Kickstarter Game Thread

[taggart6]

Just because when I last checked out the game a few months ago they hadn't really updated the site in months, there weren't any gameplay updates and the last video they had was from a year ago and labelled "pre-alpha" (which the new video is also labelled).

I watched the Kickstarter pitch video and I must say it is looking pretty nice now, but these guys aren't getting any of my money until they actually deliver a game.

No problem with the reservation. I can totally understand.

Kickstarter is not a sure thing so I encourage everyone to be cautious with anything they support. That said, the purpose of this thread is to just share some kickstarters that we think are interesting. It's okay for people to voice their opinion but lets makes sure not to get into any arguments.

Not saying that we will have any but just doing a job of trying to prevent anything before it starts.

Hopefully it comes out eventually. The premise looked interesting and we could use some more traditional dungeon crawlers. It was good that kama warned that the project has been in the works for years and could be dead-in-the-water.

I'm rooting for them, but not with my wallet at this point haha.

Well put. It looks great, but I'm hurting this month backing 3 big projects in one month LOL with nothing to show for it yet but some sweet wallpapers from Zpocalypse and access to some backer forums

However backing the projects that I have, has made me feel included in the process. Plus, my son is getting some insight into game development helping provide feedback in their forums and reading/watching development updates. That's been worth the price.

gotcha

[jahmeditation]

Got on this! But is it just me or is Kickstarter beginning to feel a lot like Steam's holiday sales?!

lmao pete, i was getting a humble bundle vibe



i love the concept no doubt, but i fear it will be flooded with to much filler within the next year or so, take the money and run type deal

[monroeski]

It's already flooded with too much filler IMO. New stuff pops up every day it seems that everybody is freaking out about.

All I've funded so far is Shadowrun because I'm a HUGE fan of the old Genesis game and the setting. I was thinking about funding Wasteland 2 even though I never played or heard of the first one but eventually I just let time run out. Probably going to throw some money at The Banner Saga before time is up there, but that's more or less it for now.

I'm hoping that when the Kickstarter bubble bursts it is still popular enough to be worth keeping up with.

You can still get in in wasteland for $20 on their website. I too am a HUGE fan of Genesis Shadowrun, the novels and the PnP RPG.

Not a game in itself, but what are your thoughts on this: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...y?ref=category

That is pretty cool and looks like a streamlined simpler version of maptools.

I like it!

Update for Z-pocalypse...my idea for the stretch goal K-Mini expansion has been decided on in their backer only poll. An expansion of Hospital and FEMA camp, with an escape route (new way to end game). They'll be putting it on their mainpage probably today. There is tons of value in this with additional miniatures having been added, 2 expansions, new weapon cards, and extra dice. Only a couple days left to pledge if you haven't yet.

I would love to jump on that but I know my friends wouldn't like the game.

So what Kickstarter stuff have you donated to?

[SewerUrchin]

Zombicide for $100. At this level, there are a ton of bonus things. (signed lithograph cover, the game, a t-shirt, 12 bonus custom dice - half are glow in the dark, some bonus minis including three exclusives and possibly more depending on how much they get pledged).

Zpocalypse for $75. The game, 8 custom dice, 5 wallpapers, custom dice tower, signed print, k-mini expansion and z-master expansion.

Shadowrun Returns for $15 for a digital copy of the game.

Wasteland 2 for $30 and that means: You will receive the digital concept art book, downloadable digital soundtrack, 2 DRM free digital copies of the game (PC or Mac or Linux), exclusive Ranger portrait collection, 4 episode video development blog, Chris Avellone novella, and unique and quirky skill.
