I thought I'd just create a Kickstarter thread regarding the Video Games that are on the site. I'll make a list of the 'best' right here with a bit of information. Those that end earlier will be up top.

  • Armikrog - A clay and puppet point and click adventure game. Some call it The Neverhood's successor. | Goal: $900.000 | Ends: Jun 27th 2013
  • Double Fine's MASSIVE CHALICE - "A tactical strategy PC game on an epic fantasy timeline from the creators of Psychonauts, Brütal Legend, and Iron Brigade!" | Goal: $725.000 - REACHED | Ends: June 27th 2013
  • A Hat In Time - "A 3D collect-a-thon platformer in the spirit of the classic Nintendo 64 titles you know and love!" | Goal: $30.000 - REACHED | Ends: June 28th 2013
  • H-Hour: World's Elite - Tactical team-based military shooter in which cooperation among players is required for success. Third and first person available. Spiritual successor of SOCOM. | Goal: $200.000 | Ends: July 7th 2013
  • FRONTIERS - "Explore, Discover & Survive in a massive, relaxing open world that emulates the tone of classic first person RPGs." | Goal: $50.000 | Ends: July 17th 2013
  • Megatokyo Visual Novel Game - "Experience the unique perspectives of Piro, Largo, and other Megatokyo characters as you play them in an elaborate visual novel game." | Goal: $20.000 - REACHED | Ends: July 18th 2013
  • Dark Matter - "A modern, tense reimagining of classic platforming action games, with a deep storyline and tactical combat." It's at its core a modern descendant of Metroid. It's is a tough side scrolling action game where sometimes the best action is to know when to not attack, or when to lure an enemy into a mag-lock door, rather than rush into a room guns blazing. By the creators of Nuclear Dawn | Goal: £50.000 | Ends: July 28th 2013

If you think I missed something or you just want to promote your favorites / express your feelings, feel free to reply ;)!

I can't believe Armikrog hasn't been funded yet! 0_o

H-Hour is fucking stupid if you ask me. Not only do they restrict backing for virtually every reward teir, but their stretch goals include actually making the game we are backing them for. You guys are paying for a fucking demo they can take to publishers. If you're lucky they'll get funding. If you're even luckier, you'll get a game that's recognisable to what you backed. Can we just take all the funding H-Hour's getting and put it in Frontiers? Thanks, that'd be great.

Not to mention that in the trailer they say that they intend to first make the multiplayer, than work on the singleplayer while making multiplayer DLC.

Soul Saga looks interesting too.

I will buy A Hat in Time for sure when it comes out. I just love 3d platformers.

A Hat In Time was among the very first games I voted for in Steam Greenlight, so I'll probably back their Kickstarter project as well. I'll probably go for $15-tier to get the finished game. I have the money reserved but I'll probably wait a bit longer because I'm really not in a hurry. At the moment there are currently three projects running that I have backed:

Oooh way too scray game: I wasn't familiar with Cameron Kunzelman's games before I came across this project. I admit it looks pretty stupid and ugly but I gave it $1 just for the lulz. After playing Alpaca Run I upped my pledge and purchased the song from the composer's bandcamp. I'm curious what the game will turn out to be like. There's a stretch goal for mobile version but I don't think it'll be reached.

I backed Combat Cats because it looked like my girlfriend would love to play it. She absolutely adores cats, and the gameplay is quite similar to Zookeeper, which she played a lot on her phone. She actually backed herself too, which I think is some positive development because when I met her she wasn't into games at all. There's still five days to go, I hope they'll get enough money for at least couple of stretch goals. We'll see.

I don't think if I want to actually play Bag the Bully but I support the cause so decided to give them some money. It's going to be a free bullying awareness game which I hope will reach a lot of kids.
