^ give him $10k and he'll let you in here

Guy is a multi-millionaire who went into space but I might've punted him ten bucks for a kickstarted game, except the game tier is $40. Thousands of dollars for some entirely imaginary (un)real estate in a game which doesn't exist yet, if ever? I'll pass, thanks.

$10 + $30 tiers still open (and the $30 tier comes w/ digital copy of the game i think?)

i'm glad that golem game looks nowhere near meeting their goal

Lord British clearly doesn't need Kickstarter. $1MM is not close to enough to make that game. He's probably just on the bandwagon for marketing reasons, and because nobody objects to a million dollar loan at 0% interest.

Dude deserves it.

The more the happens the more it feels like, Pitchfork getting Pavement to play the full album of "Slanted and Enchanted" or something. Kickstarter is to videogame idols what the classic album concert is to indie rock band.

that video is hella creepy

Also why does he never seem to get called out on the FUCKING AWFULNESS of referring to himself as Lord British? If I decided to start calling myself Sherriff Clint American Jr I'd expect to be laughed off the Internet but nobody ever seems to have a problem with his whole embarrassing schtick.

that actually is kinda Suda 51's gimmick

Iolo & Lord British just shootin' the shit. Iolo actually makes crossbows, and he plays "Stones" on a real lute at around 17:00 in! Squee!

Skullgirls DLC got $400K funded and there's still 11 days to go.

Damn, videogamers have lots of disposable income.

this shit kinda has to stop at some point doesn't it?

is it too late to declare a vintage-game-revival-kickstarter bubble

^too early apparently

Why doesn't Ron Gilbert just figure out how much it would cost to do his version of Monkey Island 3 and do a kickstarter for that? It would be successful beyond belief.

Really that's the only thing i would have an immediate interest in funding.

i would shamefully contribute yes

doesn't telltale have the rights to that or something?

Disney currently own MI rights after buying LucasArts last year, so that is probably the end of that

Simian Archipelago IV: LeChook's Vengeance
^problem solved

of course on the plus side that means there's a possibility of disney world recreating the le chuck ride from m2 in fantasyland

as much as i love Monkey Island, i would much rather see new IP and characters these days

Skullgirls DLC funding ended with $829K

after the 1up website got canned recently the guys behind the (excellent) Retronauts podcast began a Kickstarter & reached their goal in 3 hours

Whoa, I'd kick money to that if Parish is on all the time

I (greatly) prefer Parish in text form only. But, I kind of want to support Ray Barnholt who had that great 1up soundtrack podcast.

early trailer for a game currently being developed by one man, Lionel Gallat, who worked in film for 15 years animating the likes of "Shark Tale", "Despicable Me" etc. like a Disney Demons Souls!

Al Lowe is coming out of retirement to make Leisure Suit Larry games again

he was doing that like three years ago!

it's a quote from the first post in this thread

xps lol @ scott kurtz being involved

then again i guess it makes sense as TenNapel outed himself as a conservative crank iirc

ah, well yes.

Yeah, TenNapel is one of those guys whose personal opinions are absolutely something you never ever want to get near. Games are great, but everything else.....bleah.

i had to share my pain; once you see that stuff you can't unsee it

no idea about any of that but i fukken loved the neverhood

And they made a sequel! On the ps1, I think

Double Fine going back to the well (for an entirely different project)

tbh I totally want the game that I imagine it will be, but considering the ship date is a year and a half from now and it'll reach its goal through the efforts of Other People I don't know that it's worth backing…especially since I've not been digging into the backer-exclusive Double Fine Adventure updates at all.

man, this looks like the sort of thing i would drop three bills on and then have a hard time figuring out where to put after the first month.

Even thinking about playing Skyrim on that thing is tiring me out. All that running...

As a promo event for their latest Kickstarter, the DoubleFine guys are streaming a Small World(the board game) session, with a thinner Tim Schafer, Brad Muir, and Chris Remo(from Idle Thumbs)

the Kickstarted Shadowrun Returns is out on Steam.

And here's what happened when a dude canceled his project that was fully funded:

turns out I met this dude.

and here's from one of the artists stiffed:

my first reaction was "man, so shameless" but after watching the video and reading the page it's well done... may back this one. no doubt it will be huge by the time it's all said and done (2 days and it's already 55% of the $900k)

One of the most well-done kickstarter proposals i've seen.
