Aguy | 772 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) I figured I'd make a thread for everyone to highlight new Kickstarters they are interested about, of news from projects they have already backed.

Scrobins | 1,726 Moderator · Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 It's hard for people to care if you aren't clear what you want the thread to be. You've suggested a thread for people to post their own Kickstarters, for people to share what they've backed, ongoing projects. Is it only for gaming-related Kickstarters, or can authors do their books? What is the criteria, and is this a thread where other people are sharing Kickstarters or are you maintaining a central list and updating it? EnigMog has a thread that provides updates on homebrew Kickstarters (though he hasn't updated it since April), and the homebrew section generally has new games, allowing devs to provide their own Kickstarter and other progress updates.

Aguy | 772 Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) Girl Genius - Adventures In Castle Heterodyne A fabulous Action Adventure game from the studio be Teslagrad, based on the award winning graphic novel series Girl Genius™ by Phil & Kaja Foglio. KS ends 10/3/20. They are currently at $50K of their $200K goal (25%) with planned releases for PC/Mac/Linux. Their stretch goals include releases for PS4/X1 and they said they are talking to Nintendo to get eShop approval. So far, $60 nets you a physical copy, but it doesn't say if it's PC only, or possibly consoles.

arch_8ngel | 1,597 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Kind of wish they had stayed with the distinct level design of the original instead of a rogue-lite. Twin stick shooters in that format can get very "samey-samey" very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For $15, give me some creative level design and gameplay that I can play through 2-3 times (once solo, once or twice co-op) and I'd be happy.

Aguy | 772 Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Doodle World An all new game for the NES. (Demo available) This one just started and is practically 100% funded already ($4K of $5K). The developer says the game is complete and just needs funds to produce and distribute, so planned released is January next year. The ROM file will be $10 but $35 will get you the game on a grey NES cart, $55 for a boxed copy, and $100 for a limited edition white cart.

Aguy | 772 Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 Lonesome Village | Cute puzzle-filled life simulator (Demo Available) Puzzle-solving fantasy adventure with social simulation It got fully funded in 24 hours and still has 3 weeks to go. It's coming out for PC and Switch next October. The creator says the game is 1/3 complete and the higher rewards include physical goodies (which is worrisome for a first time kickstarter), but considering there's a demo and TONS of detailed info and gameplay clips on the kickstarter page, this one looks like a winner.

Code Monkey | 2,010 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Kickstarter is dead to me. Still waiting on games I backed 6 years ago, I'll never back another Kickstarter game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,740 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Just now, Code Monkey said: Kickstarter is dead to me. Still waiting on games I backed 6 years ago, I'll never back another Kickstarter game. Same with a small exception. I will back a game if it's something I truly believe in and there is a chance the game won't happen without my support. I will happily pay money and wait in that situation. However, in the past, the games I've supported were all games that would have been developed even without the money from crowdfunding (Bloodstained, Justice Beaver). In this case, all I did was give them an unsecured pre-order. At the time, I didn't have an issue with it, but looking back on it, it's something I won't do again. Companies or groups (even small ones) with the means to develop their own games shouldn't use crowdfunding to raise funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,933 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I've always felt that about KS and the others like @Code Monkey said there, it has been dead to me ever since I saw the first scam of a post there I was suspicious, but when others opened up where there was no money back guarantee with people losing their shit over at indiegogo and others it looked like some pyramid scheme level sheistiness ot me so I have refused to back anything, ever. I'll read, watch, hope for the best but paying to get something maybe a promised 1-2 years out, and worse if it delays going 5+ years...screw that. I'm not some pre-investment ATM for potential scammers. I'd love to get that Goodboy Galaxy game on GBA, but holy crap 2023? Absolutely NOT.
