I'm not sure how many people this will appeal to, but I've decided to back Devil's Bluff, a videogame version of an old kid's game.

Oh cool, we listed this before. Good to see it re-launched! It's only $4000 off it's target so hopefully we'll see this one finished
Comment has been collapsed.
It got funded with not much time to spare. Nice <3
It's aiming for a full steam release by halloween, given they have the main game mostly in place and just have to add in the now-funded additional content.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, which is a crying shame because they had a really solid classic Mario 64 sort of feel going on :/

Not sure if Nightcry (formerly Project Scissors) was mentioned before.
While it's 100% funded now, I think it's definitely worth keeping an eye on the development since a lot of talents were involved in the past in cult classics such as Silent Hill and Clock Tower.

Oh yeah, we managed to catch that one. We can always use more non-jumpscare horror <3

For anyone that is a fan of Orcs Must Die, they are currently kickstarting a boardgame version of it. You can get the 2 Steam games with pledge.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have it up in a moment. A little late on into the campaign so the chances are slim, but at least we know to look out for it next time (if it doesn't get funded this time around).

Thanks for the suggestions, but some of those are so close to the end and so far from their targets that I culled them.

Great catch. There is no in-game footage yet, but given the people behind it (and the promise of investors if they can get enough interest) means the odds are probably in it's favour. Already funded, so it's all downhill from there! :D

I backed a nice looking adventure game called The Mystery of Oak Island. They got 50% in 24h. I hope they will make it.

Cool. It's rare we ever catch things that early. It doesn't seem to offer anything particularly new, but it does seem well on it's way and pretty polished. Definitely added!

ehh, could've used an early bird for umbra. looks like I am gonna wait.

Tokyo Dark was already on the list, but I've slipped TtW up there too.
I do worry about the location of a forest tempting them to 'easy tension' with no payout, but if they're as enthusiastic about the horror genre as they say they are, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Plus after people pledge they can try the alpha. Just a bit weird they don't make that little demo section public...
Comment has been collapsed.
We have plenty of those already, but the ARMA / OF leanings seem pretty interesting. Especially the deployable outpost things.
Added, and thanks for the suggestion!

Hero-U Adventure Role-Playing Game looks like a nice enough adventure role-playing game.
Comment has been collapsed.
The trailer isn't very appretising. Looks like a generic adventure RPG without anything else to go on.
Taking a quick sniff around it seems it has already been funded once in the past, too. With the benefit of the doubt and a footnote of warning, added!

Perception
Night City Assault
On a Roll
Light Fall
Luman
Planet Centauri
Defragmented

These are worth mentioning currently,I would add Power Drive 2000 but its ending in 4 days.

I pledged to Perception,Light Fall,On a Roll, Combat Core and Dimension Drive.
You dont have to add games that you dont like, I just mentioned some worthy projects.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's all good. Just a lot of work to go digging through each of the projects, checking out their vital points / worrisome factors, and write up the brief descriptions. Without a description, most people would glaze over the projects we highlight in this thread, but it can get pretty time consuming and I don't like to cop out with "do your own research". xP
Comment has been collapsed.
Luman and Defragmented looks really interesting. I might back them after I get my refund from nuuvem
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't see any appeal in Luman. Have I missed something? It's just a guy running around jumping platforms and dying if his helmet is impacted? Nothing else? :s
Defragmented has a great look and soundtrack but the pitch video really lacked any substance. The game they make could pretty much turn out like anything from the information they gave.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just updated it again.
In future, when you suggest games to be added to the list, could you please include a short description of what the game is (genre, theme) and why it stands out to you? Simply being polished, having cool visuals and stuff like that are all valid, it just helps me with some counterpoint if I have a different opinion, plus it means I don't have to dig through whole campaign pages when a whole bunch get submitted. Try to consider any risks or game mechanics that might sway people or make/break the pledge. Thanks as always for your input!

The Eyes of Ara
An immersive Puzzle-Adventure game inspired by classics like Myst and modern exploration-based storytelling like Tomb Raider. The Eyes of Ara is an immersive, fully 3D Puzzle-Adventure Game, inspired by genre classics such as Myst. Explore a remote abandoned castle, solve devious puzzles, and discover lost secrets to uncover a long forgotten mystery.
+Very Myst-like game, I love adventures
+Good graphics
+Partially nonlinear as you can choose between more puzzles to do
+Good way to have a story by finding pieces of what happened in the puzzle rooms,you have to get those all together by yourself
+Bonus rooms, game doesnt end with the main story
TGL: ThanksGiving LIFE
TGL is a Open World Practical Life Tycoon & GOD simulation game in which a user acts as a god of the imaginary world and realizes dreams and desires of A.I. characters believing they are human beings.
+Unique idea kickstarter wise, great potential
+Looks good, weather is a nice addition
+Time that goes even when you close the game,making it more realistic
+You can control the things around the character like cars even throw pianos in front of your char
+Sleep Induction
-How much will it be limited for the player?
Shape of the World
Shape of the World is an ephemeral first-person exploration game where the world grows around you in a procedurally populated environment. It builds on the ideas of experiential games like Proteus and Flower where points and combat don’t enter the equation. An evolving world that grows with each step and hints at distant landmarks encourages the player to explore, offering a unique unfolding experience for those seeking an alternative to quest-driven adventure games.
+Great art style and exploration is the big part here which I like
-It could get very boring fast, unless they make a big world but with that goal I think they can

The Bard's Tale IV Kickstarter is now UP!
Those of you who played the Bar'd Tale games back in the 80's will know what this is about. Brian Fargo & Crew are rebooting the series with the first, true sequel to the original trilogy. Sign me up! D
Comment has been collapsed.
Huh. Another interesting project. These guys are starting to make quite a name for themselves with their kickstarters.
Comment has been collapsed.
I really hope Perception will meet its goal, looks the most promising for me from all these. Yooka-Laylee should be a no brainer, I actually went for a boxed copy... And Bard's Tale 4 bundled with Tides? Yeah, I'll take that.
My wallet hates me this month.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm pretty sure it will. It's got a solid 22 days left and it's over halfway there.
Do we actually get to pick what game we get for backing in the first 24 hours? Because I couldn't find anywhere that said that, just that you get a copy of Torment, Witcher 1 or Witcher 2, but no indication of actually picking the game. It could be a random game-key lottery.
Comment has been collapsed.
You get to pick as far as I can tell from Witcher, Witcher 2 or Wasteland 2 as the games if you are in the first 24 hours. The tier with wasteland 2 on it would theoretically give you 2 copies of Wasteland 2 and 1 Copy of Bard's Tale if you so chose that.
I am in on the $20 but I keep debating if I want the one with Torment as well. Hoping it's an addon personally but I doubt it lol.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ooh right, I was mixing up the 24 hour thing with the $55 Torment tier.
Still, the 24-hour offer doesn't say you can specify which game you want, does it? People keep saying you can pick but I see no such wording, just that you get one of three games (W1, W2 or Wasteland2).
Comment has been collapsed.
It doesn't explicitly say that, but it is implied. The way they talk about wanting to get Wasteland 2, their Kickstarted game, out there to people interested in this Kickstarter makes me think it will be a choice.
Either way, I'd pay $20 for this Bard's Tale game so I am ok with it. Worst case, I have another giveaway to make here.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, but it just seemed a little odd given the first two witcher games have been given away for free before, as well as having been on some pretty strong sales, whereas Wasteland 2 hasn't. Without that explicitness I just wanted to slip some caution in before people potentially got bitten. The choice is always nice, but when it comes to kickstarter it always pays to be a little on-guard I suppose.
Comment has been collapsed.
Would it be ok to write about a movie's Kickstarter in the comments? They've got half of their $10,000 goal with 6 days left. It's a feature length horror film that will be shot entirely in my town.

You can discuss whatever you want in the comments! This thread normally sinks way off the front page until it gets bumped with new kickstarters. Any conversation keeps it in view for people to see, so it's a win/win. \:3/
Got a link to the kickstarter you mentioned? Maybe give it it's own thread?
Comment has been collapsed.
Cool, thanks a lot. It's a dark comedy about a group of cultists and a sinister girl's association with them. It's called Grace's Room, the makers of it also have a successful Kickstarter under their belt for a film called River City Panic. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1288101369/graces-room
I made a thread here to promote RPC and the Kickstarter, it didn't get too much attention but there's been a decent bump in the amount of views the trailer got that I think came from the giveaways I've been doing. http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/4Wzpr/i-was-involved-with-an-independent-feature-length-film-river-city-panic-giveaways

Steamroll
Steamroll is a puzzle and strategy game with a touch of arcade action and adventure. We like to say it takes elements from Portal, from the classic Marble Madness and from minigolf games. It creates a steam-punk atmosphere where you will have to solve puzzles by designing and shooting Steamballs from your vehicle to create ramps, walls, activate triggers, blow things away, and more.
Graphics are amazing plus its very unique
Also Night City campaign has been cancelled.

Neptune Flux is a deep sea adventure game that takes place in the near future. You take on the role of an employee working for a dystopian corporation called A.Q.U.A. carrying out their oceanic operations. As you explore the open ocean you'll discover supernatural wreck sites, ancient artifacts, lost treasure, and dark secrets. Neptune Flux is inspired by games like Myst, Minecraft, Fallout, and classic Lucas Arts point-and-click adventures. If you like story-driven exploration, this game is for you.
Severed World is a 2D Massively Multiplayer RPG, planned for a release on Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile devices.

The Twist? You can choose to be reincarnated in that monster that just killed you a few seconds ago!
Song of Horror is a story-driven third person survival horror combining an inspiration in the old school classics with modern design and visuals, evocative of mankind’s eternal fear of what cannot be understood. Take control of up to 16 characters who have been plunged, throughout time, into a nightmare for which they are not prepared.
We Happy Few is the tale of a plucky bunch of slightly terrible people trying to escape from a lifetime of cheerful delusion. Set in a drug-fuelled, retro-futuristic city in an alternative history 1964 England, you’ll have to blend in with its other citizens, who don’t take kindly to people who don’t abide by their not-so-normal rules.
It’s a first-person game, set in a procedurally generated, fully 3D city that you must escape before society collapses around you. But, like any good roguelike, you’re probably going to die a few times before you figure out how it all works.
You will need to learn how to conform and avoid suspicion. You will need to hunt for supplies, and craft the devices and weapons that enable you to make it out of town alive. What do the Wellies approve of you doing? What makes them suspicious? What turns them into a homicidal mob? And is there anyone here who can help you?
The Lost Pisces is an indie sci-fi video-game that re-imagines the Little Mermaid, with an emphasis on KINECT-based AI enhancements.The Lost Pisces is a new path to gameplay. At a top level the game will play like a third person adventure style game. We blur the line of strategy, open world exploration, and elements of a FPS. But the core essence of The Lost Pisces gameplay is around building a relationship with Pisces, using our Emotional AI concept. Pisces will act as a compass to the gamer, and through your interactions you will shape her perception. It is her perception of you that is the core game mechanic to our story.

The Lost Pisces.
Well, they have my support. This is just a drop in the ocean, but still. Thumbs up.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the suggestions yet again!
But please, if you could write a brief description or analysis of the kickstarters with the links, it would be much appreciated. As I said before, it's more so people know what the game is about, what it looks like, and any particular features, risks and so forth. Copy-pasting the descriptions the devs are using often leaves out a lot of important details and means I have to dig through each link to try pick anything out, and it gets pretty time consuming when a list like this is posted. I would still probably look either way, but watching the pitch videos on my wobbly connection and having to flip through for various highlights. Thanks!
Also, I think I'll hold you personally responsible for my wallet haemorrhaging money today. |3

The thread opener is currently in 'zombie mode' and almost never updates, sorry!
This thread is for currently running videogame crowdfund projects, because nothing sucks more than hearing of a game AFTER it finished funding, when you missed the bonus goodies and discounts. Feel free to discuss anything related to keep the thread bumped so that your favourite projects get more exposure! Suggest any projects you think deserve a mention. The post-crowdfund thread has been retired due to the sheer size, sorry!
