What Kickstarter Project Did You Fund?

[Ian Lutz]

The kickstarter is over now, but I thought I'd mention it anyways. It was for a table-top game called Mobile Frame Zero: Rapid Attack. I first saw it when I was at PAXEast and knew immediately I had to get my hands on it.

Here's the kickstarter page: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/JoshuaACNewman/mobile-frame-zero-rapid-attack?ref=live

Let's see...

Gave 100 bucks to Wasteland 2.
15 to Shadowrun, though I plan on more when I can afford it.
Starlight Inception got 15 bucks from me, again more to come when I can afford it.
15 to Mr. Shaefer, though I regret not giving more.
Also considering the Leisure Suit Larry one. Need more adventure games.

I haven't donated to any games, but I did donate to the band "The Classic Crime" so that they could make their new album/tour to support it.

It was always an investment. Investment =/= monetary profit. If I enjoy the game for a fraction of its retail price than it was a successful and sound investment.

I'm with you on this. Also, does anyone even like Chrono? Seriously, negative nancy about everything. He sounds like the publishers that denied these games to be made which lead them to kickstarter in the first place. If people don't take risks because their precious money is on the line, then we'll constantly be flooded with CoD clones and "safe" games that pander the greatest audience possible all for the sake of maximum profit. Congratulations, your attitude is why so many games are bland,uninteresting, repetitive and derivative.

So far there are two Kickstarter projects I've gotten behind.

One is a documentary on Cartoonists that interviews greats in the field from print, to webcomics to professors in the field.

The other is an iOS game called Professor Cats' Mazing Machine.

...I've yet to actually get either of them, but I'm excited.

none, but when I get money I might fund Wasteland 2 and Ravaged ^-^

Wasteland 2 has 60 hours to go, get on it.

I was into Kickstarter before it was cool To prove it, I funded the port of Breath of Death VII & Cthulhu Saves the World to PC. Got the ported games in return.

From the current crop post Double Fine I have funded or pledged to:
- Double Fine Adventure
- TAKEDOWN
- Wasteland 2
- The Banner Saga
- Shadowrun Returns

And I'm considering pledging to Starlight Inception.

I already commented before how yes, it is a risky investment. You invest now and may get a bad game later. That's why I invest in developers I believe and like, and I look thoroughly at the proposals for a project before deciding to fund it.

Funding projects through Kickstarter is also the chance to take part in a new model of game development and helping to make games that would otherwise never be made. If even one of these games is a great game when it's done, I'll be able to say "see this game? I helped fund its production."

in that case I won't be funding it
I don't have a credit card so I need someone who can "sell" me Paypal credit =P
best of luck to the devs, though
might buy it when it comes out

So far I've backed FLT, Wasteland 2, and Banner Saga, and I'm considering Shadowrun Returns. Super excited about all of them. Seriously, Kickstarter is shaping up to be the best thing to happen to gaming in quite some time.

I threw $55 at Wasteland 2. (I'm overseas, so I went for the all-digital package. International shipping costs are nuts.) For the "HERP DERP SHOW ME TEH GAME FIRST" people, it's not like I'm giving my money completely blind here. These are the people responsible for some of the greatest RPGs ever, so they've got a reliable track record. Odds are whatever they produce is going to be worth it.
