Hyper Light Drifter is doing a cross-over with Starr Mazer

Holy shit the game looks awesome. Shame about them not reaching the PS4 or Vita stretch goals.

Anybody have any applicable spidey sense on this weird ZRRO thing?

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1623845638/zrro-touch-your-tv-from-the-couch/description

I can't think of any of the gaming-aimed Android things taking quite this route on it, and I guess if it actually worked in full that'd be quite a feat indeed considering?

Project Scissors: Nightcry and This Is The Police both got funded. Haven't seen this many successful campaigns in a month in a while. That's 16 funded campaigns in February, and those are only the ones posted about in this thread.

Seems pretty...idk, silly? Play your touch screen games by not touching the screen. How does that improve the experience in any way? Okay, maybe it's innovative but it doesn't make any sense.

Like don't get me wrong, I play a lot of games on my iPad and phone, but it's still less comfortable and precise than a controller. I can only imagine that not touching the screen at all, no feedback at all, would make for a worse gaming experience.

[JC Sera]

I know kickstarter has at least once stepped out of a project with hate content, while indiegogo has refused. Can't think of any other differences aside from the funding model. It comes across as less regulated and moderated, but I'm not sure if thats true or not.

A rogue-like sci-fi strategy survival game with base building, tactical combat, crew management and emergent storytelling.

Halcyon 6 is a passion project inspired by our years years spent playing classic games like Star Control II, Master of Orion, X-COM, Civilization and of course, rogue-like games like FTL.

Halcyon 6 will target the PC/Mac first with other platforms later on.

I'm seeing XCOM and FTL influences galore, seems pretty interesting.
