TB Commandos in an alternate WW I universe!

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1206086702/cornerstone-the-song-of-tyrim?ref=category

Wind waker meets Dark Souls An open world, action-adventure game with an emphasis on physics and player-choice, for PC, Mac and Linux.

Not asking for these to be added since I have some doubts about these, just a FYI for those who follow this thread:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2011341880/knite-and-the-ghost-lights?ref=category

Imagine taking a hand-crafted world and turning it into an amazing side-scrolling adventure. Knite & The Ghost Lights delivers a mixture of adventure, storytelling, and action from games we know and love like Metroid and Castlevania, but with a completely fresh feel for today’s gamer.

Sure looks pretty.
Not sure about gameplay.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dayvhack/europa-2022?ref=category

Europa 2022 is an adventure/horror/mystery game in a style that is new and exciting. Games like Uncharted, The Last of Us, and Heavy Rain are always exciting to me, but there's always been a special place in my heart for Point & Click adventures, like Monkey Island or King's Quest. So I decided to combine the two! Consider it a faster-paced, 3D adventure game, with the heart and soul of a point and click!

vaporware:

TB Commandos in an alternate WW I universe!

1618 – 1648: Thirty-three years war. The Habsburgs against the anti-Habsburg coalition of HRE and France. Thanks to the leadership talent of Albrecht von Wallenstein and competent coordination of the Spanish and Austrian armies, Habsburg forces win. It’s a landslide victory. Under the peace treaty the Kingdoms of Germany and Italy are restored. The title of King of Germany and Italy are assigned to the emperor of the HRE. The Habsburgs introduced Salic law of succession into the HRE.

RPS and the like are going to love this.

never heard of this game or this guy, just a FYI

Doesn't seem interesting to me honestly, unless people will show interest I will ignore it.


By the way added:
Worlds of Magic
The Mandate
RimWorld
Cosmic Star Heroine (Sci-Fi/Spy RPG) for PC/Mac/PS4/Vita
Steam Squad
Cornerstone: The Song of Tyrim
Knite & The Ghost Lights The worisome part here is the low sum they are asking for.
Europa 2022 Very low sum too.


I didn't add Unwritten: Echoes of Twilight because he is asking the most and showing the less.

[OuterSpace]

Survival simulator with a minimalist visual style.

They've posted a brief gameplay trailer:

I'm surprised by how little money this kickstarter has generated so far. I'm a little worried that they were expecting to greatly exceed their funding goal.

Edit: embedded video

 

[kaizoku]

I can't say if this game will be a good one or not, but considering all of this was done by a single guy... it's fucking impressive. Multiclass to the max!
Might even pledge just because of that.

Square Enix has partnered with crowdfunding site Indiegogo to launch its "Collective" initiative that will allow developers to submit game ideas to the publisher, users to vote on them, then the most popular pitches will gain support from Square Enix as they launch their Indiegogo campaigns.

So it has come to this!

Is it bad my first thought was "at least this is out in the open instead of secretly funding kickstarters to make it look like there is a fan base"?

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1637037674/lords-of-discord?ref=category

Lords of Discord is a turn-based strategy game set in a fictional fantasy world in which players control armies of mythical creatures.


Lords of Discord is a turn-based strategy game set in a fictional fantasy world, inhabited by two opposing races: Humans and Demons, as well as the odd goblin, orc, giant spider and other nefarious creatures. Lords of Discord has breathtaking gameplay, incredible graphics, hand drawn characters and a carefully detailed plot and in-game reality. Drawing inspiration from games like the Disciples and the Heroes of Might and Magic series.

Lords of Discord is a title made by strategy gamers, for strategy gamers.

Game features:

turn-based strategy gameplay
two playable races: Humans and Demons
two intertwined campaigns, 12 missions each
3D world, gorgeous graphics and high quality animated characters
3 types of landscape with terramorphing ability
3 types of hero
system of character development with around 30 units in each race
dozens of global spells for each race
engaging battle system
a huge number of usable items such as artefacts, potions, wands, etc.
hot-seat, online and play-by-mail multiplayer


If the game proves a success we are planning to add new races as free add-ons, while we already have a set list of races, which includes Undead, Dwarves, Elves and Orcs, we are interested to know which race you are keen to get first, leave a message on the page and we will include this in our decision.

We are planning to release the game in June, iOS is the first targeted platform and every two months we are planning to release for another OS from this list (Android, PC, Mac, Linux). Initially, there are two races in the game: Humans and Demons, each of them has a unique set of heroes, warriors and spells.

Still this might end up being a very interesting game.

Those glasses look like they could get pretty interesting if they can get it to work, and develop a good interface for tabletop gaming.
