Virtual Plague Studios has launched a Kickstarter seeking $10,000 for their 2.5D metroidvania Johnny Reboot and The Legendary Update.
Playing as the virus exterminator Johnny, you’ll fight against Morrigan, a civilian driven by hatred to destroy her own own kind – the Bytes.
… get it?
It’s suitably cheesy for an old-school styled adventure, but the vast digital world has a deeper theme which comes from the heart.
Johnny, as a reflection of the game’s creator Martyn Tranter, suffers from agoraphobia, a fear of being outside your safety zone. As a prisoner in a self-made cage, Johnny must face his fears and overcome the greatest obstacle to defeat Morrigan and ‘The Phantom Virus”.
Tranter wants to show people what the world looks like to an agoraphobic and show sufferers that they can overcome their fears.
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.
