Category: Crowdfunding

Greetings, fans of The Funding Crowd! We are back after our anniversary celebrations, with the usual load of crowdfunding news enough to quench your pledging desires.

Monochroma, a grim indie platformer (where have we heard that before?), has been released on Steam. The developer, Nowhere Studios, managed to fund the game last year on Kickstarter and Greenlit on Steam. It appears to be set in a dark industrial world with an orwellian vibe. Carried by plot sans dialogue and some great 2.5D visuals, this game definitely looks to have potential.

What's that? Oh just a Kaiju tearing down a skyscraper nothing to worry about. Today we have a tiny little exclusive teaser from Kerberos Production's newest game (the developers of Sword of the Stars & Ground Pounders).

Good news open source gaming fans, KeeperRL has officially hit 100% on indiegogo which will hopefully give the developer plenty of room to improve the project.

And here comes the last treat he had prepared for you to celebrate the first anniversary of The Funding Crowd. A full year worth of successes and stats that we have been regularly dosing in our columns, now in one whole go!

Road Redemption has shown off a brand new trailer crammed full of crazy, it's actual game-play too of the spiritual successor to Road Rash.

From the developers of Ground Pounders & Sword of the Stars comes Kaiju-a-Gogo, it's time to take over the world with big scary monsters.

Telepath Tactics is a turn-based strategy RPG set in the steampunk universe of Telepath RPG. It looks really good.

We showed you SUPERHOT back in September of last year. It's now back seeking funding on Kickstarter to bring out a full game and unsurprisingly it's already over-funded.

As we announced earlier today The Funding Crowd is back again, this time with our usual format. But don't think you're gonna get rid of us so easily... There still might be some surprises to come.

The Funding Crowd is celebrating its first birthday! As a present we are bringing you something new: an interview with Daniel Swiger, who at the moment is crowdfunding his project Chronicles of the Rift.

I wrote about Contested Space recently about how fun it looked. Sadly it's not got long left on Kickstarter and needs a bit of love. We do have a new video to show you too, complete with lasers pew pew.

I assume I am not alone in seeing the hate that Early Access has been getting from some sources recently. Well, the latest game to stoke the fire has been set off by CodeAvarice, developers of Paranautical Activity, a game that we have featured previously that combines both FPS and Rougelike gameplay features.

Remember Just Tactics? The fantastic turn-based strategy game we gave keys away for some-time ago? Well Mark of the Old Ones is the next game from Hit the Sticks and is currently 46 hours away from winning or losing the Kickstarter game.

We have mentioned KeeperRL here a few times now for not only being an interesting game, but because it needs a big push on Indiegogo too.

Darkwood is a top-down, oldschool, sandbox survival horror set in a procedurally generated, open world. It was funding on Indiegogo nearly a year ago and it is built using Unity, sadly even with Unity it won't see day 1 Linux support.

KeeperRL is an open source dungeon simulator game inspired by Dungeon Keeper and Dwarf Fortress. It gets better all the time and this update is no different. It also needs a little push on its crowdfunding campaign to make it even better.

It's not often I see a trailer for a game especially on Kickstarter and just think "wow I really want to back this project". The Universim has done this to me.

The Funding crowd is here again, full of recommendations about new exciting crowdfunded games and a review of what happened to the projects we covered in our latest issue.

We have to wait a little while longer to play Divinity: Original Sin folks as the developers have now confirmed Linux will see a release when it exits Early Access.
