Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption squeaked by and reached its goal, so it's funded. Shadowgate still has about $20K to go with 4 days left.
30 games for $15 This Kickstarter has an exclusive new game by Keita Takahashi (creator of Katamari Damacy). You can pay $5 for that game, or pay $10 more and get 29 other games, many by established indie developers: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...ng-video-games Thorvalla An RPG by game designer Guido Henkel (Planescape: Torment, Realms of Arkania, Fallout 2, Neverwinter Nights). http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...y-guido-henkel Limit Theory An Infinite, Procedural Space Game. The developer is a bit of a novices (still in college!), but has managed to develop the game enough so far to produce some impressive screenshots. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...ral-space-game |
Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
Thorvalla sounds great, but once again I think it's a game that set their goal ($1,000,000) too high for what it is.

Peter Molyneux and co. has a Kickstarter project up, something called Project GODUS. Looks like it's intended to be a reinvention of Populous.

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
The "30 games for $15" Kickstarter for LA Game Space has added 5 classic games to their $15+ tiers:

You still also get the exclusive new game by Keita Takahashi and 30+ new games from other indie developers. That's over 36 games for just $15. |

That said, you can decrease your pledge at any time before the final 24 hours of a Kickstarter project (and possibly within the final 24 hours as long as it doesn't affect whether the project will be funded or not). |

Have you used Kickstarter before? When you make the pledge, you give them authorization via Amazon Payments to charge your credit card for the amount of your pledge. That charge goes through automatically at the end of the Kickstarter.

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
Seriously? Fable, Black & White, Project Milo. He's notorious for promising a zillion cool features and delivering 2 or 3 moderately interesting ones.

I wouldn't touch a Peter Molyenux Kickstarter with a 10 foot pole.

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
Fable 2 was pretty cool.

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
Shadowgate got funded at met one stretch goal. With Paypal funding still going they may reach another. Paypal link below:
http://www.zojoi.com/shadowgate_campaign.htm Pathfinder Online is back, this time funding the actual game. The Tech Demo Kickstarter was apparently successful in getting enough investors to fund the game, but they're using Kickstarter to speed up/expand the development: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...sy-sandbox-mmo Dizzy Returns is a brand new Dizzy game by the original creators, The Oliver Twins. This was apparently a popular UK game series back in the 80s and 90s (I hadn't heard of it before this kickstarter). http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/.../dizzy-returns Legend of Dungeon is a 4 Player Co-Op Roguelike-like Beat'em'up with pixel art. They have a playable demo available. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...end-of-dungeon Interview with creators: http://www.incgamers.com/2012/11/qa-...botloveskitty/ Alpha Colony is building and trading sim game for iPad and PC that only has 3 days left to get funded: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...-and-trading-g |
Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
Alpha Colony ended only $28 short of their goal. That has to be the closest failure margin ever:

Too bad about Alpha Colony...that's one I would have funded for sure, but I missed Jay Z's post a couple days ago. :(

Article on Alpha Colony, where the developer is basically relieved the Kickstarter failed instead of barely succeed, as $50K would've left the game underfunded (they were apparently hoping for stretch goals):

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
A new article that talks about a lack of transparency in some game Kickstarters, especially a lack of details when launched:

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
With the help of a last minute appeal on the Playstation Blog, the SPORTSFRIENDS Kickstarter made its $150,000 goal by the skin of its teeth. It really didn't look appealing to me at all (and I'm one of very few who actually bought a few Move games in the past). Still congrats for eking out funding.

Another kickstarter where people might be out of their money. As always folks, know what you are getting into Article from Escapist: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news...es-Bad-UPDATED This interview from last month shows part of the problem may have been caused by a shift in focus to something more ambitious than proposed in the Kickstarter: http://videogamewriters.com/sunday-s...mer-labs-57127 The beta will launch… when it’s ready! [Laughs] What will determine how quickly it gets ready is how quickly we can get the necessary funding and programmers to do it. We can deliver a bunch of levels that deliver on what we promised originally, but what we have in mind is ten times more ambitious. We’ve been talking to quite a few interested investors, philanthropists and foundations, and it looks like they’re going to be willing to help us finish the job. Some of the anxiety appears to be because Alex Peake's last company, Tatical Corsets, appears to have imploded leaving many orders unfilled: http://blog.sinthetik.com/please-re-...ost-the-signal That said, the only evidence for Code Hero running out of money has been a disgruntled backer claiming such. In other news, Thorvalla was cancelled a week and a half ago. It wasn't raising money at the rate they felt was needed to reach their goal: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...l/posts/361617 |
Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
More Code Hero news.
Developer Alex Peake updated his update with some FAQs: https://primerlabs.com/developmentcontinues Did you run out of money? What did you spend the money on? Yes, we ran out of funding because development took longer than expected and the Kickstarter money went to paying developers. Fortunately, we still have a team dedicated to working on the project as volunteers until it is finished or we raise more money and can pay everyone again. Why did the project take longer than expected? To teach people real game programming as we set out to do, we had to expand the scope of the game. We focused on building Code Hero around teaching not just the original code ray shooting game mechanic but also a game building toolset so you can build, code, edit and upload worlds to the servers. Joystiq article on it: http://www.joystiq.com/2012/12/13/co...success-story/ Audio interview with Alex Peake: http://videogamewriters.com/when-a-k...ex-peake-58309 |
