For new crowdfund projects, please refer to the latest in the comment section!
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!

Quern - Undying Thoughts
"Explore the island of Quern and reveal the secrets of its past and present in this first-person puzzle adventure inspired by Myst!" It looks fantastic!

OK Uroboros Ill try to be more informative, you have left Portalnauts and Severed World, probably those are The Also Rans?
Light Fall and Oak Island ended their campaigns, both got funded.
Also Quern wasnt submitted by me, adam1224 did that, I get it for that mistake since im the one who submit KS games the most now.
Im surprised that there are many good KS campaigns now, KS is certainly not dead as i thought

Hero-U is coming down to the wire and needs more backers. Perhaps if we could just get the word out, they might get enough funding to put them over the top. As it is, the last-minute push might fall just short of their goal, leaving them with nothing.

Perhaps consider making a new thread just for that kickstarter? It might not have as much global appeal as other projects, but it's the most surefire way to get more attention for it. This thread tends to act like an index that few people ever look into, perhaps because of the sheer number of projects it gets or the amount of description text involved. Or perhaps a lack of conversation to generate bumps.

They're all on the list except Aberford. I'll check that out in a moment.
See this is why I worry about accepting all suggestions, it can turn the thread header into a wall of text that people never want to read. x)

I did not expect that you'd had listed all of them.

Haha, nah. It's other users that tend to scout the kickstarters. I just sniff for little details and then list them!
I can't seem to find the Aberford project though.

Aha, looks like they're playing it careful and expanding the basic assets before they try a kickstarter. It always helps to have content to show before you try to crowdfund.

Oh WOW. I seriously thought that was some kind of joke initially but... whoa.

You might want to make a separate thread for this kickstarter too, I'm sure there are folks who refuse to read this thread due to how cluttered the main post is, but who would be interested in the project.

Thanks!

While I know all of our wallets are exhausted due to the steam sales, I'm just giving this a little bump to remind you that Yooka Laylee has been funded and they're temporarily allowing paypal backers through their kickstarter page. If you wanted in, this might be your last chance at the launch discount!

None of these really appeal to me, though ReNoir certainly seems polished, and the voice acting seems good. Still, added.

I have 13 games backed on kickstarter so far. The Lost Pisces looked interesting at first until it said Kinect. After that, they lost my interest. I will not put up with frivolous console stuff like a Kinect, a device that Microsoft has already removed as a standard from their xbox1 package.

The Kinect aspect isn't necessary, it plays fine without it on the PC.

The only thing that distinguishes this game from any other eye candy ridden game is the Kinect feature, so that's why I'm not interested.

Then why did it look interesting to you until it mentioned Kinect, if there was nothing else there? :3c
Consider that when you remove the lure of novelty, 'eye candy' is often the only remaining draw until more details of gameplay are given. Ico, for instance, had little but eye candy and a premise to go on.

The main draw for me (and for a sizeable amount of others) is that the game is supposed to be an emotional journey, and focuses on the bond of the titular character and the player's character. I mean, not to say that your lack of enthusiasm for the project is 'wrong' or anything. Tastes always vary and the ability for the developers to make good on their own ambitions is a very real issue, I just thought the logical thread was a bit wobbly is all.

The project didn't fully appeal to me in the first place, then Kinect was mentioned, which made it less appealing. And as I have enough kickstarter projects backed atm. I'm only looking at projects that I have a true feel for. Some of the one's you mention I already support: Bard's Tale IV (played the original), We Happy Few. Closed Kickstarters: Through the Woods, Perception, Underworld Ascendant, Tokyo Dark, to name a few.

I had a quick wander through the gaming kickstarters and couldn't find the one you mentioned (though my connection is wobbly at the moment).

Rather than dropping them all in one go, you could just make a series of posts and I'll update as they come. After all, it would be extra time/exposure for the kickstarters.

Oh cool. Chime was a pretty nice semi-chillout kind of game, good to see a second coming. Thanks for the suggestion!

Just a little bump to give notice : Final Breath was both cancelled and immediately re-launched, due to a change of gameplan and lowering of their target funding goal. Apparently they received a console dev kit, which cut the costs on top of deciding to release the game in a series of episodes, which would lower the initial cost. Backers get all the episodes, naturally.

The pre-order tier is still only $4 AUD~

One Dreamer was funded, literally in the last 4 hours of the campaign.
Space Foodtruck was unfunded. will arrive on Steam Early Access
