Check this out. It's a pretty impressive looking sandbox space game containing RTS and RPG elements, and what's even more impressive is it's made by one 20-year old guy.

(edit: meant to say 'containing', not 'combining')

Damn. Hope the game's half as impressive as his campaign (it won't be)

First video I've seen where seeing the author talk doesn't piss me off. Will probably pledge.

Guy seems like a bro, instead of the usual holier-than-thou indie retards... I'm not a fan of procedural generated things, they never give that memmorable feeling that great hand-designed things have, but was a smart way for this guy to get his game going.

Regarding 8 bit Funding, it seems that it's no longer being updated and there's a box that opens up that asks you if you want to go to the Indie Gamestand site instead. In short, 8 bit Funding be dead.

Another space sim. So much for the "dead" genre :) http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/maksw/dominion-episode-1?ref=category . This one confirmed to be utter shit however
Episode 1 sets out to deliver the game-client, and thereby the fundamental building blocks with an MMO in mind - which is the intention for Episode 2. We're building Ep1 as if it were an MMO.

Also features the idea of crowd-development. People send them art and they put it into the game somewhere. So, live long and Prosper.

I had another look at this. I dunno. He'll make the money and all, and I'm sure the thing will be splendid technologically, but... I just can't bring myself to believe that he'll actually make a good game out of this, that's just too fucken much for one person, I wish it was possible but...anyway, best of luck to him, the pitch is very solid (hey Guido) and he deserves the cash.

I already knew it but I left the link just in case someone wants to take a look at the projects hosted there.

Was anybody wondering about how it would be for Peter Molyneaux to do a KS pitch? Here he is: Project GODUS - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/22cans/project-godus - "GODUS is a delightful reinvention of the god game from 22cans and Peter Molyneux, who created the genre." - funding goal: £450,000 ($720,000)

This is going to generate some MAJESTIC bitching, butthurt and fanboy circlejerking. Bring it on Pete!

The chick is hot, smart move on their side to put her in the video, but the game looks like worse then golden axe, seriously...

Why is she holding all those apples?

Where do I go to find these hot women that find guys like that acceptable?

To attract a woman like that you must build a special house in the forest.

That GODUS think looks well-presented and will probably get funded, they name dropping Populous, people still know that game these days ? Awaiting Codexian thread on this.

That's up already and almost past page 2: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...-brings-us-project-godus-on-kickstarter.78144

Edit: It's also worth mentioning that Burning Bridges started a Maia thread: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...me-with-70s-aesthetic-only-6-days-left.78160/
