Reven looks interesting. It looks like an updated 2d Metroid game.

This update on Kingdom Come is somewhat disturbing:

A lot, because I had deduced one interesting, almost shocking revelation from our negotiations: one of the main reasons why nobody had signed for our game was the fear, I would say almost horror, of the established big publishers that the new consoles would be a washout, that they weren’t powerful enough and that people today wanted nothing but free-to-play MM Os for iPad. So they were all preparing a few guaranteed mega-titles and waiting to see what happened with regard to everything else, which sent a few studios to the wall and might also result in a big drought for good console games in 2015, because I get the feeling from behind-the-scenes talk and indications that most publishers have nothing prepared for that year, because they didn’t want to plan that far ahead in such an uncertain climate and now they can hardly come up with something epic in less than two years. (But I might be wrong. Feel free to put me right if you know more than I do, which is entirely possible.)

...if this is true then a second Great Videogame Crash really is inevitable.

While that might be true, since the Xbox One and PS 4 were really successful I think there's nothing to worry about.

Darkest Dungeon looks AMAZING. This could very well be the FTL Faster Than Light of Low Fantasy Rogue Likes.

80 minutes left for Unsung Story (by the Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics guy).

So far it looks like it's barely meeting its goal, with none of the stretch goals. And by "so far" I mean it's not going to get 100k in an hour. Oh well.

Pro Wrestling X is trying another Kickstarter after the first one failed a couple years ago. Now the funding goal is a lot lower than before and the higher price tiers give out stretch goals.

Here's a double dose of spaced-out Kickstarters!

Planets³ is an open-world voxel-based RPG that allows you to travel to different planets. However, you'll have to either unlock or build a spaceship first. In the meantime, you can gain the trust of the natives of the planet you're on so they can help you master the crafting system and gain new skills.

The Orion Project is a sci-fi open-world game from the people that brought you Orion: Dino Horde. It has interactive AI (everything behaves differently toward one another), complete customization of your character, and space travel. Also, it involves dinosaurs and robots.

[up][up] I don't see the stretch goals... not to mention that they've already stated that they're leery of stretch goals because the stretch goals can wind up sabotaging the actual goal of completing the main game.

I've made my donation again. For those who've donated before, they've kept track of those who've donated in the past and they've made a promise to add the current donation in to ensure that you get a reward in fitting with your total donations. So if you'd donated $75 before and did $25 now, you're actually in the $100 tier.

Remember how I showed concern for A Hat In Time possibly devolving into drama and all that, due to the shady history of one of the people working on this? Turns out, it's actually been coming along quite nicely. Guess there wasn't too much to worry about. Here's the alpha build of that game if you're curious.

You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!

So Chaos Reborn from Gollop

Pity its probably not going to get funded(despite being relatively low goal) because for some reason Julian Gollop aka the lead designer of original XCOM doesn't seem to be as remembered for it as he should be tongue

Nah, I'm just being pessimistic there, I'd assume its going to get funded, just not... Fast. Like, Wasteland 2 fast. Because seriously, that guy would deserve that, but noooooooo, for some reason few people are aware of that or XCOM <_<

Reposting Planets³ because it still hasn't been funded and it has just a little over 3 days left. Maybe you guys could give it a push?

Pro Wrestling X has over $16,000 of the original $6,400 goal, enough to hit the stretch goal for "International Objects", with 7 hours left.

I've got high hopes for this game, but at 10+ years of development, I also have some misgivings.
