    Kickstarter Picks: Godus

    By

    When Peter Molyneux founded 22cans, it was with the intention of cultivating an environment where he and others were free to experiment with new ideas—22 of them, to be exact. Their first experiment, Curiosity, was a bold one indeed. It left many wondering what the studio would do next, and if they'd try and out-bizarre themselves. With that in mind, it's kind of a surprise that Godus, their second experiment, is as familiar a concept as it is.

    Kickstarter Picks: Below

    Perhaps the best part of the recent Kickstarter craze is how many niche game concepts it's brought to fruition. Historically, most publishers aren't receptive to ideas that lack mass appeal, which has caused a lot of potentially interesting games to never see the light of day. Below, for example, is the kind of thing you'd likely have trouble releasing through traditional means. It's a card game with a heavy emphasis on narrative and player agency, and it lacks things like sick gunplay and mad explosions. As such, what better place to seek support than Kickstarter?

    Kickstarter Picks: Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption

    By

    Depending on your age, it's possible you have fond memories of a little series called Quest for Glory. With elements plucked from both the adventure and role-playing genres, it offered a kind of complexity you didn't see much in the late '80s/early '90s. Fast forward to now, and creators Lori and Corey Cole are looking to innovate once again with Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption. To make it happen, they've decided to turn to Kickstarter.

    Kickstarter Picks: Worm Run

    By

    Playing a mobile game with a virtual on-screen d-pad often feels as natural as drinking a tall cup of crushed glass. As a result, games that should theoretically be wonderful make you want to put your fist through a pile of bricks. Golden Ruby, a two-man indie game team, understands that virtual d-pads are wretched, which is why it's conjured up an intuitive alternative for its upcoming game Worm Run.

    Kickstarter Picks: Cthulhu World Combat

    By

    Are you familiar with those shows where people dive into the sea in search of treasure? They're boring a lot of the time, but I always watch in the hopes that they'll accidentally uncover Cthulhu. Whether it awoke and wreaked havoc or just netted its discoverers a pretty penny on eBay, it would be amazing television. Until that beautiful day, I'll be living out my fantasies with the many games that revolve around the infamous deity, such as the upcoming Cthulhu World Combat, labeled as the "next chapter" in the Call of Cthulhu mythos.

    Kickstarter Picks: Shadowgate

    The indifferent Sphinx. The mysterious, indecipherable EPOR. Death personally coming to collect your soul while lamenting, "It's a sad thing that your adventures have ended here!" Ha! Joke's on you, death: Everything about Shadowgate is so ingrained in gaming culture that it's impossible for it to die. In fact, the creators of the original game are turning to Kickstarter in hopes of funding a remake.

    Kickstarter Picks: Kasimono

    By

    What if Batman, Bane, the Joker, Captain America, Catwoman, and Obama all teamed up to develop a game? Well, someone would probably wind up hurt (or worse) by the end of it all, but it would be an interesting amalgamation of talent. Good news, bad news time. Bad news: The DC universe isn't actually teaming up with Marvel and the Prez to make a game. Good news: A bunch of veteran developers have put together a video of themselves cosplaying as the aforementioned characters in hope that you'll sponsor Kasimono, a revolutionary monster-catching game.
