KickTraq

Last week's Kickstarter update brought the happy news of a rather decent-looking title getting funded for Wii U, while some new titles joined the roster. There are some long-shot targets though, and this week shows plenty of well-intentioned campaigns struggling for support. Is Kickstarter fatigue a factor? (Read More)

This time I’ve searched Kickstarter for games that have wonderful graphics or emanate a trippy vibe. Amplitude is getting a long-awaited upgrade, The Way has fluid sprite animation, and Loading Human is an adventure game that explores virtual reality. Do any of these projects appeal to you? (Read More)

Another World made such a powerful impact on my young mind that I’m willing to overlook the trials and errors involved, preferring to remember the grace of the animation, and the sense of alienation and companionship. I’d never played anything like it and can’t think of a similar game since that has lived up to those memories. The Kickstarter for otherworldly platformer The Way doesn’t require my Delphine-branded rose-tinted glasses. Another World is a clear inspiration – just look at the shields and the alien beast if – but the video isn’t reliant on flashbacks (reference very much intended). It’s a pretty piece of sci-fi. (Read More)

Another World attracted a lot of attention back in the early 90′s for its brilliant storyline and balance of cutscenes and gameplay for dramatic effect and ultimate immersion. It drastically changed the way we look at games and the overall design of one. (Read More)

This one's also inspired by Heart of Darkness and Another World--with the latter serving as inspiration for Flashback itself. You could say it's a game inspired by a game inspired by Another World. But that would sound silly. (Read More)

A lot of bygone genres have been making comebacks in recent years, like adventure games or fighting games, but a particular style of game has not yet made a return to the limelight. In today's terms, games like Out of This World, Heart of Darkness, or Flashback might be described as combinations of adventure games and puzzle platformers, but even that description is missing something that defines the titles. (Read More)

If you thought Another World, Heart of Darkness or Flashback was bloody brilliant, then wait till you see The Way by developers PlayWay, which is a new 2D Puzzle Platformer that has just appeared on Kickstarter. Featuring high quality pixelated art work, an immersive story line, uniquely designed creatures and puzzles, this is a game well worth funding. (Read More)
