Addded to Special Mention.
Here's a vid of their "uber-gore" tech.

It's like there's a Cleve of FPSs.
I pretty much loved the trailer, but then I thought it would be yet another multiplayer-focused shooter catering to people only versed in MOBAs and TF2. Then I saw it was single player. That's great, even though procedurally generated for a shooter still doesn't click me as well as a well designed map would, I guess.
Still, I'll have to back it. And the way the trailer is appearing everywhere makes me think they'll be funded.
And holy shit, people at Polygon are already offended by how the kid died.

OK, I made a thread for the game: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...ib-fest-fps-with-procedural-generation.96634/
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/elanlee/exploding-kittens funded within 30 seconds or something.
As long as they make a 20k$ stretch goal to make RPG game in Exploding Cats setting I'm content.

Since we're talking about some other games kickstarters , the Conan boardgame also seems to make quite a lot of money.

1. Board/Card games consistently did better than video games on Kickstarter.
2. He's the fucking Oatmeal guy. He's extremely popular and, to be fair, difficult to hate. Even if you are one of those people who hate popular things (i.e. RPGCodex members), you can still look back to times when he wasn't huge and have fond memories.

Speaking of the Exploding Kittens Kickstarter, it's always struck me as odd that people will pay extra money for a deck of cards that's been neutered to the extent where you can only play one kind of game with it. So you could get a cheap deck that allows you to play poker, gin, crazy eights, Egyptian rat screw, exploding kittens (if you look at the page, you'll see they used a standard deck to create the game) and thousands of other games. But there are still plenty of people who will pay extra money to buy a deck that will only let you play crazy eights (Uno), or a deck that will only let you play Egyptian rat screw (slamwich), or a deck that will only let you play exploding kittens (eh...exploding kittens).
The game itself seems pretty boring. Naturally you're going to use a defuse card whenever the opportunity arises, and probably the attack and skip cards as well (unless you know the next card isn't a kitten). The "peak at the top three cards" card will be pointless if you're playing with 4+ people. Maybe the relocate bomb card or cat cards will make it less mindless, but at the moment it seems pretty boring.

What do you get when you combine a point and click adventure with a shmup? Starr Mazer.

I would have backed that in seconds if that was only a good old school adventure game without the shooter crap...
Oh well.
