Super Motherload - XGen Studios

I don't really know what else needs to be said. Everything from the original is intact with new collectables (including

Spoiler

Unobtanium

) and a bunch of new gameplay mechanics.

So it seems Ice-Pick Lodge; they of Pathologic, The Void, and Cargo: Quest for Gravity infamy have decided to try their hand at Kickstarter for their next weird opus, Knock-knock.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1535515364/knock-knock

They're asking for $30K, the game can be had for $5.
These reward tier are just what we'd expect from IPL, because I want whatever lies behind the $47 mystery. Their art book, if anything like the Void special edition art work/soundtrack/etc, will be quite the read, is available for $20.

Don't expect me to define the game by genre, that won't be possible at this point, if ever.
Interesting, if slightly sinister tale of how the game came to be in the KS pitch video.

Project Giana

It's an all new Giana Sisters PC game by Black Forest Games (Formerly Spellbound, makers of Giana Sisters DS) with a soundtrack by Chris Hülbseck and Machinae Supremacy. Among the pledges are also an artbook with art from Pikomi, who did the art for the DS game. The game will feature a sort of light world/dark world system, along the lines of Sonic CD's Future and Present level swap.

Not to be insensitive, but the way their funding is going it should be

"Bad Dudes 2: Too Bad, Dudes "

EDIT: Is it me, or are the sprites King of Fighter's edits?

I appreciate all your updates! I'm going to make a suggestion though as I think it's going to work a lot better that you make an OT2 and have the mods lock this one because clearly Mr. Orange isn't going to be coming back to update and it would be best to have the list in the OP.

I'd also suggest that you tag two posts at least following your OP to have for future updates since the list is going to get really long and that way you have some room to work with.

Stretch Goals: Let’s get this game even more made-ier!

$40,000: More in-depth character creator. This character creator allows players to design their avatar down to specific attributes rather than just picking from a vast assortment of faces.

$50,000: Co-op Mode: A second player, either local or online can tag along as the soulmate. There will also be additional missions only for co-op mode.

$75,000: Longer Story for initial launch. Right now we’re planning on releasing Moon Intern with around 32 “game days”. If we were to reach this stretch goal, we would like to add something like 20 days giving us a grand total of around 50 days.

$100,000: Multiplayer Battle Mode : If you help us go over this much, then, wow. We wouldn’t even know what to do with it! Well I guess we do. Basically, if we go over this goal, we would be able to get some more people on board to make an amazingly awesome multiplayer battle mode.

$20,000,000,000 : We will finance an actual Moon Colony.

I completely agree with that. The way I'm currently updating things in this thread is a bit disorganized, and creating a new op would solve that. I would at least need one main OP and two additional reserved posts. My previous post is getting very close to its 24,000 character limit and that was after two months of casual updates, so yeah, one post isn't enough.

I'm also not sure if I should leave out the list of unsuccessful/ cancelled projects from the OP? I only leave it here for record keeping sake, but it does take up a lot of space. It's interesting to see what projects didn't get successful backing and what ones did.

Also, I'm also sure Mr Orange won't mind if I swiped his graphics and reused them in a new OP. I'm not really sure what font that is.

Expeditions: Conquistador is a tactical roleplaying game with a touch of strategic resource management and a pinch of choose-your-own-adventure. Conquistador is set in a rarely visited part of history which is rife with mystery, political intrigue, and good old-fashioned violence.

You will take on the role of a Spanish Conquistador in South America in 1518-1520. Select the members of your expedition and explore campaign maps based on the actual topological maps of Hispaniola and Mexico. Through intricately branching dialogue, you will engage with the characters and situations that you encounter across these uncharted areas, and when it’s time to spill blood, a tactical combat system of great depth and brutality will let you control your individual troops in battle.

Combat is intimate and detailed, and failure has great consequences. Every expedition member has a face, a past, a set of personality traits, and of course a combat role - their morale will change depending on your decisions, they will chime in when you're weighing your options, and if they fall in battle, their injuries will carry over to the world map, where they must be treated by your doctors until they're back on their feet. Should you fail to treat your expedition members, they will die and be gone for good.

Choice and consequence is central to the play experience of Conquistador. As the leader of the expedition, you will face difficult decisions about the use of your troops and your resources, as well as how to engage with the factions of the savage New World. Will you defy history and be a diplomatic envoy of peace? Or will you be a ruthless conqueror determined to lay all of the Aztec Empire at your feet?

You should add Balance of the Planet to the list: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/544670315/balance-of-the-planet

I only saw it reported in GB, which is a damn shame, considering Chris Crawford's pedigree...

The new Giana game deserves to have already made its funding by now.. but perhaps the game they are showing off appears too finished?

What is Harmonia?

Harmonia is an online tactical RPG, a fusion of the real-time strategy and roguelike genres. Think Shining Force + Warcraft + Nethack. Players command forces of one or more heroes and collaborate (or clash) as they battle, conquer, and explore.
Control a Band of Characters

Blending the social engagement of an MMO with the strategic interplay of a turn-based strategy game is no simple task, but that is the goal of the Harmonious engine. Gameplay will have the feel of an RTS like Starcraft but with greater emphasis on effective maneuvering and use of of individual units' skills. Though it is possible for players to adventure alone, they will quickly find that many areas cannot be traversed with a mere handful of units, and they must join forces to overcome the enemies that await them.
Eight Playable Classes

A force consists of characters composed from eight classes or mercenaries awarded during quests. To defeat their opponents, players must position their forces wisely when engaging in battle - protect the Archers, keep the Warriors on guard, use Knights to disrupt enemy front lines, attack the back ranks with mobile Birdsoldiers, and successfully manage the chaos on the battlefield while the opponent does the same. Complete quests, earn money, gather equipment, and gain experience to bolster your force. Unlock new player classes like the Dragon, Robot, or Lich by completing large zones.
Fully Moddable

Though there will be an official server with a unique storyline, setting, and characters, the Harmonious engine is designed for modding and players and developers alike will have the ability to run their own servers with completely different elements thanks to Harmonia's built-in scripting language.

The game uses SDL, a cross-platform multimedia library, and will be available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS/X. If there is demand, we can also port the game to the following platforms: Android, AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4, FreeBSD, BeOS/Haiku, iOS, Mac OS 9, MorphOS, OpenVMS, PlayStation Portable, Syllable, Symbian, and webOS.
