What do you think about highlighting differently the hardware and software "most funded list" projects, like you did in the "board game vs. video game" case?
Done, I used violet.
You missed the "top 10 list" in the OP.

Edit:
In the big list, I think you can highlight as gaming hardware:
#189. $00,135,003 Ringbow - Next Generation Gaming Accessory

It's not exclusively for gaming, but it's a nifty little peripheral. I think it also has a lot of potential for mobile gaming.

Blackspace - physics based planetary simulation RTS http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1035580424/blackspace-plan-dig-defend-survive
The vibe I'm getting is that they're trying to do something like a realistic version of Planetary Annihilation.
The development team's experience:

"Working together for the past 7 years, Jerry Phaneuf and Volga Aksoy have contributed to award-winning AAA games, including EA Sports MMA, Madden NFL Franchises, NASCAR Franchises, Tiger Woods PGA Tour franchises, and more."

You know, they left EA and now they're working on a really incline game. If you can't get over where they worked and focus on what they're working now, then you would have to exclude large swathes of games currently in development. With attitudes like this, you're more:decline: than they are. They actually are :incline:, unlike you.

made is a BRO and brings us the news that the sequel to Nexus: The Jupiter Incident was just launched on KS:

Codex thread: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/nexus-2-kickstarer-is-live.76483/
KS page: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mostwanted/nexus-2-the-gods-awaken

They're asking for $650k, which may be their undoing. They even acknowledge this on their KS page.
It has been already added, if you notice I brofisted Made when he started the thread.
Rudimentary BattleZone in space. I'm sold :P

Edit:
They want to license an engine. Shitty planning.
Practically half of their budget is required for that license.

I... I... I just came.
:bounce:

Yeah, I know what you mean. Chances are it will go the way of TorchShips and Ground Branch, indeed.
:x

Still, TorchShips had very little to actually show. This one here looks like it at least has a lot of content ready (placeholder my ass) and I really dig the style.

This. They should have gone with polished version of whatever they were using the last time. It did pretty much all that is needed in a space RTS.

Shit this looks good. I hope it gets funded, it would be a pity if it wasn't. Damn, all the have to do is spread the word. I'm sure this looks great even to retards...

Sooo I never thought seeing Nexus 2 again on kickstarter. Yet here it is Nexus 2: The Gods Awaken looks good, but not sure about the back story.
A resurrection of a sequel to the much über space RTS Nexus: The Jupter Incident went Kickstarter with a rather ambitious goal of $650k.:incline:

Interesting case described in the comments on this kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects...ad-accessory-use-the-ipad-hands-free/comments

Man kickstarts an iPad stand, squanders the money and fails to deliver anything.
Judge rules man is personally liable for the collected money since he had siphoned some of it for his private spending, man required to refund money to pledgers.

Reapa, better make sure you spend all that collected money on building the castle, no early retirement for you! :smug:

All right, I am going on hiatus for an unspecified amount of time, if by the first of November I hadn't post anything consider this my last post on the Codex.

The Union of Codex does not look favorably on those who leave her behind comrade Kz3r0, even a great man can become a traitor. Remember that.
