A JRPG centered around social interactions, comes with a demo:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modestarcade/alcarys-complex

Something about that art style turns me off. Please note, I am not some monocled artistic gentleman but good lawd those women did not look all that "feminine".

Let's not mention the fact that it looks like yet another RPG Maker game...
Game Maker :lol:
Oh well, now that we have a JRPG section I will add the most promising games.

I would like to include this one:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/797210197/do-you-remember-an-rpg-from-your-childhood?ref=live

An obviously inspired Earthbound jrpg. Allegedly it will have:

- Vast freedom of choice on main character customization
- Strategic turn based battle system
- NPC relationship management
- Quest based, multi-branching story structure
- Whacky, nostalgic minigames

It also includes a demo. After having tried it, I can say that it uses a (timed) day and night system, so it's possible to not to see all events in one go (although you can skip some of the sidequests if you want). Then, you also can decide how to improve your main character's stats after you level up. Lastly but not least, the game is isometric and the combat is turn-based. May be worth giving it a look, IMO.

Become a pick up artist with this videogame, this can potentially outdo Pebble:

A completely retarde pitch video:

This is golden:
I have fully conceptualized and designed an extremely fun Iphone/Ipod/Ipad game, but do not have the funds to have the application programmed, marketed, and released being a college student.

Rain a 2d top-down ARPG...where nothing of the damn game is shown in the opener video! :rage:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gentlemenstudios/rain-0

Well, they uploaded a gameplay video so it's not the usual blah,blah, but I don't see anything interesting either, I will ignore it for now.


I am not an expert in marketing but if you are trying to convince me to back your project I expect to see something tangible in the very first video that greets me. If I have to search for it, then no judengolds for you...

:rpgcodex:

(Using "you" in te general sense, by the way...)

My buddy just point it out to me, I raged at him for not telling me about it when it was still live! Surprised they only wanted $100k, it looks really good.

Don't worry, they went for the DLCs path of decline. So, I'm not really thrilled for backing them up.

Yeah I saw that they seem to mention an excessive amount of DLC.
