The passion project of Earthworm Jim creator Doug TenNapel, Armikrog is a perfect demonstration of everything that’s great about crowdfunding. After all, what…
I’ve got a confession to make. I hate clowns. They scare the living hell out of me. Which is why I didn’t back Dropsy when it ran on Kickstarter. However, I’ve heard good things about it and decided to put my fears to the side…
Back in the beginning of the year The Dark Inside Me, a point and click horror game, was crowdfunding on IndieGogo. It had 78 backers and 1,117 USD raised within a month. A trailer was released, a good handful of images were shown, and Akçay…
Home Free, the first Kickstarter project from Kevin Cancienne, is off to an amazing start. The campaign has only just launched and has already earned more than half of its $50,000 funding goal. Why? Because people love dogs, that’s why, and Home Free has them…

I’ll admit that when I first heard of Undertale, I was intrigued. Pacifist play supported in a game with combat? Interesting! But then I saw the “retro” style graphics?” and thought, “Eh, probably garbage.” Now, I’m no graphics snob, but normally, I associate modern games…
