I can't believe the picture they went with as the "cover" for that game. I mean, the game itself looks awful too, but holy poo poo that high school binder anime image is something else.

I more dislike the irony pixel artstyle. Making a featureless blob of blocks is "voxel-based" now apparently.

Sorry if this has already been posted - did you guys play the Dog Mendonca demo?

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/942343365/the-interactive-adventures-of-dog-mendonca-and-piz/posts/1024079#comments

I've been following adventure game kickstarters lately and it's a real shame about this particular one - it looks amazing, apparently based on a successful comic book. Unfortunately, I guess the IP is largely unknown in the US, and as pretty as the game is - and it's REAL pretty, it has things going against it like for example the NAME. It's Dog Mendonca. In the game, he's Dog Mendoza. Every time I searched for it on KS or KT I came up with zero results. It really, really is a shame, it's rare to see and adventure game with so much hard work and awesomeness poured into its art. I'll be backing this as soon as payday's here.

A couple of successful kickstarters have gotten sequels recently.

Boss Fight Books, Season 2:

Video Games Live, Level 4:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1916334303/video-games-live-level-4-lets-do-it-again

I backed both of the originals and was overall satisfied with what came out. Boss Fight was really hit or miss with the books, but the better ones were worth reading.

On another Kickstarter related note, Starcrawlers updated with this:


I'm not sure how I feel about the episodic game updates, but the project is looking really good overall. I like the idea of beta testing and releasing a polished chunk of the game, but I'm worried the chapter based releases will just be too thin to keep my interest though. That said, Wasteland 2's Arizona really benefited from the beta test while the second half needed such a beta test IMO. Maybe it'll work with Startcrawlers!

I was disappointed and prepared to kiss my pledge goodbye when Jack Houston and the Necronauts did it, and I feel the same way this time around. Given the structure of the game, I'm not really convinced that what they have is conducive to being tested on a level-by-level basis. It's a dungeon crawl, not a full-blown CRPG loaded with scripted NPCs.

Too late to withdraw my pledge though, so I'm along for the ride. I'd be cool with being pleasantly surprised. Speaking of...

I enjoyed TLJ, and appreciated that it ended up going off in a completely different direction than I expected, but didn't think it was the second coming of adventure games. Dreamfall was an abysmal disappointment on every level, so much so that I completely wrote Tornquist and Co off afterward.

This intrigues me, because I really wanted to like Dreamfall (and I've got a copy of the 'limited' edition as dubious proof), but it fought me every step of the way. Thank you. :)

You probably wouldn't know, but hearing people tell you you should stick with stuff related to your culture is jarring as hell, and it encourages stereotyping and lack of diversity. I'd love to see a Lovecraftian game made by innuites, if only just to see what they come up with. E.g. I'm from Transylvania, but I'll flip my poo poo if someone tells me I should make something Dracula related one more time.
