The Kickstarter Thread

OK, Gfted1, didn´t know about that. Anyway the message found it´s way to the right place. thanks.

I'm backing Stash: No Loot Left Behind

(Link)

 

Which is described as:

a multiplayer online RPG with turn based, tactical grid based combat, an incredible housing system, an engaging story shaped by its players, and much more. It takes place in the high fantasy world of Primordiax: the game world of all Frogdice games.

 

It still needs a little push to get funded and I hope it will happen, as I have been hanging out with the devs on the steam forum of some of their other games and they are a nice bunch who deserve getting funded.

I trust them to do a good job with the various customization ideas - after all, how many devs have managed to make a Doctor Mario-like game that has better player customization than some MMOs or a Match3 game with choices that matter?

when i read the words "multiplayer" and "onine" i´m generally out of it. too bad, as the rest of the description would actually fit my taste.

I hear you.

The same goes for me. If it weren't for the specific devs I would have stayed away myself for that very reason. I think the project is struggling a bit with funding exactly because a lot of people see those two words and decide to pass.

[Guest Slinky]

Sienna Storm kickstart failed miserably, they cancelled it before the funding time even ran out with no hope of reaching the goal.

 

Looks like Chris Avellone has to settle with the six hundred other games he is involved with currently 

[TSBasilisk]

That Which Sleeps

Cthulhu strategy game, where you're an ancient evil god/thing trying to free itself through subtle influence without catching the eye of heroes

 

Low goal, but it's apparently for art assets primarily as they claim to have done most of the development out-of-pocket

Just in case anyone magically missed it since it's on this same page, but Pathologic remake... Come on! Let's get this made! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1535515364/pathologic

[AGX-17]

For some reason, the La-Mulana 2 kickstarter achieved a level of stealth technology unheard of, so I wasn't aware of it to back it. Probably because the original freeware game is so much better than the Wii remake version and its ports (I swear, the original MSX homage version is leagues above the remake outside of compatibility with operating systems beyond windows XP.) Still, the demo was fun and I will buy it and many curries to go with it.

 

Warmachine Tactics, which I backed who knows how long ago, has promise, but like most early-access things I'm a bit leery of entering the metaphorical deep end of the (metaphorical) pool so I'm just going to sit on that like a hen on an egg until it (metaphorically) hatches.

Figuratively.

When I read the words "multiplayer" and "online" I start playing Team Fortress 2 and remind players that having a hat with stupid clouds of flies around it doesn't make you immune to explosions.

Graywalkers: Purgatory, an isometric turn-based, (supernatural) post-apoaclyptic CRPG now live on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dreamlordsdigital/graywalkers-purgatory-turn-based-post-apocalyptic/comments

[HoonDing]

I'm backing Woolfe, a platformer with some combat, some nifty enviromental puzzles, great atmosphere and graphics and (I got to play a demo) sound controls/gameplay.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/45588301/woolfe-the-red-hood-diaries

 

It is 94% funded and needs just the final boost.

 

Nifty: backers will get to create their own custom tin soldier opponent for the final game. As a trick to get attention to the campaign they put up an early version of the tin soldier editor:

http://army.woolfegame.com/ (you can change colour scheme and stats). For that, here is my referal code: 10199 (I am soldier 199 of the Woolfe army)

Obvious Alice Madness Returns ripoff, but it looks cool.

There's a new Kickstarter by Eddy Castillo, Produce of the first C&C game

Do some of you know Battle Realms? That's a really fantastic RTS back from 2001, his Kickstarter is a spinnoff of that game

It's going to be a Cardgame like Hearthstone, only much more complex and with added singleplayer value, as there is going to be a singleplayer campaign with lots of strategy and roleplaying elements

could be the first cardgame on pc that i will like, as i'm not too much into pvp usually

check it out, it looks really quite promising (for a card game at least):

Pathologic made its goal, weee! Here's hoping that they can do justice to the original, as well as elevate it beyond that.

[Nick2508]

Another one that´s looking pretty good already and also had a great start to its campaign: it is called "BEDLAM"

 

Description: A post-apocalyptic roguelike RPG featuring our unique blitz battle system - Inspired by great games like The Banner Saga, FTL and XCOM

 

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/skyshinegames/bedlam

[Volourn]

The two PA games look good if not ambitious. I mean, the first is promising quite a bit for only 40k. Multiple fantasy races but no dwarves.

[Keyrock]

Heroes Never Lose: Professor Puzzler's Perplexing Ploy - A Puzzle Fighter type game coming to Windows, Mac, Linux, and Wii U, with other platforms in stretch goals.  It's already funded with 11 days to go.  I love me some Puzzle Fighter so I'm definitely interested.  Nice low entry point too at 10 Canuck Bucks.

The developers of Graywalkers have just released a (Pre-alpha) Demo that you can download here.

Elegy for a Dead World

 

Less game and more visual novel, only you're the writer. You move through the ruins of three dead worlds and at various points are giving a writing prompt, allowing you to give your interpretation of what you're seeing.

 

They launched with a 20 day timespan, first time I've seen that.

[Malignacious]

Please support this game.

 

If you liked Banner saga or HOMM series, you will like this even more, because it's SF, apocalyptic, and has a more flexible turn based system.

[JadedWolf]

That really doesn't look like a very realistic budget.

[Malignacious]

Yes, but we don't know how much they've done already.

 

Many studios use Kickstarter as a Kickfinisher.

[Gorgon]

I like the concept art. The gameplay footage, if that's what it is, not so much. 

 

[Orogun01]

Agree, I can't get behind pink wasteland. They have an interesting art style that sort of reminds me of Moebius, if they could find a way to get that into the game I would probably support them. 

[Monte Carlo]

Nappy-wearing mohicans manipulate an acid-puking mutant in a terracotta desert. In .gif graphics.

 

And this is the guy who likes particle effects and rag-doll physics.

[PK htiw klaw eriF]

No ragdoll physics, no money.
