Boon Hill – Stories Beyond the Grave

The game industry as a whole likes to stick to certain formulas when developing games. The aspects of a game that are prioritized are usually action and gameplay, whereas the depth of the actual narrative can sometimes take a backseat. With Boon Hill, Matthew Ritter hopes to create a gaming experience based entirely on uncovering a story and exploring the past. Boon Hill is currently still a Kickstarter project in the works and is best described as a graveyard simulator of sorts. [...]

Kickstarter Action: April Edition

I’ve always been a big fan of Kickstarter and what it means to the industry. Kickstarter has the unique ability to allow small studios and development teams to get access to funding through tapping right into their target market. Lately however, we’ve seen larger companies using it to stay afloat, which goes a bit against what I think it should be used for. So today, we’ll take a look at some of the more unique and interesting video game projects on [...]

[News] Broken Age the Title of Double Fine’s Kickstarter Game

Hey, remember that weekend last year when the entire games industry, fanbase, and enthusiast press united under one banner (for once) and gave like 4.3 billion dollars to Double Fine so they could Kickstart an old-school point-and-click adventure game? Well, that game now has a title: Broken Age! A promotional webpage has gone up with a very brief synopsis of how the game was funded along with a synopsis of what it’s about. Here’s what it says: “Broken Age is [...]

[SXSW] Hands on With Leisure Suit Larry

Tucked away at SXSW this year was a small booth containing gameplay for Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards Reloaded. For those that have been sitting out the news, Leisure Suit Larry is back in 2d form from Austin based Replay Games. He has gone through Kickstarter. He has gone through Steam Greenlight. Finally, with a month until release, he was in playable form. As I was cautioned however, the game is still in Alpha. Hit [...]

[News] Dan Kim brings Award-winning Graphic Novel NNN to Hardcover via Kickstarter

I’d really like to explain to you what NNN is about but I myself have no idea. However it’s described as following in the labyrinth style of Mark Z. Danielewski’s House of Leaves and Lewis Carol’s Alice in Wonderland in a beautiful hardcover package, it’s hard not to take interest. ‘NNN’ is a hybrid graphic-novel in the tradition of House of Leaves with additional inspiration drawn from Alice in Wonderland, combining comic, puzzle and novel elements into a single bold [...]

[Review] Retrovirus — To Infinin-I.T. and Beyond!

Anyone who was a PC gamer in the 90s remembers the Descent games. In them, you played as a ship that navigated caves and shot your way through waves of robots. In many ways it was like Quake in a spaceship, and it was awesome. After three games in this series, and a more free-form approach with the Freespace titles, the genre fizzled out in favor of ‘on-foot’ shooters. From out of this rubble, indie developer Cadenza set up a [...]

[News] Commander Keen Kickstarter Begins

Once again, Twinfinite finds itself on the cutting edge of the video game industry’s hottest news. Our friends over at Polygon reported yesterday that Tom Hall, a creator of Id Software’s pre-Doom classic platformer Commander Keen was launching a Kickstarter to fund a spiritual sequel. It’s going to be called Worlds of Wander Plus ‘Secret Spaceship Club’ Game, and in addition to the Keen-esque revival, Hall is also including an editor which will allow players to create their own levels [...]

[Wormlight] Radio the Universe

[Wormlight is a spotlight feature where we introduce something awesome and explain why it's worth your time] Usually I don’t do Kickstarter posts talking about why you should really think about supporting a game because that’s their job.  I however have been in a Zelda-like mood what with Binding of Isaac and Anodyne interviews back to back, so when I see something interesting pop up in my twitter feed from the charming Sophie Houlden of Swift+Stitch fame, I pay notice. [...]

[News] Project Eternity meets Base Goal, Stretch Goals Revealed

Obsidian Entertainment launched a Kickstarter just two days ago for an “isometric, party based RPG set in a new fantasy world” called Project Eternity. With the help of fans of old isometric RPGs such as Icewind Dale, Baldur’s Gate, and Planetscape: Torment, Obsidian reached their 1.1 million goal in only two days by promising to bring what players loved about those games to a modern era. They describe their game as having the complex story, tactical combat, and engaging companions [...]
