Kickstarter Campaigns

[Micksy]

Hi all!

Figured it would be good to have a thread about current/upcoming Kickstarter campaigns so we can all get on board and support some of the great projects as they are launched. (Maybe even get a couple of the early bird slots)

Remember: Backing a Kickstarter does not entitle you to anything. The rewards are a nice bonus for your donation.

My advice is to consider the money a donation. Once the projet is backed the money is gone.

A couple of the projects I've backed so far that have been released:
Wasteland 2
Shadowrun Returns
Project Eternity (Later renamed "Pillars Of Eternity")
Jagged Alliance: Flashback
Massive Chalice
Warmachine: Tactics
Pinball Arcade: The Addams Family
(Another 28 backed, but yet to be completed released)

Potato salad is my all time favourite kickstarter:

On a more relevant note they're all a bit iffy. Nekro was in development for years after being funded, as has Star Citizen. Broken Age had to break its game up and couldn't release the second half until only last week. The second act was really disappointing for mine.

Two of the most promising games in development, both look very sexy.

I'd love to pledge for a physical copy of Bloodstained but dunno if the combined cost would be worth it ...

Anyone else feel the site navigation could be more organised and streamlined?

Megaman Legends 'spiritual successor' Red-Ash could miss its original goal of $800,000 ...
