Telltale Games

*Darth Marsden* · 03/14/2012, 09:11 am

Since there's probably going to be a fair few Kickstarter projects that aren't done by Tim Schafer, I thought it might be nice to start a separate thread for all the little games on Kickstarter that don't get as much exposure.

For example: Feeble's Fable: The Legend of Runes by Atomic Chimp Games. Another point-and-click adventure game, but this one is going for more of a cute and charming feel. It definitely looks interesting, though they've nowhere near the backing they need.

And another: Americana Dawn by one guy, Max K. Lambert. It's a freeware retro-styled RPG about the French & Indian War and the American War for Independence. Kickstarter page is a little bare (he doesn't actually say what he needs the money for, for one), but it looks like an awesome game.

So let's see what other Kickstarter projects you think is worth shining a little light on!

Not at all. Any Kickstarter project will do.

I dunno. It's not really breaking any ground or anything. If you're into classic platformers, there's that Core of Innocence game. There's a soundtrack and it's already going to be funded. Doesn't really seem to be offering anything more than any other indie platformer though. Eh. Saw it, saw it was going to be funded, thought I'd throw it out here. Looks like the guy has been funding it himself, thought I could at least share it.

I was browsing the "video game" section of Kickstarter, and I found this adventure game project about Sherlock Holmes that might be interesting :

You better.

I feel the need to bring the project to people's attention.

The Banner Saga

It is a RPG/Turn-based strategy... thing based (loosely) on Norse mythology by some former Bioware developers who left to create their own games. It's animated in a 2d, Disney-esque style, and overall looks extremely interesting.

Do want. Need more money first, though. I'm now broke.

Preview link.

No Steam? Bah! Not interested.

More seriously: £10K? That seems... a lot.

Good. What do you think I should aim for? My artist will run me about 2500 and studio time for voice acting will be about 50/hr.

Also, yes! I must submit it to Steam. These are all things I need feedback on so I don't miss anything.

RetroVortex · 03/19/2012, 02:45 pm

Ha Ha!
I'd start a kickstarter if I was more experienced!
(after all I have to actually make a 100% finished game first! XD)

EDIT: Also not being in the US probably doesn't help either... :/

Why are you spending so much on studio time anyways? Get on a voice actor website and get people to record the lines directly for you, you'll need to maintain consistency in terms of EQ levels and blah blah blah but any voice actor worth their salt will be able to do this. You have to be well coordinated but a lot of studios and VA's are going this route now.

It's 2012, recording studios are for Pixar movies and Lady Gaga

I didn't know about this. See, this is what I call crowdlearnng.

I must totally agree. So far, this and DFA are the only things I've backed on Kickstarter.
