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:

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.:
http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/spa...-of-space-que/

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

Spaceventure has raised over $486K and is now "trending" to 100% on Kicktraq:

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:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...8?ref=activity

$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.

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

With 20 hours left, the SpaceVenture KickStarter is fully funded:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...-of-space-que/

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

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.

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.

Wasteland 2 posted an update with their Vision document and box art:

Anyone see any interesting new game kickstarters recently?

Did you see my earlier post about Dead state?

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. Glancing at YouTube, it also appears he's not the first to do this.

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:

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>

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

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.

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.

Met their goal in one day. Over one million.

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

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.

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

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

Sweet.
