The thread for pimping Kickstarters.

That part wasn't in the demo, so I can't say.

I do know that the premise is that Iya is transported from a real-world setting to this strange fantasy world that's the basic setting for the game. Bunny Guy is from the real-world setting, by the looks of it.

Tangiers - a very interesting surrealist stealth game.

It's supposed to reach the goal of 35,000 pounds in only four days, and has reached 33,645 by now. Don't let it fail!

Keiji Inafune stops fucking around, introduces Mighty No. 9.

glennmagusharvey · 2013-09-01 04:51:59

Hoooooooooly shit, is there anything about that game that has any pretense that it is not Mega Man?

...even the trailer...heck, Inafking himself, is chock full of references.

...not that that's a bad thing, of course.

Monsoon · 2013-09-01 10:54:36

Yup. Just threw $60 at it. Easiest stupid decision I've made all week.

707ruz · 2013-09-01 11:38:50

^ You and I have varying definitions of stupid.

glennmagusharvey · 2013-09-01 11:59:07

Hmm...$40 for a game and the soundtrack. I will have to think hard about this.

@Monsoon just showed me this: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1236620800/shantae-half-genie-hero

Yes, that's right, a third Shantae game.

Let it be known that once Zeboyd Games' KickStarter page for Cosmic Star Heroine launches, I will pimp the bejeezus out of it.

Deathmole

Less than three days left. Their music is AWESOME though

Monsoon · 2013-10-01 13:24:36

Cosmic Star Heroine

My favorite indie studio's new RPG. Commence bejeezus-pimping.

5 hours to BACK THIS SICK FILTH

Yes, that's right, a third Shantae game.

The money actually goes to fund the fourth game in the series; first there was the original Shantae, then Risky's Revenge, the upcoming game in the series will be called Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, and then finally after that will be Shantae: Half-Genie Hero.

I've been thinking about donating via PayPal, although at this point I don't know if it'd do any good, even if there is a big deluge of donations in the next few days. The game is funded, as is the first stretch goal (which lets you play as Risky Boots), but the second stretch goal that would add an additional chapter to the game still needs to be met.

EDIT: Actually, I might be very wrong about it being too late to make a difference by donating.

See, they need to reach 600k in order to fund the added chapter (btw, the more chapters the game ends up with, the more different animals and mythical creatures Shantae will be able to transform into).

Yesterday when I looked they were around 530k and I thought "Seventy thousand dollars in three days, at the rate they've been going? Nah, probably not gonna happen."

But I looked again right after I posted here, and now they're up to 561k. With 64 hours to go!

Well, looks like I've just backed a third project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/diamondsutra/ryuutama-natural-fantasy-role-playing-game

I think this is pretty cool -- a fantasy game that's not Tolkienesque high fantasy and also puts less focus than usual on powergaming for combat and more focus on skills for survival and overcoming obstacles.

Y'all should get in on the digital version before the kickstarter ends, in about seven hours! You get a full-color PDF as well as a few other extras!

A sequel to one of the biggest metroidvania games.

Also, in a surprising twist, they announced that they're going to let people make videos of the alpha builds.
