Schwarzbart Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 First some kind of Warning only spend money you are prepeared to lose on Kickstarter Projects. To my knowledge all the money you spend on such projects considered as donation to Art acording to the American law and so there isn't much you can do if a founded project turn out as a Scam or fail to deliver because of other reasons. And now to the first Project I have learned about Kickstarter (even if it haven'd started at the time of this edit) Acording to this Blog is Obsidian Entertainment thinking about finanzing a Game via Kickstarter. Now they ask for what kind of game the player whant to see from them if they do this. Maybe thats a chance to see a New RPG in the style of the classic RPGs again. I personal hope for something like Neverwinter Night 3 or other Fantasy based RPG with Iso perspective and Turn/Pause based Combat.

Legate of Mineta Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 That would be totally awesome. I at least wouldn't mind Alpha Protocol, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 How about a game where you go to a school to learn about magic and make discoveries and.... Oh wait, we've already got that covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolguy Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Brian Fargo and inXile Entertainment have stepped this up a notch by pledging to donate 5% of the profits from their Kickstarted game, Wasteland 2, to other game Kickstarters. Which is pretty neat as Wasteland 1 was basically one of THE landmark games of the 80s, and Wasteland 2 has pretty much the entire original band back together, after 20 years. It is likely going to rock spines that haven't even been formed yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 At least myself from the Team is super excited for Wasteland 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Acording to a Twitter Message Obsidian Entertainment now already work on something for kickstarter. https://twitter.com/#!/ChrisAvellone/status/183975869168103425 (I got this link from a german newspage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymrean Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I would love to see more games on Kickstarter. I pledged to Wasteland 2 and I'm thinking of pledging to two more gaming projects. If it's ok I'll link to them. FTL Banner Sage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legate of Mineta Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Yeah, myself and some of the Team contributed to that yesterday. Fond memories of that game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Btw they got over 400000$ by now so the minimum is reached. (414,138$ when I write this message) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Wow! Great to hear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikka Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I donated, too. Shadowrun... so many fond memories, though I usually played Cyberpunk 2000, actually. Still. Fond memories! Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 I hope they (the Shadowun Kickstarter Project) manage to get to the 1Mio Goal so we get a better Editor and a Second City. And People from Obsidian Entertainemnt now Help at Wastland 2 (They reached the 2.1 M extra Goal). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Would be interesting to know what they plan for that second city- Tokyo would be cool. But hey, I think they should come to a far future Mineta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 There wild be a Survey as soon they hit that goal. But I personal hope for A Tir... City because one of the two Elven Court would be very interesting to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Must be the one in Oregon, as the Irish Court isn't very friendly, as I recall. Mmmm, can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Shadowrun Returns hit the 1000000$ (Kickstarter+ PayPal) so it get a second City and a bether Editor. Wasteland 2 hit the 2500000$ (again Kickstarter+ PayPal) so they will expand the Team that work on this game. (But with 3 days left I doubt the 3000000$ will be hit for the Editor) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 I vote for Tokyo, in ShadowRun. The Academagia Editor, on the other hand, wants Berlin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted April 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Wow I was proven wrong Wastland 2 even managed the 3000000$ ~2 hour bevore the end (Kickstarter+ Paypal together) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 The Banner Saga also managed the last (700000$) Goal 4h bevore the end. (Without Paypal) So there will be Citys in the Multiplayer part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymrean Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Wonderfull, 3 successfull kicksters backed. But I'm weary of backing more. This could become a new addiction, like buying Indie Bundles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I have to agree here its not just the money but also to find the time to play all this games because all games I have a interest in (at Kickstarter) aim for a 2013 release. Taking into account that Academagia Year 2 also aims for 2013 I for sure will become problems to play all this nice games I want to Pledge. So its bether to take a step back even if the price tag of 15$ for the Download Version sound good, because if one never find the time to play them its still wasted money.

Schwarzbart Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 There was recently a Scam at Kickstarter that used Pictures of other Pages to look trustworty. It was the project Mytic : The Story of Gods and Men. Here the link to the Forum where someone have made it publice that it is a scam: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/forums/showthread.php?3301-Kickstarter-et-alia&p=122329&viewfull=1#post122329 So in General be prepeared that there is a chance you losing the money you spend on Kickstarter without geting any reward because I doubt every scam is found bevore the project got founded. (There are also other things not just a pure scam that could prefent a Project Starter to deliver what was promised after the project got financed at kickstarter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Here are some links to Kickstarter Projekts I think are curently interesting out of the huge list on curent video games listed there. The ARPG Grim Dawn what is based on the Titan Quest Engine will be founded in 5 days. The Banner Saga have made some infos public about the sending of the goodies. Especial the Video is interesting where they show how many things they have to send out. FOUNDED Fans of the UFO / XCOM Series maybe should have a look at Xenonauts. FOUNDED Of all the Spaceflight Games curent on Kickstarter I think Kinetic-Void is the most interesting one. FOUNDED but was a close call For People who like the old RPGs ala Dungeon Master or old Might and Magic Titels with Turnbased & Tile based Movement there is Malevolence. FOUNDED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
