This looks interesting http://www.indiegogo.com/kenshi

Kenshi is not a new project by any measure: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?search/1667967/&q=Kenshi&o=date&c[title_only]=1
The Codex knew about it since late 2009. The guy developing it has been putting massive amounts of work into it ever since and he's shown a lot of perseverence, so I'm quite confident that the final version is going to turn out to be a good game.

Indiegogo site is awful. You click to the project and can't see anything til you scroll down.

If only that would be the only problem they have, the number of outright scams and absolutely retarded shit is overwhelming, by comparison Kickstarter is a beacon of honesty and well thought projects.

As of the latest news people will be thrilled to know that Echoes of Eternia got more that 40K$ and the yogcast guys more than half a million, Doc McNinja has been funded too.

And now , for something absolutely retarded:

Yeah the "fund anyway" type of funding makes the whole site a joke, may as well say :give me free monies". I'm surprised the kenshi one used that instead of kickstarter. Looks like they have an actual game of some kind (though I'm not sure what).

Because he's not an American citizen I think, theoretically only US citizens could make Kickstarter projects, even if it seems that Russians and Belorussians are included too.

Now might be a good time for any big time videogame kickstarter wannabe.
Doublefine, Wasteland, Shadowrun and Banner Saga are done. All that's left are (mostly) shitty jRPG and (mostly) cool looking board games.

If someone want to take a look at a technology project that delivered, however you will find many complaints from people that not received the product or a damaged one and other usual problems that come with on line purchases:

Speaking of Skyjacker, the guy's now put up a demo for people to try: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/digitilus/skyjacker/posts/221662

Demo weighs in at 1.2gb though.

The way I understand it, you need a US bank account for Kickstarter. Having a US bank account doesn't mean that you have to be a US citizen or live in the US though. The Legends of Eisenwald Belarussian guys may have went to the US on an internship or on a work-and-travel programme and opened an account when they were there, or they may just have a friend in the US who opened an account for them to use for this project. There may be even other hipotheses I haven't thought about, but the point is that, although it is more difficult, you can still start a Kickstarter project if you're not an US citizen and you don't live in the US.

Makes me wish I still had a joystick.

(Well I have a joystick, but it's very old and I don't have a game port anymore for it to slot into).

However... the first thing I noticed opening a box was the incredibly noxious smell that apparently was coming from the jute bag.

haven't used my Joulies much more since the first day... I don't really know why. It seems like quality enough of a product. But maybe since I have a thermos mug the Joulies just don't really ever seem all that necessary I guess? In any case, I think the reason why so many people in the comments here seem unsatisfied is that we all had to wait SO long before we got our Joulies... That kind of anticipation naturally leads to overblown expectations from the product which inevitably then leads to being let down. Nothing can live up to the dreams our minds can invent over six months!

 

[Ulminati]

USB joystick is about 9 bucks.

Problem is getting one that works well for left handed people. Joysticks are niche enough products these days that i'd have to track one down online. Even if I found one, I'd then have to pay exorbitant shipping rates. And I don't really play enough sims that require one (or any for that matter) to warrant the expense.

The ilounge picture of the pen rubber grips really looks quite bad. Just wondering why the pictures differ from the ones shown on the videos ...

Can I have a spare of rubber grip?
Maybe the rubber grip is consumable parts, it will be bad status before ink was empty for some people.

I got mine about 3 wks ago. And I can say that my cloudftp is just sitting on my bookshelf collecting dust right now. If you're using IOS devices this cloudftp is just working fine. But for android devices, this device is failed, doesn't work as it supposed to be. If you read again from "Project Home" descriptions, this cloudftp is dedicated for IOS/Android devices but in fact it's only for IOS. The most problematic is NO support from sanho if we got a problem and really slow to fix the update. And SDK/API which is promised to be opensource is still no sign to be shared.

LOL, someone still believes that iFaggotry is open source friendly.



http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jmcrae/b-squares-modular-solar-powered-electrics/comments

I haven't been abel to charge my iphone since I first got the B-squares. I paid and extra 25 dollars and it did absoulty nothing.. I've tried charging the battery in the sunlight a whole day, with that I even added a solar pannel on the side of the charger with the battery with no results. I don't even hold a charge enought to power the light. it only worked for a week and the light broke or the solar pannel broke. I'm gonig to swing with the solar pannel .. is there a chance I might be able to get a replacment on the solar panel?

Still curious, though I'm betting this is a dead forum, has anyone been able to charge an Android phone? I broke down and purchased another battery square, which theoretically ensures that the output (working in sequence with two) is powerful enough to charge my phone's battery. Still no luck on that end though.

Panzer Pets: Hmm turn-based MMO with a small party and movement: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gamundo/panzer-pets-customizable-robots-mmo?ref=recommended

While the current basic battle system is already quite interesting, we believe we should add some additional depth. At the moment, we are experimenting with a system which allows battles to take place directly in the game world, have players move their robots during battles and make terrain elevation and obstacles important in a tactical sense.
The way this works is best compared to a streamlined version of UFO: Enemy Unknown or the original Fallout, but with our game, battle scenes are randomly generated just like our dungeons.

From their page:

For every $5 you give to support Haunts: The Manse Macabre, you will receive a code good for downloading one copy of the game. You can (and are encouraged to) give away the extra codes to friends, to sell them to strangers, or print them out and frame them as a testament to your generosity and fine taste.
