Recently, long-time developer Tale of Tales revealed that they were no longer pursuing commercial video game production. Although they ran a successful Kickstarter for Sunset, it failed to attract much attention from the gaming populace after launch. This huge misstep caused the development team to…
All right, so I’m not intimately familiar with the Divinity series of games but it is one that I am certainly interested in. While I didn’t back Divinity: Original Sin it’s been on my list to play for a while now. And now might actually…
It’s rare to see a game switch developers midstream but it has been done before. Unfortunately, it’s even rarer to see it happen this late in the life cycle of the project. Which happens to be the case with Knite & The Ghost Lights. It will…
[dropcap size=big]W[/dropcap]ell, it was bound to happen eventually. The Kickstarter campaign for the fantasy RPG Mooncrest has been canceled by the developers. Based on what I saw of the pitch I was certain it would fail. Not because I like seeing projects flounder. Far from…
The Eighties called. They want their game back. Seriously, Bootleg Systems looks like something that neon obsessed futurists would come up with if they had today’s technology. And I’ll be honest here. I think it looks beautiful. There may not be a whole lot to…
Endless runner fans will now be treated to the mecha action of MechRunner as it finally has a tentative release schedule. While there is no official release date yet, it does look like a November launch for the Steam Machine console. Unfortunately, it looks like…
[dropcap size=big]I[/dropcap]’ve been waiting to get my hands on a demo for Order of Ataxia: Initial Effects ever since I first heard about the Kickstarter campaign. Besides being a visual novel, which is a genre that I really enjoy playing, it also delves into a subject…
[dropcap size=big]W[/dropcap]oolfe – The Red Hood Diaries hit Kickstarter with a fantastic concept back in 2014. Seriously, who wouldn’t want to play an action platformer where you play as a “vengeful Red Riding Hood?” It’s no wonder why developer GRIN Gamestudio made $72,193 in all,…
When I first read the tagline for CivCraft I thought the premise was going to fall flat from the start. After all, it’s not often that you see a first-person RPG melded with open world RTS gameplay. But, after looking at the pitch as a…
Some time ago I wrote a piece titled Fixing The Kickstarter Video Game Bubble. In it I contend that crowdfunding backers should be spreading their funding across more projects. Instead of dropping a hundred bucks on a single project, backers could better serve developers, themselves,…
[dropcap size=big]I[/dropcap]’ll be the first to admit that I’ve never heard of the Snarf comic strip for Dragon Magazine, although I am familiar with the periodical. I’ll also admit to not being familiar with the name of Larry Elmore. Before you strip me of my…
[dropcap size=big]E[/dropcap]very 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…
[dropcap size=big]C[/dropcap]ontradiction, sometimes known as Contradiction – Spot the Liar!, is one hell of a video game. It places you in the shoes of inspector Jenks, a man on a mission to discover the truth behind the death of a young woman. Players must dig…
There’s just something about side scrolling shooters. I’m not a fan of the genre, but that’s mostly because I suck at playing them. Still, Water: The World in Chaos does look like an interesting take on the style of gameplay even if it’s probably one…
It’s usually weird to see a horror adventure game paired up with a cute fantasy game but really I knew that this was going to happen eventually with OhNoo Studios offering copies of their first crowdfunded game Tormentum to tiers at and above $29 for…
Most games that have Beta builds waiting for backers to try out usually don’t give a checklist rundown of the planned road ahead. However, it looks like PULSAR: Lost Colony is one of the rare exceptions. In the latest update for the state of the game…
