    OUYA console coming soon to a store near you

    By

    The folks behind the OUYA announced earlier today that the Android-based console will be available later this year in select retail locations. This comes as a bit of a surprise given its origins on Kickstarter, but it's good news all the same. Developers will likely have a wider audience to peddle their wares to, and those who missed out on the Kickstarter can pick up the console without much trouble.

In the midst of all these Kickstarter fears and concerns, it's nice to see a product that's coming along without any sort of visible snags or delays.

    Kickstarter Picks – Galactic Keep: Dice Battles

    By

    I hate the term vaporware.  I know that it exists, and I know that some games really become it - but just because a game takes a ridiculous amount of time to develop doesn't mean that it's not coming.  Take Galactic Keep: Dice Battles.  This is a game that's been on my radar since 2009.  Most people would think I was crazy to expect it to still happen after all this time - but with your help, it may actually cross the finish line sooner than later.

    Kickstarter Picks: Tiny Barbarian DX

    By

    What's more retro than a movie about a beefy, shirtless barbarian? A pixel-based video game about a beefy, shirtless barbarian. Maybe you had a chance to play last year's Tiny Barbarian, a simple but compelling side-scroller by retro game fan Michael Stearns. Now Stearns and his friend, Daniel Roth, are turning to Kickstarter in hopes of funding a remake of the game for the PC. It's a big undertaking, even if the game's hero is oh-so tiny.

    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.

    10 tips for Kickstarter success (Casual Connect Kiev)

    By

    You've started work on a game, but if you ever want to finish it you're going to need money.  LOTS of money.  "No problem," you think to yourself.  "If industry dinosaurs like Tim Schafer and Jordan Weisman can do it, surely a young buck like me can do it too!"  And while it's a nice sentiment, there are a lot of Kickstarter projects that never quite reach their target.  If you want a chance to cross the finish line, it's best you seek out the advice of someone who's succeeded before; someone like Michael Paeck.

    Gamezebo uncovers Sword of Fargoal’s Project X: a board game! (Exclusive)

    By

    Yesterday, we published an in-depth interview with the team behind Sword of Fargoal 2, chronicling the journey from classic roguelike to modern sequel. What you didn't see in the article, however, was our persistent line of questioning about the much-teased secret $140,000 stretch goal. At the time, Jeff McCord wouldn't budge. Then, after the article hit the site, something peculiar happened.
