gamrReview's Craig Snow: "Last year saw the break-out of the Kickstarter-funded game, thanks in no small part to the immense popularity of Double Fine Adventure (now known as Broken Age). And it wasn't just a flash in the pan. Broken Age's $3,336,371 fund raising total has since been completely eclipsed. With Kickstarter games getting more and more funding we thought we'd compile a list of the five biggest Kickstarter games funded in 2013."
The MMORPG Camelot Unchained has a new launch window of late 2025, while the spin-off Final Stand: Ragnarok re-launches next month on Steam early access.
MMORPG players have been waiting for Camelot Unchained for a long time; actually, a long time would be an understand, we have been waiting for Camelot Unchained for what feels like an eternity! Fortunately, the game is still progressing, even if it is progressing slowly. City State Entertainment released their April 2022 End of Month CU Update and there is a lot happening on Camelot Unchained.
From MassivelyOP: "The waters surrounding Shroud of the Avatar continue to get muddier after a letter to investors of the game from equity crowdfunding platform SeedInvest was vaguely discussed by Catnip Games’ Chris Spears.
Readers will recall that in 2017, SOTA’s original company, the Richard Garriott-backed Portalarium, ran a nearly $800K equity crowdfunding investment round through SeedInvest. But Portalarium folded and transferred the game to Catnip in 2019 following a series of calamities, including layoffs, free-to-play, whaling, playerbase collapse, delayed rewards, Richard Garriott stepping down, the new CEO denying his role, and shuttered offices. As we have continued to cover ever since, Portalarium was legally bound to make reports to the SEC and SeedInvest but instead left its own non-accredited investors in the lurch. Last week, SeedInvest told backers Portalarium had failed to provide those required updates – the first time the platform had made any public statements about Portalarium’s delinquency at all."
