Kickstarter thread

Pushtrak

I think it'd be a good idea to have a thread where people can post about kickstarters they see for games. If this is a bad idea for whatever reason, mods feel free to shut it.

I'll start with one.

Soul Saga

A love letter to J-RPG classics from the Playstation era like Final Fantasy, Breath of Fire, Suikoden, and Persona.

For Wii U, PS4 and Vita. Oh, and in this specific case they're looking to Steam too. Anyone interested give 'em a vote here

This one has already met its goal, but there are still stretch goals, so I figured it worth posting.

I've backed it, because, Spectrum.

Vaguely Spectrum related Julian Gollop (of Chaos and rebelstar etc on Speccy and then onto X-Com) has Phoenix Point doing very nicely on its kickstarter. You get a steam key for Chaos Reborn for $10 pledge and above too.

The 80s / pixel-art aesthetic may be a bit ubiquitous at this stage in indie projects, but when it's executed as smartly and as arresting as this trailer suggests, it was hard not to take notice. The screen distortions are very jarring mind you, but hopefully that's just the trailer.

Just backed Kologeon

Looks very like Hyper Light Drifter, which is no bad thing.

I may or may not have been influenced by Jim Sterling...

So this looks pretty cool: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/656932681/ilios-betrayal-of-gods?ref=card

I'm so tempted to buy that right now, watched Jim Sterling's video of it, and some of the visuals struck me as very Evangelion inspired and that does tickle me right in the interests.

Got my backer key there yesterday & really looking forward to giving the thing a spin

really looks fantastic & like a quality product; initial reviews seems very favourable too I believe. For all the bad press Games on Kickstarter can get, it's always worth praising the projects that come to fruition

Mr E

Hyper Light Drifter is out now. Normally €19.99, but currently 10% off. Looks fantastic.

Overlord is a successor to Descent and was put on Kickstarter a few weeks ago, but it's looking like it won't hit it's target. Shame, as it's the first i've even heard of it and would love a proper descent sequel by the original team (i know Descent Underground is also being made).

New studio formed by some former Media Molecule folk.

Loving pretty much everything about this so far so fingers crossed it reaches its goal.

I've seen people give out about a project... because it's on Indiegogo instead of Kickstarter.

People are idiots.

You can download a prototype of the game here too http://nullpoint.schellgames.com/

Hmm, maybe I'm confusing it with something. They were hoping to get the programmer of Ori and the Blind Forest on board.

Edit: Found it, it's Project Pheonix. It's absolutely insane that they tried to go ahead with a project without a programmer! Thank god I didn't back it. It's been 2 years now and it was backed to the tune of $1 million. Unless there is a prototype or the team is at least competent then I'm not biting. If the project has contractors involved it isn't a sign of quality since they have other projects on the go and if the project fails to take off it's no skin off their back.

Jesus...

“Programming was listed on the KS page as one of our major risks to the project and we got hit by it,” reads the update.

Programming was a major risk? No ****.

After having waited for Clark to then have him never join, the team working on Project Phoenix are left with a lot of unfinished work, with none of the textures, script, level design, particle effects, voiceovers, and localization done, and with no Unreal 4 executable to work with either.

So what were they actually doing?
