.... LOL my wife walked in while I was watching that video....

I got to play a bit with the Conquistador beta thingy yesterday. A bit rough around the edges, but it looks promising (so far).

Very very buggy. Looking forward to the updated version... may take a while.

 

I feel like peanuts just supporting 2 games, PE and Expedition. :/

Kickstarter is a bit like communism. Each according to his ability (insert hammer and sickle symbol) :)

 

There are games I would have liked to support, but in the end I decided to prioritize an nothing prevents me (I hope) from supporting the other games by buying them through whatever distribution channels they become available through later. Shadowrun and the new Carmageddon games are such games.

 

Edit: Ability, not means. I suck at communism

Hm, I wonder when Derek Smart will launch a kickstarter.

I unbacked Project Eternity to back this.

Noticed the joke. This thing is hilarious.

 

Edited: Little late to the party. But, the worst thing about this is that I thought it totally real for a moment.

Has to get approved by a Kickstarter staffer before it goes properly live and start taking cash, but all the details about the Hero U Kickstarter are available:

 

 

For those unenlightened, it's Corey and Lori Ann Cole's successor to their Quest for Glory games.

Awesome! Other than PE, this was the other big Kickstarter I was waiting on.

That one might actually get me to pull out my wallet instead of just think about doing so.

I've heard a good deal of praise about the Ars Magica PnP game over the years, but reviews of Black Chicken Studios' other games are sparse so a bit of a toss-up for me atm.

 

Still thought it might be of interest around here so...here it is for the curious.

Well, if it's a good enough idea for Josh Sawyer to back, it's a good enough idea for me to back.

Wow, great news ! I loved Ars Magicka PnP. The setting is wonderful in its way to depict a substancial and coherent magic system.

I've backed so many projects that my wallet is crying:

 

Double Fine Adventure

Wasteland 2

Shadowrun Returns

Make Leisure Suit Larry Come Again

Jane Jensen's Moebius

Project Fedora/Tex Murphy

SpaceVenture

Grim Dawn

Expeditions Conquistador

Broken Sword - The Serpent's Curse

Project Eternity

 

Obviously nothing is certain until these, and other, projects come to fruition, but so far it seems that the winners with the whole Kickstarter thing blowing up are:

 

1) PC gamers

2) Linux gaming

3) Unity game engine

Everyone, back this.

 

This is an order!

 

PS: Kickstarter will one day make be bancrupt.

I just can't trust a game that's been in amateur development for 8 years. At some point, they should have narrowed it down to something shippable, instead of keeping the objective as being an "AAA" game.

 

Even if they got their money, I'm not sure they'd still finish it.

Solenttar

 

Solenttar is a story, party and turn-based computer RPG set in an unique world called Lanterna using the openForgeRPG engine (and a toolset).

 

tl;dr version Take the GoldBox games combat + NWN/IE interface and dialogues (and various other things) + editor == AWESOME. And only asking 4K.

 

Backed! Back to Top Ramen for the month......
