Been starting to keep an eye on a few kickstarters to see how they are progressing and it's been quite interesting to follow them regularly

I can imagine the dev's are sitting watching the pledges slowly get closer to the required target and feeling pretty nervous

 

[KimonoNoNo]

14k to go with 4 days left, do you guys think Powerdrive can make it?

And on that note it feels kind of weird having 80's nostalgia as I remember it the first time round.

 

[titch]

You never know but needing almost another third seems a lot.

 

[More_Badass]

I think Power Drive could make it. I've seen crazier stuff happen in the last 48 hours of campaigns

They've all been mentioned here but especially Dimension Drive - after the false start last time i really hope they get there.

The others have been Umbra plus The Aquatic Adventures of the Last Human, and recently Hero-U.

Also a special mention to Light Fall - nearly there with i few days to go - hopefully a last few days surge will see them hit the target

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Independent by Design better meet its goal. It looks amazing.

No surprise that Umbra made it's 1/4m target!!!

Dear Activision. Do not absorb these guys, but take notice.
Beautiful pre-alpha footage

TBT4 tomorrow.

Everyone who backs gets WL2, TW, or TW2. According to FaceBookz.

Power Drive 2000 is cutting it close. Such a cool looking game too, kind of surprising that it didn't sail past the goal.

 

[squadr0n]

Little Devil Inside was able to achieve their (extremely high) KS goal, espically for a bunch of kids with no experiance. Cannot wait to see this game if it makes it through the development phase. Looks like it could be a really amazing game.

Did anyone else have trouble with their funds going through? I think it had something to do with the AUS too US currency exchange causing the issue.

 

[Bishop Games]

Hello folks!

With 3 days left we are now approaching our goal for Light Fall.

Today I'm just dropping by to present you The Player's Journey: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bishopgames/light-fall-escape-the-light-embrace-the-night/posts/1246944. This is an overview of the regions and levels you will explore in the game. Hope you enjoy and thanks for the support!

 

[garin]

Just a brief note that Monsters' Den: Godfall is entering its final 48 hours. With a little luck we can make the goal, but if you were considering backing time is running out.

[ElectricThunder]

Something about the look and feel of Defragmented gives me a good feeling, could be the less common setting for this sort of game, but still---seems worth keeping tabs on at the least:

[Buggy Loop]

So is it me or its looking bad for Starfighter inc? 75k ish more to go until saturday, im not sceptic it wont pass funding but, only tier 1, kind of a skeleton product. They were insane with those tier goals looking back at it. I kind of regret backing now, kind of bought blindly because of Xwing vs Tie fighter but actually, the multiplayer focus i now realize is not really what im looking for in a space sim, MMO like ala EVE maybe, but 16 players ? Not so much. Kind of sad that any single player focus is not until 10.5M tier, which is ridiculous.

Regalia is up. If you guys like strategy jrpgs (I know some of you do!) then it could be interesting to you.

- large cast of characters with social links
- light 4X elements (factions, diplomacy)
- classic rpg world map with no content gating

Nope, it's written from scratch in Unity. It uses 3D models for characters.

Well you can add a +1 in the backers column.

First kickstarter for me but this game has my name written all over it.

 

[Unicorn]

I'm not going to lie. I really want this game to happen.

It has parries! Which allows item grabbing/catching like in Smash! It really looks like the best progression combat-wise of Powerstone.

 

[barjed]

We have just posted a very large, meaty Update 1 to the campaign, focusing on the combat system in greater detail. In addition, we tried to address some of the concerns people had about empty battlefields. Please, do check us out!

Defragmented

Defragmented is a 3rd-person cyberpunk action-RPG. Immerse yourself in lightning-fast action, futuristic loot, and a pulsing synth soundtrack – all wrapped up in a tribute to the past 40 years of cyberpunk history.

The Frankenstein Wars

Tom and Anton Clerval have long guarded the secret to Victor Frankenstein's resurrection technology. In revolutionary France, in 1827, that secret at last comes to light. The radical Zeroiste movement creates an army of the reanimated dead to seize control of the country, and then to cross the Channel to strike at the heart of the British Empire. Only Tom and Anton have the power to halt the Zeroistes - or to stoke the flames of all-out war. Decide the fate of the world in this enhanced interactive adventure in the same vein as classic series such as Fighting Fantasy or Choose Your Own Adventure.

Diluvion

Diluvion is a fully 3D open world submarine exploration & combat game with crew and character interactions displayed in intricately painted 2D cutaways.
The world of Diluvion is an unforgiving place. Forced into the ocean by the Great Flood and now trapped under an impenetrable layer of ice, humanity hangs by a tenuous thread. By a twist of fate, you, an aspiring submarine captain, have been given the honor of commanding your first sub. With a brave crew at your command, you now venture into the unknown.

Regalia: Of Men And Monarchs

Regalia is a new kind of JRPG straight from the heart of Europe. Tactical, turn-based battles mixed with rich story, social links, 4X elements, pleasant hand-drawn visuals and a fantastic soundtrack.

Song of Horror

Song of Horror is a story-driven third person survival horror combining an inspiration in the old school classics with modern design and visuals, evocative of mankind’s eternal fear of what cannot be understood. Take control of up to 16 characters who have been plunged, throughout time, into a nightmare for which they are not prepared.

The Lost Pisces

The Lost Pisces is an indie sci-fi video-game that re-imagines the Little Mermaid, with an emphasis on KINECT-based AI enhancements.

We Happy Few

We Happy Few is the tale of a plucky bunch of slightly terrible people trying to escape from a lifetime of cheerful delusion. Set in a drug-fuelled, retro-futuristic city in an alternative history 1964 England, you’ll have to blend in with its other citizens, who don’t take kindly to people who don’t abide by their not-so-normal rules.
It’s a first-person game, set in a procedurally generated, fully 3D city that you must escape before society collapses around you. But, like any good roguelike, you’re probably going to die a few times before you figure out how it all works.

The Bards Tale IV

The Bard’s Tale IV allows you to develop, progress and grow a party of adventurers as you see fit. Build a combat-hardened warrior to lead the way, or a spell-flinging Conjurer to provide support from the back lines. A character’s class provides the basic archetype, but as you progress you will tweak and evolve your party to suit your play style.

You guys look fine as far as hitting your goal, though.

Can I make a thread about Regalia? I want it to get more exposure because it looks amazing, but are we supposed to keep the kickstarter stuff in this thread?

 

[draetenth]

I don't see why not.. plenty of games in kickstarter have their own threads (like Bloodstained, Bard's Tale IV and many more).

Just a brief note that Monsters' Den: Godfall is entering its final 48 hours. With a little luck we can make the goal, but if you were considering backing time is running out.

Looks like you made it, congrats.

You can make a thread. I make Kickstarter threads all the time. This is just a general thread for game Kickstarters, it's totally fine to make threads about individual campaigns. Just check if one's already been posted

Indeed. But it will depend on how much exposition they'll have in the next few days, right? Hope they manage to keep the momentum.

Most of these look like they're videogames, but my friend has a party game (physical card) starter for an awesome game called Tropes: Horror Show Edition. I made a thread in OT with a few more details. It's honestly one of the most fun party games I've played in a long while, and I found it to have more replay value than a few of them.

The point is basically collect the most points and build creative story lines. There's some cards to keep it interesting like rewind and plot twist and stuff to keep friends from collecting stories.
