Just pledged to this - I got a heads up back in February that this was happening (was meant to go live on March 14th, but heyho). Very exciting.
I've added this one to the Games wiki and we'll no doubt cover it in the next Funding Crowd as a Biggie!

This is great news. Fingers crossed for some big AAA titles using the engine and getting a simultaneous Linux release. Fantastic!

I backed Earthlock (thanks again to Q4a for that one) and have just backed Nothing to Hide. I'm also swithering over Star Crawlers.
It might have been a slow start to 2014, but there's absolutely cracking stuff coming out now.

There's also Card City Nights - http://store.steampowered.com/app/271820/ [External Link]. It's really good, no in-app purchases at all and clocks in at a reasonably 8 hours campaign. I'm not sure, but I don't think there's multiplayer in this one though.
Worth a look though. The combo idea is really clever and makes the strategy more important than waiting for a killer card. The style is fun too - reminds me a little of the superb Costume Quest.

This looks superb, but as a developer, they need to blog more. Up until two days ago, their site carried the same "Merry Christmas" message/blog post that they created on December 21st. To a casual visitor, the site would look like a dead project.
Very excited to play this though. Like a cross between Rebelstar Raiders and the recent Xcom remake. It looks excellent.

You made me google Wii emulation and it came back with this incredible project - http://dolphin-emu.org/ [External Link]. That was news to me. Looks sweet. I'll check it out later, for sure.
But nope - doesn't look like Puppy Arcade incorporates it.

I have an old arcade cabinet which I've been putting off renovating as a MAME setup. Sounds like I have no excuse any longer...

Excited for this one, with a tinge of caution after the slightly disappointing Machine For Pigs. This looks superb. Like a cross between The Thing and the original System Shock.

Project Temporality looks like Braid in 3D. Great selection of games. Can't wait!
Shelter & Pid From Might and Delight Are Being Ported To Linux

I wanted to buy Shelter when it came out, so this is great news. I hadn't heard of PID, but it looks superb. The animation is jaw-dropping. Two essential purchases, methinks...
