Little more than a week ago, we briefly featured Skyjacker as one of the top titles being funded via Kickstarter. Described by developers Digitilus as a cross between Lord of the Rings, Grand Theft Auto and Need for Speed (albeit set in outer space), Skyjacker is a throwback to old-fashioned space combat games. Pledging $15 will get you not only the game, but a special 30-track Soundtrack Pack and a set of cool Skyjacker wallpapers. As of yesterday, Digitilus announced that they had just reached the elusive $100,000 halfway mark. Unfortunately, the Los Angeles-based space game developer has less than two days to reach their set target of $200,000.
Independent game developer Digitilus LLC today launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for its first-person space combat simulator, SKYJACKER.
Indie Game HQ has provided a list of their five best Kickstarter campaigns that failed but showed great potential. Luckily, it appears as though all of these Kickstarter projects will still see the light of day, albeit at a much later date than anticipated.

I backed Carmageddon: Reincarnation and the fan-service I've gotten from the team ever since has been worth the price of admission alone. :)
