Been wondering this myself.

The KS website is awful to browse, so I'd also be interested.

In good news, Pulsar: Lost Colony reached its goal :)
That makes about 10 projects I've backed now - none of which I've played yet :D

Yeah; it's not looking too good w/r/t/ the financing of this project. A shame; they probably shouldn't have waited until 8 days from deadline before showing us the first gameplay footage.

I'd be surprised if The Long Dark it DIDN'T get funded. It probably hasn't been fully funded by now because peoples' wallets are suffering "Kickstarter fatigue", i.e. there's been a lot of BIG KS campaigns recently like Mighty No. 9, Shantae and Hyper Light Drifter.

Regardless of the Kickstarter's success, the game is happening since they got a $1m loan from the Canadian government. The KS' purpose is deliver the additional funding that they believe will help bring their full vision to fruition.

(http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sarahnorthway/rebuild-gangs-of-deadsville) Rebuild 3: Gangs of Deadsville - I loved Rebuild 1 & 2. Really fun flash games. This one looks like it will cross the line + hit some stretch goals. If they do a PC port I might chip in.

Asking for: 25k
Raised: 20k
Days Left: 22

They're absolutely doing a PC version, have a read of the KS campaign page.

Probably the thing that caught my eye the most is the fact that developer is married to the Incredipede guy, Colin Northway. That game is probably more infamous for its storied trip onto the Steam marketplace than anything else.

The Long Dark has raised $190,000/$200,000 with 4 days to go. Probably gonna make it.

Jennifer Hale (Femshep) is voicing a character! Also starring Elias Toufexis (Adam Jensen) and Mark Meer (Broshep) as the protagonist Will Mackenzie.

Beautiful:-

(http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1307515311/night-in-the-woods) New game from the dude who made Aquaria, which would makes it very tempting for me to back on its own but the art style is also bloody lovely so there goes some money.

!!

Looks nothing like Aquaria. Alec's back on music duties. Pissy goth cat who doesn't wear pants. Smacks mail boxes with a baseball bat, plays baseball with old tube lights from a dumpster with a friend for kicks.

Fucking SOLD.

Never played Aquaria, and I ain't gonna! But yeah that looks pretty great. It's gonna fly so far past it's goal that it's crazy, so I'm not gonna pledge.
