[Arulan]

I am currently backing Forged of Blood a great looking turn-based tactical CRPG where character stats / builds matter and players make meaningful moral choices

I made a thread for the game. It looks great, but it looks like they're having trouble getting the word out.

 

[Popstar]

.

 

[More_Badass]

I was confused at the $25,000 goal but it seems they're just using this as an early-access-but-not-called-that campaign.

Also, hey, Elminster Ed Greenwood. That's a pretty good get if you need a 'name' fantasy writer for a game project.

FTL took the same approach, so hard to say it isn't effective

[RPGDave]

And another KS game that I'm backing is Sacred Fire. It's a turn-based RPG set in Ancient Caledonia. It has an interesting idea for a "psychological combat" system that revolves around managing character's emotions (I'm not entirely sure how this will work yet, but it certainly sounds like something different).

Also, some may be interested to know that the game will feature Doug Cockle (voice of Geralt of Rivia) as the narrator.

 

[Zeldana]

Currently ongoing: Cheap Golf by Pixeljam (Dino Run DX guys)
I really like games that lean toward absurdity, so it'd be nice to see this funded!

 

[RPGDave]

Arcane "features a wide range of gameplay elements from several game genres, including RPG, Survival and Adventure. The primary focus of the game is the Adventurer's progression in the ancient arts of sorcery. Choose from a variety of magic practices, establish a base, combat monsters, craft items and survive the lands of Arcane".

This game has really nice looking high res pixel art and music sounds nice as well. KS page is a bit scant on details about gameplay but there's a design doc you can look at that goes into more detail. Seems promising.

It really does. One of the KS games I'm most excited about in quite some time. I'd like them to reach all of the VA related stretch goals... Not sure if that's possible but they're close to the $60K (player character inner voice) goal with 5 hrs to go.

Exo One only has a few days left on its Kickstarter, and still has a ways to go to reach its goal.

The developer released 5 minutes of footage yesterday that I thought looked really great!

 

[nynt9]

Finally got around to playing the Hellpoint demo. The concept and art style is cool, but the execution is incredibly clunky. Needs a lot of work before it can be something that's comparable even to something like Necropolis. I wish them the best and hope that this early showing is rough only because it's really really early.

Not For Resale is at 87% of its goal, campaign ending on July 12th. Plenty of clips available online now too.

I've been reading the comments and checking the games kickstarter updates for a while now as it looked interesting when it was on Kickstarter, it seems like it's been dead for quite a long time really. Hardly any communication, no listening to feedback, entire changes in scope and features removed or cut back, features that aren't even started, no gameplay really shown, constant delays etc. I didn't expect anything to come of it considering all that, but it seems it's definitely not going to happen now.
