Damn international S&H raining on my parades.

(not only that but the UK has customs as well. So its not worth it in the end unless you like to gamble)

Do you mean a project or a new website? Because you have to be a US citizen to start a Kickstarter project.

Ok. :P

There's actually someone at my college who is working in a startup that is aiming to create a European Kickstarter-esque website, so hopefully there will be something soon.

Well, there's ulule. Not too much interesting there though.

[Darth Marsden]

Well, since you mention that particular site, I'd like to draw your attention to Assassin's Creed: Artefact II.

I meant website, yeah.

I'll keep an eye out on that ulule. Though it seems quite a lot of the projects are in other european languages.

Not...enough...money....

These things are coming fast... A new Kickstarter that is close to my heart has just started today: Shadowrun Returns.

It is a oldschool RPG based on the oh-so-awesome Shadowrun game system. Even if you have no idea what that is, give the pitch video a watch, it is very well done. It will also come with a level editor if you're into that sort of thing.

Yet another project I'm considering backing: Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective Adventure Mysteries. I did find the pledge video to be enjoyable as well.

Everyone should back that. Gray Matter is truly awesome.

That was mean. At least put spaces in it.

$50 000 pledged for Jane Jensens upcoming games, $250 000 is still needed. Come on people, open your wallets.

The project site is updated with information about the concepts, and how they are going to handle the difficulty level.

"What kinds of adventure games will they be? Hard? Casual?

Our plan is to have a "casual" and a "true adventure" option at the start of the game. This will allow us to provide an easier path through for those who are not hard-core players -- while allowing our 'true adventure' path to be uncompromised (and by uncompromised we mean classic Sierra-style puzzles). We're looking forward to beta-testing with our CSG members and tuning the game."

Since we're doing updates, Shadowrun Returns has hit its target after a mere 28 hours. Awesome.

I have a feeling that this will be one that gets its funding more gradually as more information is released regarding the project. The initial pitch was a bit vague, and it hasn't seemed to get a ton of media attention.

A fourth Delaware St John game is on Kickstarter...
