If my name was Chris Avellone I'd totally get 1 million just by showing my nipples on Kickstarter.

Planetary Annihilation $1,800,000 stretch goal revealed: Galactic War http://www.kickstarter.com/projects...nihilation-a-next-generation-rts/posts/303555

It seems like that'd either play as a very dumbed down 4X type game, or merely just a huge campaign map where you battle someone for a system, win or lose, then move on to the next one. Can't understand the excitement over it.

It's all about dropping moons onto planets, duh.

I agree with almond, I have no interest in such a mode.

A strategy game about designing spaceships and managing a fleet of them. Already funded for the base game singleplayer game (13k/6k), but in stretch goals you've got multiplayer (16k) and a singleplayer campaign... With cutscenes and Randroid plot, at 26k.

MOTHER OF GOD! This is what I'm fucking talking about.

My pants...I need to change them...

*smokes afterglow cigarette*

Minor edit:

There is an Alpha available for download for Starship Corporation. It's supposed to show some of the Ship Design gameplay.

Oh and it's made by something called GameMaker, take that as you will.

Also featuring exclusive content for backers, in a multiplayer game.

So, basically a clone of FTL?

More like it's bigger brother

 

[Destroid]

While it certainly shares a lot with FTL (and FTL shares a lot with games that came before, like Weird Worlds), this game does look to have quite a different focus.

Hadn't seen it before, its interesting. Has more to do with widgets though then software (which will mostly be digital) the lesson for vidya games would be to be sensible with your physical rewards as it'll suck up way too much time.

Sounds like stoic had more work than expected in getting the reward gunk made and sent for Banner Saga.

Steampunk TBS that is inspired by X-COM. They're asking for $45K which is a very reasonable amount.

Hello Day One supporter,
Pendulo’s New Adventure: Day One did not reach its goal before the end of the fundraising period. We are sad about it, but happy that you have been onboard, supporting the project.
As a result, we would like to thank you for having supported
Day One until the end and would like to offer you the ability to download for free one game from the Pendulo catalogue available on our platform Gamesplanet.
You never know what the future holds for this project. The story is not over!

And I didn't even have to pay anything.

Have you guys noticed what t-shirt he's wearing? An interesting choice for pitching an old school style game.

 

[CappenVarra]

Pangenic is designed to give players a deep sense of pathos for every one of their characters and their experiences. In a broad way, Pangenic seeks to strip the spreadsheets and managerial aspects of X-Com and replace them with genuine, emergent, emotional content.

Oh fuck off already.
