Kickstarter Spotlight: Fishkeeper
I’ve owned aquariums a few times in my life; despite the maintenance and upkeep, it’s generally very rewarding, relaxing and even therapeutic to take care of fish in a well […]
Kickstarter Spotlight: Abyssal Albion #2
Following the excellent first issue‘s successful corwdfunding campaign and release, Lovecraftian survival horror comic series Abyssal Albion has now been launched on Kickstarter. I missed the campaign for the well-written […]
Kickstarter Spotlight: The Breakfast Bunch #1
Though the concept itself seems incredibly leftfield – with a group of breakfast cereal box mascots uniting to defend the treasure of The Perfectly Balanced Breakfast from a mysterious villain […]
Kickstarter Spotlight: [lock-on] Volume 1
Though mass market, large scale print video games media is an industry that’s a shell of its former self, there’s an awful lot of passion, creativity and talent in the […]
Kickstarter Spotlight: Night Market
Having launched on Kickstarter on the 9th of March and achieved its funding goal in just 12 hours, it’s clear that Night Market – a worker placement board game with […]
Comic Book Review: Abyssal Albion #1
Long term readers of the blog will know that I have always been a fan of the cosmic horror of HP Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos, though not a fan of the […]
Kickstarter: My Time at Sandrock
My Time at Portia was a critical and commercial hit when it launched on PC in 2018 and then later on consoles in 2019. It was a beautifully compelling, Studio […]
Kickstarter: Kapia
I talk about this a lot in my articles, but I’m forever impressed at not just the drive and determination that independent creators show – but also their incredible talent. […]
Kickstarter: HoverGrease
I’m always impressed by the ingenuity, tenacity and general inventiveness of small indie teams. HoverGrease – which is currently seeking funds on Kickstarter – is, almost unbelievably, the work of a two person team, Altergaze. Having already been in development for two and a half years, the team need some assistance to get the game over the finish line. The […]
Kickstarter: BRZRKR
Keanu Reeves has undergone an absolutely incredible career renaissance in recent years, with the John Wick films shooting him into stratospheric heights of popularity that he hasn’t seen since the first Matrix movie way back in 1999. And why not? It’s about time; Reeves is reportedly one of the nicest and most down to earth people working in movies today, […]
Kickstarter: Sniper Elite – The Board Game
I was late to the party with Rebellion’s hugely popular, long-running Sniper Elite series. The first one I played was Sniper Elite 3; I was immediately blown away by the open nature of each stage and the huge variety on offer with which to cause gory, sometimes painfully detailed, chaos. The Sniper Elite games see players cast as – spoiler […]
Kickstarter: Fallen City Brawl
With games such as Streets of Rage 4 bringing the classic, arcade style scrolling beat ’em up back into our living rooms – not to mention countless other examples in recent years, such as Double Dragon Neon and reissues such as the incredible Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle – it seems that the love and nostalgia for the genre is […]
Kickstarter: Dreamcast: Year Two
Having read Andrew Dickinson’s fantastic Dreamcast: Year One earlier this year, I couldn’t be any more excited about Dreamcast: Year Two. The second volume’s crowdfunding campaign launched earlier this week […]
Kickstarter: Neko Ghost, Jump!
I’ve always had a soft spot for cutesy 2D platformers, having grown up playing them in the 80s and 90s – and, mostly thanks to indie developers, they seem to be just as popular as ever today. The 3D platformer has been undergoing a bit of a resurgence recently too, with games such as Yooka-Laylee, not to mention the remastered […]
Kickstarter Update: 7 Fortunes
Brilliant, Greek Mythology-themed board game 7 Fortunes – which I’ve previously covered here – is now in the final stages of its crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. With just under three days to go, 7 Fortunes has reached its funding target – which is fantastic news – but there are still some cool stretch goals on offer. Note that backing for […]
Kickstarter: Pixel Bison
Hot on the heels of the well received issue 1 (reviewed by yours truly here), as well as pre-orders now being live for the second issue (here!), creator and editor Andrew McMaster has now launched a Kickstarter campaign in order to fund the third issue. Though the first and second issues have been self-funded – partly as a proof-of-concept to […]
