Growing up in the 90’s, it was pretty hard not to develop a fondness for Kaiju-centric entertainment. From the Power Rangers, to Godzilla (both the VHS movies and animated TV series), to the developing worldwide fondness for video games featuring massive-in-scale bosses, the Kaiju scene has always played an important role in most mainstream gamers’ lives. The development team at Kerberos understands this, and wants to provide an exciting new Kaiju experience with their upcoming IndieGoGo project, Kaiju-A-GoGo. I got the chance to chat with the team’s producer, Chris Stewart, about their plans for the light action-strategy adventure. (Read More)

Kerberos Productions, the makers of Sword of the Stars: The Pit, have gone back to the drawing board on their most recent game-in-development, Kaiju-a-Gogo. The team has revised their proposed plan for release, looking for a different way to deliver the monsters, mayhem and mad scientists they’ve promised to fans who miss the days of Crush, Crumble and Chomp. (Read More)

You might think, "Hey, taking over the world should be pretty easy when you own a giant monster!" That makes sense. But you'd be wrong. Cities will fight back, sending in the army, and in a few cases, something more... exotic. In every region of the... (Read More)

Hello gamers and philanthropists, and welcome to Kickstart This! New Home Office Edition, which (as the title suggests) comes direct from my brand spanking new home office. I’m surrounded by unpacked boxes of books, games, and most importantly, Legos, but like the Death Star, it is armed and fully operational. With that in mind, let us turn our aim to the spectacle that is Kickstarter, and the handful of recent video game projects that have risen above the fold in vying for your affections, attentions, and well-earned remuneration. (Read More)

A hearty Bwah-ah-ah to you all, fellow mad scientists!A number of people have asked about what languages Kaiju-A-GoGo will be in, so it seemed like a good topic for an update. Typically, our games are released in English, and then depending on the... (Read More)

Giant monster movies are awesome, and while western attempts at capturing that smashy magic have resulted in Fat Godzilla and Cloverfield, that’s not to say that we can’t do better. Maybe interactive media can help communicate the fun and carnage of destroying hundreds of homes, businesses, lives, ect. Kaiju-A-Gogo revolves entirely around the titular category of horrible monstrosities, each an abomination to a different area of science, each controlled by a mad scientist, and each looking to completely wreck some city. (Read More)

Wow! This is amazing! Our first 36 hours for this campaign have really flown. We're over 25% to our goal in only two days, we've been getting fantastic coverage and interesting discussions at lots of great press venues! Check the links at the bottom... (Read More)

As someone involved a bit with playful live events, my dream project is a Godzilla-esque model city installation. I want to fill a room with city for people to interact with as they see fit, wandering through its streets, admiring the handicraft, sitting down and chillaxing in the park, or perhaps stomping it down to the ground while roaring. Kaiju-a-Gogo is more focused on that last part. (Read More)

Anyone who's played Rampage has probably enjoyed assuming the role of the Kaiju, destroying cities and leveling armies in an unstoppable quest to… eat… things… or whatever. But what if Rampage could be a bit more strategic? (Read More)

There haven’t been nearly enough games where you terrorize modern cities as ravaging mecha Kaiju roused from the pits of nuclear hell, which is a shame. But luckily Kaiju-a-Gogo is a new entry in the genre that has been asleep probably since SNK’s King of the Monsters, unless you count the Hulk and Transformers games, which I don’t really. (Read More)
