From the dude that did the successful RETROVIRUS kickstarter (which I backed), a new comic from him and another person. Not really my thing obviously, but others might like this.

seems a bit like paying for porn... but I approve nonetheless
Oh great, Solenttar and Arsemagicka are both failing. Looks like I'll have my first KS's that won't go through.
Yeah I'm a bit sad that Solenttar is not making it. And they are not asking for much ffs.

Oversaturation I guess. With so much JRPG RPG-Maker crap on KS this is the result. Still a shame. Fuck, I wish I could cast downvotes on KS sometimes.

The projects that will, most likely, fail and that I hate to see failing are part of the new British wave:
Maia (seems to me like it would have great potential) - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1438429768/maia
Sui Generis (the tech is AWESOME, so I don't give a flying fuck about the project lead being kind of a dick and the setting/story being cliche) - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1473965863/sui-generis
The Ship: Full Steam Ahead (the original The Ship is really cool and this would have been an improved The Ship with better graphics and a steampunk look. Too bad that the devs made a total hash of the KS campaign. It's one of the worst campaign of any of the projects that I've been following) - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/709089895/the-ship-full-steam-ahead
The idea that these will fail while Braben will get $2mil for his Elite vaporware is making me

Yeah, I ranted about it a couple of days ago, too. Sucks so much ass, especially Maia and SG. Fuck, the sooner Xenonauts are finished, the better.
I am afraid that the end of Xenonauts development coincides with the heat death of the universe.
If you think that Xenonauts is bad, WTF do you think about AoD? How about Grimoire, which is even worse (in all senses of the word) by entire orders of magnitude? However, unlike these two, Grimoire has no chance of becoming a good game even if, by some miracle, Cleve could get his shit together after a couple of decades or messing around.

All of the games are taking their sweet time. Your point is?

The point is that Xenonauts is not as bad as others. It's, actually, doing much better.
Do they actually have a working alien AI now?
That I don't know.

I thought I read somewhere that they re supposed to be done next year.
OK, now I read what I just wrote. Point taken. Crap.
My AI is already working.

That's made by Dr. Cat of Ultima fame. He was a furry before anybody knew what they were
Exodae - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2023838960/exodae-0 - Super Metroid/Mega-Man style platformer with 4-way co-op support.
Shit. Looks like a bunch of douches that just downloaded a engine, made that 5 sec demo using presets and now want 100k... they are just spoiled brats that want all their development time & license fees paid for without a single bit of effort.
Yeah, the $100,000 is, indeed, ludicrous. But, hey, not everybody has to make it.
The 100k is not as absurd as how entitled they act about it... seriously, how long did they took to put that 5 sec demo together? They don't say anything about how gameplay works, how many levels there are, release date, NOTHING! They just spend the whole video making retarded jokes and asking you to help make "this masterpiece" happen...
Fake Edit: I found it in Risks & Challenges:
Wow, just wow. Worked part time for 2 months, gibe 100k plox.

Could those images be any darker? But yeah, these guys basically have nothing but a vague idea and an engine and want people to just completely fund everything on blind faith. No thanks.
Check out http://levelsorlives.blogspot.com/ for an interesting Metroidvania. This guy already got his Kickstarter funding and think he only asked for $10,000 or less. You can still 'preorder' a copy for $10.
Not so fake edit: Correction, he only wanted $7,500: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/crystalcatacombs/the-crystal-catacombs
