'Clive & The Stones Of The Ancient Bunnies' made something of a belly flop on Kickstarter earlier this year, and was far from reaching their £25K goal. That didn't stop one-man developer Rob Wass though, as he has kept at it and released a new gameplay trailer for the game last week.

The game admittedly looks a bit rough around the edges visually, but considering the scope of the project, and the fact that it's the work of one man, with the help of Wyshwood Studio for sound, it's still an ambitious one. Also, considering the genre had its heyday in the late 90's and early 00's, with games like 'Super Mario 64', 'Banjo-Kaziooe', 'Jak and Daxter' and 'Rayman 2', it looks far from bad in comparison.
3D collect-a-thons have been something of a rarity since the genre reached its peak over a decade ago, so for fans of the genre it's great to see that there are at least a few games to look forward to. Lobodestroyo is one that did meet its funding goal, looks very promising, and that will also release for Linux. The perhaps most notable of the crowd-funded collect-a-thons, A Hat in Time, unfortunately won't be released for Linux, as it's being built using Unreal Engine 3.
The publisher funded titles are fewer and far between, but there are still games like the still excellent Psychonauts, Tiny & Big, The Last Tinker and TRI, which all have elements of the same gameplay.
If you think 'Clive & The Stones of the Ancient Bunnies' looks interesting, you might consider voting for it on Steam Greenlight. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Holy Crap! a new platformer that is similar to Jak and Daxter, and for Linux! This would also be a release day purchase for me to!
And if anyone didn't know, this is on steam greenlight.

Yeah, me too. I really hope these games end up making money so that we might get more of them in the future. Also looking forward to hearing more about the progress being made on Lobodestroyo, as it's being made by a pretty sizeable team of professionals and has a lot of potential.
I mentioned it on the bottom of the article but it bears repeating. :)

In case anyone's interested, GamerHeadlines.com posted an interview with the developer earlier today.
