Screenshot Saturday Featuring Sea of Stars, Symphonia, More

April 19th - via: hardcoregamer.com
Hello, folks, welcome to yet another edition of Screenshot Saturday, where…well, to be honest, I am really starting to get burnt out a bit. Not via the games that show up each weekend or the quality of them, but by god, SO MANY people seem to not know what the #screenshotsaturday tag is for anymore, even though a ten-second Google search can tell you that it’s a way for indie developers and more to show of bits of the various games they’re working on. But with many people being driven to boredom by their current conditions and the state of the world, it feels like half my time today was basically spent going through spam posts that abused the tag en masse and had nothing to do with video games at all. Just political crap, hucksters, random musings, and more. This is going to be tough if this keeps up…but nonetheless, we still have some amazing games to feature that turned up, so let’s get to it! (Read More)

April 17th - via: gamesradar.com
Sea of Stars, a turn-based RPG set in the same world as 2D ninja platformer The Messenger, has raised over $1 million on Kickstarter. Developer Sabotage Studio's Kickstarter campaign will end on April 18, and it's already raised over 10 times its target, smashing every one of Sea of Stars' stretch goals in the process.

Sea of Stars Kickstarter hits final DLC stretch goal before it's announced

April 9th - via: shacknews.com
Sea of Stars had one more stretch goal set for its Kickstarter, but before Sabotage could even reveal what it was, it was already funded.

They also have some great ambitions for the retro-style RPG, ones that they hope to hit with the help of their ongoing Kickstarter. Their crowdfunding effort has been blowing past a number of goals and before developer Sabotage could even reveal what the final stretch goal was, the Sea of Stars Kickstarter surpassed that goal. (Read More)
