Today, Kickstarter revealed some pretty incredible stats. Since the site’s launch, Kickstarter has taken in over a billion dollars from pledges for all sorts of various projects. The biggest chunk of that is for video game projects, coming in at a whopping 215 million smackaroos.
OVERRIDER is a new sci-fi roguelite about hoverboarding and smashing robots, and there's a Kickstarter campaign to help get it funded.
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.
Star Citizen and a couple others lol! Hell, it might hit $100 million when its all said and done.
For real though, this is cool and the new trend for many developers seems to be cutting out the middle man. Cliffy B. and the makers of Kingdom Come are good examples.
I am very excited for KC:D and SC. I just hope it all works out great...for us and the industry.
