ILG Kickstarter Gaming HQ

Star Citizen, born on Kickstarter, passed $40 million in funding pledges today.

I've never played Shaq-Fu, but it's always had a massive amount of hate directed to it. Seems like it was released too late (fighting games being kinda old post-MK2) and also ahead of its time, like it was already the kind of game that could get funded on Kickstarter.

Also it starred Shaq as a kung fu master

that sounds pretty cool

yeah, definitely. much more interesting to me than dear esther or gone home

hey who would have guessed that giving half a million dollars to some Youtube "celebrities" to fund their own Minecraft ripoff would be a bad idea? certainly not the 5 people who backed at the $10,000 level!

heh - they literally took the character drawings from 19th century cartoons

i'm still pretty excited for this

kinda sorta too, but expectations lowered a bit

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/midgarstudio/edge-of-eternity-pc-mac-linux-ps4-xbox-one

Pillars of Eternity is live!

or will be tomorrow.

you bastard, getting my hopes up

well i thought i had it! I'm preloading on steam now and i recommend you do.

maybe we should start a new thread for this

i haven't been this excited about a release since fallout 3

I would be more into it if i hadn't just ordered bloodborne, but yeah
Pillars of Eternity: Obsidian's Kickstarter RPG

xp yeah, good point. i went to the backer portal and got my steam key

Oh look, you can pre-load it, too.

Thought I'd be able to roll a character before work but it's not unlocked yet.

Yeah, having the character creator as an early demo plaything would have been a neat advance promotional item

i... don't have the 18 gigs free to install... need to delete a lot of stuff.

That was odd because it told me I'd need 18Gb but then once it was downloading it only pulled 6Gb. So either there's more to come once it unlocks, or that initial 18Gb estimate is wrong.

from the PC Gamer Review:

Almost an hour had passed, and I was still on the character creation screen. That s how I knew, before I d even started, that this homage to classic computer role-playing games like Baldur s Gate, Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment was authentic.

Little Devil Inside:

"Little devil inside is a story about a college professor who investigates paranormal activities. With you! "

This game looks doooooope, and just got Greenlit.

I dig the cheery little tophatted cyclops dude backpacking his way thru the wilderness.

that does look pretty cool

8 hrs to go on Bloodstained

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ysnet/shenmue-3

$3.3M USD with 27 days left to go.

Coming for Ps4 & PC.

Curious how much Sony will kick in for completion given the fact that this met its (pre-sales) goal the day it was announced.

Considering the first game cost $47 million to make...

I mentioned in the E3 thread that a lot of the stuff in the first game had to be made from scratch, but all of that is included in modern, off-the-shelf game engines.

And oh man they should break out Ryo's original character model, just for kicks

the majority of funding for this game will assuredly not be from the kickstarter

These guys seem like the four guys who could pull it off

Justin Bailey has launched Fig, a new crowdfunding site built specifically for games. The former chief operating officer of developer Double Fine partnered with some big names and studios who previously had success on Kickstarter, specifically his old colleague, Tim Schafer (The Broken Age), Brian Fargo of InXile (Wasteland 2), and Feargus Urquhart of Obsidian (Pillars of Eternity). Each has pledged to launch campaigns for new games on Fig.

Fig also stands out from other crowdfunding sites in that you buy equity in a game or developer, meaning you can actually make money from a successful project...

Also, Justin Bailey is actually a real name?!

bound to succeed, born a cheat code

so that's where Masi Oka went!

Mostly notable for the high amount they're asking for...
