Nightdive Studios confirm Linux and macOS ports of System Shock are cancelled

Quoting: EagleDeltaNever go into Crowdfunding of any kind thinking you're money is related to being a customer. It's NOT, you're an investor that doesn't get any stake in the company or payout. Instead you get exclusive content and (usually for physical products) earlier access to the product than the rest of the public.
That's just practically quoting Kickstarter's entire cop-out line. And it would be fine if it was actually even vaguely structured like that. But it's not. It's "pledge at this level, get these rewards". Or "meet this goal, we make this promise". At that point, there needs to be accountability. But KS hide behind their "you're an investor" line and shirk all responsibility.

This encompasses perfectly why I gave up on Kickstarter years ago. Particularly disappointing given how much I advocated for it in its early days. Absolutely zero accountability from KS.

My last backed project was December 2014.

Kickstarter will now allow late-pledges for finished campaigns

I haven't watched the video, but I really hope this is only enabled for already-successful campaigns. I think there needs to be a cut-off for success or failure of a campaign and late-pledges suddenly reviving a dead campaign could cause chaos.

Please be good, please be good, please be good!

Been a while since I played Tales of Maj'Eyal. After 300 or so hours and its frankly aged GUI, I moved on. But this... this could be the successor! Please be good.

I love this horde-survival game. I think it's probably in the top-three for me, along with Death Must Die and the daddy, Vampire Survivors.

Towerful Defense: Prologue is like Brotato and Vampire Survivors had a TD baby

Hell yeah, this'll be insta-buy when it lands and I'm gonna play the prologue into the ground until then. Loved Heretic's Fork. Loved Brotato. What could be better?

Quoting: Talon1024
Quoting: Penglinginstead of 3-point as the original hardware did, which typically makes these games look "off"
And this is what it looks like [External Link].
Might be because I'm on my phone, but I don't see the difference between your two screenshots of the jagged texture under the stairs.

Rogue Voltage is a refreshing and very creative engineering roguelike

Well, since I've put hundreds of hours into Backpack Hero, I guess this is an insta-buy from me! Looking forward to giving it a shot later!
