Weekly Launchpad. What Videogame Kickstarters Launched Sep 21 – 27?

September 28th - via: cliqist.com
Every week we take a brief look at all of the Kickstarter campaigns that launched in the previous week.

You’ll find two types of campaigns listed, “featured” and “the rest“. Featured campaigns are those that contain a significant amount of game information, are from known developers, or are significant in some other way. The rest of the games are usually smaller campaigns that are lacking in information, are from unknowns, have unanswered questions, or have not yet stood out for one reason or another. (Read More)
