My – and probably many people’s – first exposure to Kickstarter was when Tim Schafer took to the site in early 2012 to seek funding for a new adventure game to be created by his company Double Fine.The idea was that, since 2D adventure games in the vein of Day of the Tentacle and Grim Fandango hadn’t been a mainstream genre for many years and were now considered niche and commercially risky, if enough people proved that they’d be interested in Double Fine creating such a game, they could go ahead and basically pay for the game in advance so the team could afford to make it without the financial leap of faith. (Read More)

Old school gamers clearly love Mega Man. Mighty No. 9, Keiji Inafune and Comcept’s spiritual successor to the Blue Bomber, has reached its Kickstarter goal ($900,000) and then some. With the latest stretch goal reached, $2.2 million, there are versions coming to PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2015. The next landmark stretch goal will resolve your question about why it will be coming to current gen consoles in 2015 instead of the next-gen many of us will be playing by then. It’s still a ways out at $3.3 million, but that goal will get extra levels, modes, and PS4/XB1 versions. The Kickstarter ends October 31, 2013. So get over there if you want to get them the extra million dollar push to next-gen. (Read More)

Die Kickstarter-Kampagne für The Mighty No. 9 ist weiter ein voller Erfolg. Die minimal benötigten 900.000 US-Dollar hat man bereits locker in der Tasche, im Moment steht der Zähler bei 1,245 Mio. US-Dollar. Wie immer wird der Anfangsschwung etwas nachlassen, sodass die von Kicktraq prognostizierten 9,9 Mio. US-Dollar ziemlich sicher nicht eintreten werden. Trotz allem dürften die bisher kommunizierten Stretch Goals, die bis 2,5 Mio. US-Dollar reichen, nicht besonders lange halten. Bei 1,35 Mio. US-Dollar kommen Linux- und Mac-Versionen, bei 1,5 Mio. US-Dollar gibt es einen New-Game-Plus-Modus sowie eine Turbo-Variante. Man darf gespannt sein, welche erweiterten Ziele noch aufgerufen werden, um die Finanzierungslaune auf hohem Niveau zu halten. Schon jetzt ist sicher, dass das Projekt zu den erfolgreichsten überhaupt gehören wird bei einer Restlaufzeit von 26 Tagen. (Read More)
