That would be so awesome.

Spaceventure has a new prototype out:

They had an interview with Gary Owens (narrator on SQ4 and SQ6) earlier today:
http://guysfromandromeda.com/gary-ow...terview-61012/

After getting a lot of pledges in the last few days, their kickstarter is at over $460K and is extremely close at hitting its goal before it ends in the next day and ahalf.:

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
 

Yep, another good day of 30k and they will do it, this one is cutting it tight though.

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
 

Spaceventure has raised over $486K and is now "trending" to 100% on Kicktraq:
http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/spa...s-of-space-que

They also announced new $5 and $25 reward tiers today. For my mind though, if you're going to pledge $25, you might as well go for $30 with all the extra bonuses.

New video featuring Cluck Y'egger:

In other news, Lilly Looking Through is now over 100% funded:

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
 

$30 was actually what I was going to contribute (I'll do it tonight). I'm glad they are trend to 100%, makes the pledge that much easier.

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
 

Alright, I'll just throw in $15 for them.

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
 

With 20 hours left, the SpaceVenture KickStarter is fully funded:

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
 

YEAHIE! Funny, my boxset of old space quest games should be here this week. Glad I won't be playing them in vain :)

Edit: And backed :)

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
 

SpaceVenture now has a Paypal page for pledges:
http://guysfromandromeda.com/contribute-paypal/

Rewards are the same as for Kickstarter pledges. I think the Paypal page will stay up after the Kickstarter ends, which is good, because the Kickstarter will end in under 2 hours.

Chris Pope, the man managing the Kickstarter, had a family emergency yesterday, and so there hasn't been much official communication for the past day. Stretch goals will be announced later. Prototype 5 will be released as well. I don't know what the status of any live countdown to the end of the Kickstarter is.

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
 

Just pledged $50, cheating my mind into thinking that 4 games for $50 is a great deal. Hopefully one or both of my girls will enjoy playing them with me.

Anyone see any interesting new game kickstarters recently?

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
 

Did you see my earlier post about Dead state?

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
 

This is a pretty cool idea if it works, a trackball controller.

Unfortunately he loses points for revamping the PS3 controller and talks about it being more ergonomic in the process. :lol: Glancing at YouTube, it also appears he's not the first to do this.

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
 

Well, it looks like the rush of high-profile revival projects has died down. Nothing too ambitious currently on the site.

Zombie Playground and Lilly Looking Through both were successfully funded.

Only 5 hours left on the zombie RPG Dead State:

For adventure games, Quest For Infamy, a Quest for Glory inspired adventure game from the creators of the VGA remakes of Kings Quest 3 and Space Quest 2, ends tomorrow:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...-infamous-que/

There's also the adventure game Jack Houston and the Necronauts, a retro-pulp scifi adventure game from the developer of the yet-to-be-released fan adventure game the Han Solo Adventures.

Finally, the developer of the 1993 DOS game Jetpack is looking to revamp the title for modern platforms with Jetpack 2:

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
 

No interest in the new Android based free to play something or other TV console?

OUYA: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...o-game-console

<iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ouya/ouya-a-new-kind-of-video-game-console/widget/video.html" frameborder="0"> </iframe>

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
 

Eh...reminds me a bit of "The Phantom". Remember that?

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
 

I went ahead and pledged enough for a console. I can't keep being cynical about things like this if I'm to continue calling myself an idealist.

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
 

I liked it better when it was called the Pocket TV and came with Google Play:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...-tv-a-smart-tv

Of course, the Pocket TV is intended to be a more all-purpose "Android on TV" experience.


I was initially turned off by the OUYA requiring all games be F2P, but their FAQ clarifies that "this means [that] there will at least be a free demo..." which means it won't be too different than current Android apps that often offer a "lite" or "free" version. It also means it won't be too different from most consoles, which normally offer demos on almost all the available games.

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
 

Met their goal in one day. Over one million.

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
 

So you need a android to use Ouya? I have a Iphone

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
 

Closer to one third of one day ;)

I threw down $99. It's an interesting idea and even if it flops, I think there'll be enough free or homebrew content for the cost.

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
 

Of course not. It's a self-contained box that runs on the Android platform.

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
 

Not sure if serious, but they're using Android as the OS. So it doesn't matter what kind of phone you have.

Re: Ultimate Kickstarter Video Games Thread
 

Sweet.
