Kickstarter Thread - 2014 - Making promising projects a reality

Added Echoes of Eridu to Ongoing. Looks like vibrant, hectic. Imagine Megaman with procedurally generated levels and co-op

Echoes of Eridu
Trailer
ECHOES OF ERIDU is an action-platformer built to play like Mega Man X and replay like your favorite roguelikes. The goal of this project is to produce a game that's co-op friendly and highly replayable without sacrificing tight, satisfying action-platformer gameplay.

Is there any actual thread for the game Planets³ yet? I think a thread to follow that game's development now that it's funded would be rad, because seriously, the game is fucking sick looking.
 
XenoRaptor is getting a Kickstarter soon! I've been playing this game for a few months now and it's fantastic. My favorite arcade bullet shooter, even more than Assault Android Cactus, and one of the few games on my growing GOTY 2014 list. It's just so fast, frantic, and fun
I've been regularly updating the XenoRaptor thread if you want to see more GIFs or the recent updates and additions
XenoRaptor is a coop twinstick bullet hell where you play as a cyberdragon battling armies of rocket propelled chainsaws, bulldozer tanks and other demonic warmachines.
You can build an enormous amount of distinct weapons by combining components dropped by bosses, making anything from an antimatter chaingun to a weapon which teleports attack bears into the cockpit of enemy ships.

So, anybody back The Seed? (Link is in OP)

Does it play like walking dead or stalker? I keep reading the graphic novel and it makes me feel like its a walking dead type of game..which I don't mind - but is it a STALKER more type of game play?

It's a visual novel/digital gamebook with choices, so closer to TWD but not really like either TWD or Stalker
 
JetGetters KS was cancelled, because the devs found an investor
We found an investor to assist tinyBuild in expanding our development and publishing efforts. Because of the time it will take in bringing our new partners up-to-speed and hiring on additional people for JetGetters we have decided to cancel the Kickstarter. The main reason for this is because we feel strongly that if we promise something, we better damn well deliver on it and with the few month delay we won't be able to deliver JetGetters this year.

We have a reputation to uphold and don't want to be lumped in with all the other kickstarters that have been delayed and or abandoned. Being up front and honest about everything is always what we strive for.

As mentioned above, JetGetters will still be coming out, but with a 2015 release date. What this means to you as backers is that you get to keep all your money and will still get to play JetGetters in the future!

Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it.
I hope so much that Four-Sided Fantasy gets funded.
 
Only 3 days left for Four Sided Fantasy. It currently has $18,515 out of its $35,000 goal. I hope it will succeed in the final hours.

Four Sided Fantasy is a game in which you have the ability to maneuver past obstacles using screen wrap. When you leave one side of the screen, you "wrap around" and come out on the other side. The player has the ability to toggle screen wrap on and off at any time.
