It’s taken me longer than I’d hoped, but I’ve finally managed to exorcise the last spirits of 2012 from the Kickstarter Katchup and the 2013 instalments can now begin. The extended break has left us with a lot to katch up on so there will be a lot of winners and losers this week, covering many of the games in the last Katchup. I’m not going to list every game that failed to reach its target but all the winners will be there, as well as any that are of particular interest or have detailed plans for the future. (Read More)

In February 2012, an iPhone dock became the first Kickstarter campaign to raise more than a million dollars. It was an impressive feat, but just one month later, that record was smashed by a gaming project.

Peter Molyneux is likely sleeping a little easier these days. The Kickstarter for Project Godus, Molyneux's effort to revive the largely ignored god game genre, has passed its £450,000 ($732,510) funding goal. After a rough start that seems to have put a dent in Molyneux's usually boundless enthusiasm, the project officially met its funding goal with slightly more than two days left to go. In the last day of fundraising, 22cans is now working toward new stretch goals, including additional single-player games modes, multiplayer co-op, and Linux/Ouya support. (Read More)

At the time of writing Godus stands at £418,000 – just £32,000 short of its goal. But with only 56 hours to go, it’s very much squeaky bums time down at developer 22Cans. (Read More)

Chris Roberts loves games. You can’t really fake this stuff. Roberts loves games now, not twenty years ago, and he loves the sort of games Kickstarter enables. I’ve gleaned this from the ultra-earnest message that graced Star Citizen’s Kickstarter page last night. “I don’t think this model works for everything and everyone, but I do think it is a very viable model for a lot of games. And I think it’s great model for some designers, genres and platforms that don’t get the big publisher love because their type of games don’t sell 10 million copies worldwide,” wrote Roberts. (Read More)

Peter Molyneux hasn’t really had to worry about the money needed to make games before. Back when he was making games as a smaller operation, he’d starve himself until a project was done and kick the software out into the world. Then, in his later days as a Microsoft exec, he had access to the huge coffers and resources of the company’s Xbox division. He may have had to lobby internally for the cash but it’s not like it wasn’t there. Now, the accomplished yet controversial game designer has to rely on the generosity and goodwill of others to get his next game made. And if the Kickstarter campaign for Godus — a re-invention of the popular god-game genre he innovated decades ago and the next title from his new, 22 Cans dev studio — doesn’t get fully funded, Molyneux says his marriage might be in trouble. (Read More)

Peter Molyneux’s colleagues at 22cans are worried about deadlines. They’re worried about the small matter of a pre-release demo, promised in their Godus Kickstarter pitch. But if that’s all they’re worried about - or at least, all they’ll admit to with their boss stood stage left - then I think we can get on and look forward to their other promises: living worlds occupied by living people; terrain deformation and tornadoes; the revival of the “entire god game genre”. (Read More)
