from a development studio that has already released two games on Steam. So why has it got off to such a comparatively slow…
Kickstarter backers of Lucy – The Eternity She Wished For will have noticed these past few weeks that the visual novel title failed to meet its October 2015 scheduled release. Korean developers M-vizlab have now apologised for the lack of updates and confirmed Lucy will…
I don’t think Earthbound/Mother 2 needs much of an intro, but if you need it, it’s a Super Nintendo RPG set in modern times with an unhealthy dose of pop culture references and humor that’s got quite the cult following. The series isn’t very long, but…
I’ll admit that, after all the news revolving around AJ Tilley and the less than stellar release of Beach Bounce that I went in with very low expectations when I decided to try out Divine Slice of Life. And, to put it in a single…
