"...after a rather abhorrent slew of reasonably recent Leisure Suit Larry games it would surely have been a more powerful statement for Al Lowe to present the Kickstarter community (if such a thing exists) with a new Leisure Suit Larry game which would prove that a reimagined Larry Laffer could happily exist in the modern world where things like sexual nihilism are now looked down upon, but humour is no more progressive." Writes Laser Lemming.
Gamepressure: You know that feeling when your favorite game is getting panned by critics? So do we; that's why we've prepared a list of games that – despite mediocre reviews at launch – are adored today.
Serena Nelson writes: "Here's the thing. Despite there being so many adventure game projects, they're still a small part of crowdfunding games as a whole. It's also an incredibly niche genre compared to shooters and RPGs. Which means that unless you're asking for a fraction of what you really need chances are good that you'll end up not making it. Outside of titles like Broken Age, Dreamfall Chapters and Obduction, none have breached seven digits."
Serena Nelson writes: "Kickstarter is well-known for being a platform to get ideas funded by fans and without the need to have a publisher breathing down their collective necks. And while it should be enough to give from the kindness of one's own heart there still needs to be a carrot dangling from the stick to make backers reach deep into their wallets. And that's where the reward tiers come into play."
