avatar! | 1,928 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I know there have been a number of Kickstarter pages for specific games, but I thought it would be nice to have a general thread as well to highlight cool video games that might go under the radar! As of now, there are three cool campaigns I know of 1)Infinity: A Game Boy Color Tactical RPG back after 20 years! 2)Roniu's Tale for the NES - I believe this was already mentioned in another thread, but more publicity does not hurt 3)The Adventures of Panzer https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/panzer/the-adventures-of-panzer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kickstarter is closed for this but the collector's edition was still available when I ordered one a few days ago: I backed this when it was announced - should be shipping in the next couple of months. You can still pre-order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knud | 100 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 There is a pretty cool GBA game/Switch on Kickstarter now called Goodboy Galaxy. The game is exploration platformer, for those interested here is a link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/penguinrik/goodboy-galaxy-exploration-platform-game-gba-pc-and-switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The collector's edition was supposed to come in a red cart but they can't get them - it is going to be in a clear red case instead - which I like better.

RH | 5,196 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) Here's an interesting one. A cancelled Dune game for the GBA is being released. According to the Reddit (linked below) they are removing references to Dune and are cleaning up the code, regardless, it's the same game. It's not up yet, but you can follow the Kickstarter place holder for when it launches. https://old.reddit.com/r/Gameboy/comments/qm0302/cancelled_gba_game_getting_released/ https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/elland/elland-the-crystal-warsan-unreleased-gba-game Edited November 3, 2021 by RH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 5,092 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Haha Paprium kickstarter? And a Dec 2022 date for it to be delivered? BS! I'll believe that when I see it because every scrap of history of those watermelon clowns are laden with excuse upon excuse with delay and delay again. That lost mostly finished Dune GBA game getting another chance is nice, hopefully it works out this time with the Dune stuff scrubbed out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez | 3,139 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 If that "Dune" game is gonna be only those 3D shooting sections, it looks kind areally bad Fortunately there's already a really good Dune game out there for any new fans to the franchise. It kinda coined the whole RTS genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little dated with its limits, but still quite fun, and if you dump its files into Dune Legacy for Win(etc) it fixes those quality of life issues only which is perfect.

I'll believe that when I see it because every scrap of history of those watermelon clowns are laden with excuse upon excuse with delay and delay again. I backed their Pier Solar HD game on Kickstarter, and although it was delivered a few years past the "expected" date, it was nevertheless completed and delivered! Also, I though it was a very well designed collector's edition. I will give them this, they have always timely replied to inquires and have thus far delivered, even if it was far past the nominal date. However, I can't think of a single video game kickstarter which has actually delivered on time... so all in all, I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt since I like to support indie developers and I do think they make great games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 5,092 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Even then they dragged too much so I never bothered. I did get the game much later when it hit GoG.com and I put some distance into it, it's not great, but it's not bad either but it didn't hold my interest beyond some desert I think I stopped in. It felt just a bit stiff in places to where I kind of just lost interest and moved on. I know they can make a good product, but it's all the baggage.

It was a cancelled game based off of Dune. Apparently, it was "mostly complete", an proto was found and this guy/company has secured the rights (from the dev studio) to finish and release the game, however, all Dune-related references have been changed as to not infringe on that IP.
