I've always been hesitant to get too excited about Kickstarter projects that promise to be "love letters" to the old-school RPGs that many of us love and cherish. It seems like every week there's a new group of indie developers promising to make the next Lunar or Final Fantasy VI. It can get a little exhausting. (Read More)

Playstation 4, Vita, and Linux Last night, we passed our targets for PS4, Vita and Linux and then some! PS1 games like FF Tactics, FFVII, and Suikoden are some of my all time favorites, and they've been a huge influence on the design for Liege. I... (Read More)

Just last week we told you about Liege, a title from developer Coda Games that's currently building up its crowdfunding campaign — which had already passed its initial funding target — and was in talks to be approved for Wii U development.

We are back talking about Kickstarters that are alive and still, ahem, kicking. While Kickstarter is bringing more functionality to our phones and tablets, including watching meat on our grill, us gamers know that the real stars of our devices are the increasingly complex and innovative games that are being released everyday. Kickstarter is a hotbed for this innovation and this week’s Kickstarters, including two that were just launched this past Sunday, are chalk full of that. (Read More)

Last week I was at Rezzed instead of looking at Kickstarter pages but I’ve made up for it by spending most of today browsing through projects. Thoughts of Kickstarter’s purpose have been hanging in the air (on twitter and in chatrooms that I frequent) and I have been pondering how I see the site. I have backed projects knowing that I’m essentially pre-ordering something that I assume will be released and will be as expected, based on the team’s previous work and a comfortable place in a familiar genre. But I mostly back smaller projects that I want to support and to play because they are different, risky and challenging. There’s a great deal of innovation among the nostalgia. (Read More)
