Wow yeah, it's a bummer that Project Awakening isn't going to get funded. I thought it hit its mark ages ago.

The first episode of Tropes vs Women in Video Games is out.
This video is really great! Excited to see the rest of the series. I remember the manchildrage on neogaf back when the Kickstarter launched.

Among the Sleep, the survival horror game where you play as a toddler that's showed some teasers over the past year or so, just started a new Kickstarter asking for $200,000.

I open the link, thinking "oh this sounds really cool, especially since I recently bought Monsters and Other Childish Things"

Words cannot express how much I want The Stomping Land to get funded. It hits all the right notes: DINOSAURS, a fantastic prototype, informative video with good voiceover, and an awesome dinosaur book reward tier? It is killing me that I have no money to spare right now. :ohdear:

edit: Actually, there's a $1 reward tier. I can afford that. :shobon:

So this got funded in less than a day!

Unfortunately their stretch goals are far off and vague.

Still, DINOSAURS!

Whenever I see dinosaurs used as a marketing thing it makes me wary because for some reason games with dinosaurs in them are almost always terrible.
Which is all the more reason that there needs to be more DINOSAUR games!

Why is anyone buying into the PA kickstarter? I don't get it, and I thought I had made some dumb internet purchases in my time.
There are hundreds if not thousands of people whose entire lives and identities revolve around the Penny Arcade webcomic and associated personalities.

I feel like Road Redemption would have been better served by a better name. "Road Redemption" sounds like generic bargain bin eurotrash.

The only thing is I hope that there is more of a goal than just "become the strongest tribe". I hope there's more to it than that, and maybe some kind of story that goes along with it. Also coop sounds cool, but it also sounds like it's only your friends vs the computer. I wonder if he'd open it up eventually to be coop vs coop. No computers just other player tribes your tribe would be against.
That's the core of his concept for multiplayer (and he describes the whole game as "multiplayer") - multiple player tribes competing for the same resources.

I suggest you guys click the "report Kickstarter" button at the bottom of that project page. Hopefully KS will address the problem.

The Stomping Lands released their first update since they got funded. I'm disappointed it's just another short conceptual gameplay video (and the specificity of this video plus their last one worries me that they don't have a presentable, cohesive overall concept with technical architecture to back it up), BUT taming Gallimimuses is super cool!

The devs also seem unwilling to change their unreachable and unenticing stretch goals. That said, they still have my $1 and I wish I could pledge more in spite of my reservations.

I haven't seen this posted yet, and I apologize if it has been and I just missed it, but holy poo poo, someone is making an official licensed game based on the Redwall books.

I loving ADORED these as a kid, so I hope this turns out at least decent. The only stuff they have to show at the moment are some (admittedly pretty) empty environments.
Yeah there's no hope for this game. Unprofessional, vague, a tiny budget, and not a microsecond of gameplay to be seen (as far as I can tell). The fact that their pitch trailer contains Minecraft footage is embarrassing.

Wait, what? I lose points for reading comprehension, but what a bizarre, stupid Kickstarter.

Just found another gem called Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet! (Retro Pirate Adventure). Looks like a pretty average point and click adventure game, but I love his video. He's how I picture the average goon except that he has a GIRLFRIEND.
Point and click?? Sold.
