VR vs. Kickstarter

April 8th - via: vrfocus.com
Kickstarter can be a brilliant thing. As an innovative website that lets people pitch product ideas and have fans pledge donations of their choosing, it makes all kinds of unique videogames, peripherals and just about everything else possible when investor’s risk assessments don’t turn out favourably. Not to mention that it allows creators to retain complete control of their vision and, for better or worse, reduces financial pressures upon those makers. (Read More)

Kickstart This! The Guinness Aftermath Edition

March 27th - via: warpzoned.com
While most of Ireland went about their business as usual on March 17th, many parts of the world decided to paint themselves green and drink several pints of the black stuff to commemorate the man who drove the snakes from the Emerald Isle. It doesn’t matter that these people are not really Irish, that St. Patrick probably didn’t drive out the snakes (as there were no snakes to begin with), or that the saint’s real colour is blue. The true meaning of St. Paddy’s Day is less about the man and his legend, and more about the celebration and enjoyment of life. (Read More)

Bear Simulator Kickstarter Page is Filled With Red Flags

March 25th - via: pixelcritique.com
Yesterday, I mentioned the story of Bear Simulator and it’s highly unlikely rise to funded status on Kickstarter. At the time I felt it prudent to avoid personal comments regarding the matter as much as possible, as I felt many of my observations were largely grounded in a fundamental misunderstanding of the appeal of this style of game. However, after looking over the Kickstarter page more intently, and other relevant materials, I was stunned by the amount of warning signs to be found. (Read More)

Skyrim as a Bear? Sorry Goat Simulator, Bear Simulator Just Kickstarted Our Hearts [VIDEO]

March 19th - via: gamenguide.com
Now, Goat Simulator is near and dear to our hearts, but Bear Simulator... well, who wouldn't want to be a bear, with all of the fish-eating and and terrorizing and hibernating that would entail? As developer Farjay Studios points out in their Kickstarter project to fund the game- "Sure it may seem like a 'dumb idea' or a 'really dumb idea'" but you can't honestly tell me you've never secretly wanted to be a bear wandering around the forest. That's just an outright lie." (Read More)
