ila Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 With Strife doing his thing I figured it was time we started discussing kickstarters we have backed or are currently backing. The core of a successful Kickstarter is word of mouth and finding enough people willing to back a project. That being said: Cryamore Cryamore is a PC action RPG that takes design cues from many classic games, in particular Zelda and Metroid. I'm excited for it based on the Cryamore has already reached it's required backing amount and is currently working on stretch goals for Android and Ouya support, more in game content, and finally a home console release. I know a lot of us enjoy some old school gaming, so it's worth checking out if you haven't yet. What other projects are you backing? Feel free to share here.

Duckboy Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Cryamore is interesting art wise but it's a problem that it doesn't have more to show. They barely have any gameplay to show at all. Kickstarters for games need to at least have gameplay to show, if they aren't far enough along for a demo like Freedom Planet edit: Obviously that didn't effect Cryamore at all as far as getting pledges, but still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ila Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 That is the biggest thing slowing down it's pledges right now though. At the rate it's going the final stretch goal will be impossible. The team says it's working on making something a bit more tangible. I hope it's not too late for it though.

Asuma Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 If that's there official voice actor/actresses, I'm sold. Regardless. This looks like a worthy project to back. The main lead has a hint (a small hint) of Wendee Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicWind Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 OK, you guys have gotten me interested in this game. By the way, they're making a demo for release in late March. That's what the game's official Twitter account (or rather, that of the main character herself) says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Yeah like i said on AIM, im intrigued in the game but there's really not much game to see right now. I honestly skipped through almost the entire video looking for gameplay footage, but all they really have to show is development footage. It's obviously going to be promising, and everything about the game looks and sounds amazing. Just....the GAME is the only thing im waiting to see.

ila Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 So, any kickstarters you guys want to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawr Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 There was one that I wanted to, but the funding ended already... Radio The Universe However I will share it because word can be spread anyway and it looks fucking amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I dont browse the website very often to really pick up on them. Mostly because im poor. I DID actually stumble across ^Radio The Universe though. Reminds me of Cavestory for some reason. It looks like a promising project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowgoten Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/362353100/the-uncle-ruckus-movie I'm kinda hoping this gets backed, I'm a huge fan of the show and this character is absolutely ridiculous. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pixelscopic/delvers-drop?ref=category this is looking quite interesting though they're asking for quite a bit of funding... http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1312036782/project-awakened?ref=category This is also looking promising, not entirely sure what to expect with the finished product but what they've got so far is impressive.

Serephim Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/461687407/kickstarter-open-source-death-star I'm beginning to get a bit skeptical of my choices in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ila Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 @SG My problem with Project Awakening is that even with 500k, I don't think they are capable of everything they want. @Sereph I thought Kickstarter actually reviewed stuff before throwing it on the site? I'm submitting that one to Your Kickstarter Sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSF Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 It's been over already, but I backed the Pier Solar ports project. Dreamcast ftw. The cart version will be reprinted though - and I got my soundtrack CD to combine it with :] The problem is... I still need a Sega CD. ----------------------------- A goal almost impossible to reach, huh... KS does review projects... I thought? Maybe they didn't just feel like intervening. There's no way they're reaching 20 million quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ila Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I'd like to add that with a little less than 2 days left, Cryamore is getting really close to the home console stretch goal. Since the devs have switched to Unity they have been release web builds to show animation and other in progress stuff. Please give it a look if you haven't already.

SonicWind Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Sorry for gravedigging, but I have a few Kickstarters to post. Cymbil Spellcraft is an Action RPG inspired by Secret of Mana with co-op multiplayer and heavily destructible (and weaponizable) environments. It also has an in-game editor to create your own adventures, either with Cymbil and her companions or your own characters! The Kickstarter is starting off a little slow, so you should consider backing it. TinyKeep is another Action RPG, but this one has procedurally generated dungeons and a focus on intelligent monster AI (i.e., Some monsters have rivalries, such as skeletons and orcs, and will fight each other once close; monsters will sometimes lead you into ambushes; etc.). It has 11 days left, so it needs some help if it's going to get funded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ila Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 In case you guys are interested, Taeshi and Suitcase are running a Kickstarter to turn their webcomic Not Enough Rings into a book. Book is only $25 and the main goal has already been reached. I really enjoy the comic, and it brings up some great moments from the classic Sonic games, so I definitely recommend backing it if you enjoy it.

SonicFan2010 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 A Japanese indie game deveoper team has created the game known as Yatagarasu. Now they are upgrading it. The catch: They need you help in doing this. Click on the image below for more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serephim Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Looks amazing, but i'm completely blown out by 2D fighters at this point. I want to give $10 to support the cause, but if i got it for free i'd probably still never play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckboy Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 i think it looks pretty bland and uninspired, but even if it looked amazing i'd still say you probably shouldn't donate just because it's flexible funding. which is always really sketchy because they get to keep the money whether they reach their goal or not. In case you guys are interested, Taeshi and Suitcase are running a Kickstarter to turn their webcomic Not Enough Rings into a book. Book is only $25 and the main goal has already been reached. I really enjoy the comic, and it brings up some great moments from the classic Sonic games, so I definitely recommend backing it if you enjoy it. now THIS on the other hand is worth putting money towards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
