Kickstarter could be the start of something very interesting in gaming. A service which allows individuals to get passion projects funded directly by the people who care about them. Since a few games have had successful Kickstarter campaigns, the service has exploded with developers looking to get their ideas made into games without having to depend on publishers. While crowdfunding could let games that wouldn’t otherwise exist get made, there could be a dark side as well. What happens if a developer’s vision outpaces their grasp, and they can’t deliver the game they promised? Even so, this could be a revolution in the indie games space. Here are ten Kickstarter games, some funded, some not, that are worth watching.
Cinnabunny and Time is Honey are currently up to be crowdfunded on Kickstarter right now. They're both adorable.
A Kickstarter campaign for Scrylight, an AR game that lets players hunt ghosts, is launching in October.
"The Darmstadt-based (Germany) indie games publisher rokaplay and indie games developer Cyberwave, are today very proud and happy to announce that their beautiful and cozy survival/crafting game “Solarpunk“, managed to become fully funded via Kickstarter on June 29th (2023)!
And it's all thanks to the 6,312 backers who pledged a total of €305,266 (which is 10 times the game's original goal of €30,000!) to Solarpunk's Kickstarter campaign." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
