What are you kicking?

Okay, (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/samanthazero/sentris-unleash-your-inner-musician) Sentris sounds like it could be amazing. I don't really have a good handle on how it works, but a good music-making game is definitely something I want to play. I must find out more.

Edit: In fact she provides a pretty good explanation of the prototype gameplay in a video embedded further down that page:

Holy crap, Cyan is actually working on a new game - (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cyaninc/obduction) Obduction. It's about freaking time. I couldn't back it fast enough.

With less than 24 hours to go, Cyan has reached their 1.1 million goal, but not the first stretch goal (Oculus Rift support at 1.3 million). If you want to help, do it now.

But isn't a little weird that they need to be funded? Guess they pretty much figured hitting their goal would be an automatic, so why not.

From what I understand they almost folded after Uru Live. Ubisoft let them make Myst V (aka Uru Leftover Scraps), and then pulled the plug. I guess a lesson learned (the hard way): Myst MMO = a BAD idea.

Also, in the kickstarter video, Rand Miller explains they went to publishers with Obduction, but couldn't get the creative freedom they wanted.

The soundtrack for (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bischoff/stasis-2d-isometric-scifi-horror-adventure-game) Stasis will be made by Mark Morgan. If you don't know who that is, then you have my condolences.

some guy who plagarised aphex twin

ATM there's 13 hours left on (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cyaninc/obduction) Obduction, Cyan's spritual successor to Myst and they are SO CLOSE to hitting the stretch goal for Rift support. A free roam Cyan adventure powered by a cutting edge engine, with the Rift support would probably be mind-blowingly immersive.

Similarly highly innovative looking First Person puzzle game, (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1188957169/scale) Scale, just unlocked their stretch goal for Rift support. 16 hours left on that one.

I can think of worse things to plagiarize.

Renault on 16/11/2013 at 06:53

I've always been a big fan on Morgan's first project, the Zork Nemesis soundtrack.

Renault on 19/11/2013 at 22:32

This project has already been funded 3x over, but it sounds really promising so I thought I'd post it anyway - (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/railboy/frontiers-explore-discover-survive?ref=live) Frontiers.

Definitely looks like my kind of game. Seems a bit ambitious though to be completed by January, especially with every stretch goal reached.

HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY, MURDERERS! :mad:

Well sure, but they gave up with over a week to go. No sympathy here.

henke on 22/11/2013 at 16:54

Most kickstarters certainly have a boost in the last week/days, but expecting a project to make 75% of it's required funds in that week is a bit over-optimistic.
