KickStarter Kickstarter Watch.

Search of the thread returns nothing, is it possible?

The most Codexian P&P Kickstarter codenamed "Achtung! Cthulhu" (A terrifying World War Two setting for the Call of Cthulhu & Savage Worlds roleplaying games. The Secret War has begun!) is funded and well on the way with stretch goals...

Kinda cool even if not game related:

It's a pen that can draw in the air! 3Doodler is the 3D printing pen you can hold in your hand. Lift your imagination off the page!

I don't see much advantage over plasticine.

For those that missed Monte Cook's Numenera Kickstarter, the guy is accepting preorders, for a limited time, on his website.

Not sure if this one has been mentioned before...

[kaizoku]

both of these are puzzle/platformers type of thing

I have doubts they will amount to anything fun to play. Nonetheless..

That looks kind of interesting but that interface does not bode well...looks way too iOS for me...

 

[kaizoku]

IIRC it's for mobile only.
Not a bad thing per se, one needs to have a decent game to play on a smartphone anyway.


sup dawg,
I heard you like riots,
so we made Riot,
so that you play Riot while on a riot.

How in the fuck do you see ALL video game kickstarters (as in all open ones)? When you select video games you can only select Staff Picks, Popular this week etc? Am I Just stupid?

I think if you click see more for each of the categories, all the current projects will be listed, but they'll be sorted differently. The page also loads dynamically (you have to scroll down to load more) which is annoying.

I complained about the same thing recently. Navigating the KS site is tedious.

This!

Selecting "Popular this week" will give you all active projects in the selected category (just as selecting "Most funded" will give you all the successful projects in the selected category) sorted according to the name of the link, i.e. popularity and funding success respectively. "Staff Picks" and "Recently Successfully Funded" don't work like that though, for obvious reasons.

I complained about the same thing recently. Navigating the KS site is tedious.

There's no that much tedious about it once you understand how it works. I find the fact that the page loads dynamically more and more projects stupid, or the fact that they don't send you anymore the updates of the projects you starred but haven't pledged to, or the fact that you can't sort your pledges list and starred list according to your preference limiting and annoying, but that's a different story.

I noticed in the game play portion of the video that the player character used some sort of deflection spell/mechanic to deflect arrows. Is that the only means of offense/defense or will there be more options in the future? Only asking because I didn't see the classic sword-and-board combo a la The Legend of Zelda :D.

That deflection / shield is the basic attack (so, I guess the basic sword swing in another game). It is short range, and pushes enemies back, and persists a second to continue shielding. No energy cost, so you can use it as much as you want.

You can hold down the attack for a moment to charge it into a more focused, longer range and higher damage attack. This uses energy , so isn't something you can just run around pew pewing with (since, your energy and health are from a single bar...the more energy you use, the weaker you get).

((so, up to here, one button handles a lot of functionality and options)

Besides that, there is a pool of 2ndary attacks which you can ready (and these have a wide range of abilities, from absorbing abilities to bending trajectories to placing stationary walls or jumping ahead). Basically, depends how a person wants to play and what they are fighting against.

And then there are a few other key combat mechanics (like "the bridge", which lets you jump in and out of an overlapped world, or points on the field which gives you bonus for staying near it...adding on another level of choice during combat, try to stay in one area and make it difficult to dodge or use close range lower cost abilities? Or stay on the bonus and try to make that work?).

So, combat is real time (obviously ~_~), and will require thoughtful approach. You can use some of the stronger offensive abilities, but the stronger their effect...the more draining they are on you... so it makes you consider more carefully what you do (as apposed to a "spam my strongest stuffz!!!" approach).

And, you might have noticed a lot of these abilities lend themselves to puzzles ....so... yea, there will be puzzles (but I don't want to bonk people over the head with them, so it will be less "YOU MUST SOLVE THIS PUZZLE" , and more just optional challenges you run into during the game ...at least for the most challenging ones).

That is probably a long response but, yea, not really zelda ~_~ Except for the old man in the cave, there will be old men in caves.

Net Gain. A Cyberpunk strategy game:

"In Net Gain, the player takes on the role of a corporate broker, hired by a powerful conglomerate to sabotage their competitors by any means. You’re in charge of investigating targets, planning missions, assembling teams, and leading the operation to success. All in a world that’s rapidly changing every day…"

The "get the game" tier may be a bit high for some people ($20), but it has relatively cheap tiers of the "add your own content" type.
