With an endless supply of similar looking games on Kickstarter, projects have a difficult time standing out. While many developers can still manage to entice backers with visual styles that, while conventional, are skillfully rendered, the games themselves may lack personality. That’s why I’ve decided to look for Kickstarter projects that are brimming with personality, even if they’re not much different aesthetically from their competition. Script Kiddies shows us what programming culture is like through retro lenses. Ray’s the Dead creates a convincing argument that it’s better to be on the side the undead in a zombie apocalypse. And A Rite of the Stars shows us the evolution of the point-and-click genre through the theme of rite of passage. Which game do you find to be the most charismatic?
"The Seville-based (Spain) indie games developer QUICKFIRE GAMES are today very proud and happy to announce that their the tactical rpg “Prelude Dark Pain“, is now fully funded via Kickstarter." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
A Rite from the Stars comes back in a resmastered edition that doesn't do much to improve a game that isn't very good in the first place.

This looks like a hell of a cool game right here. I like stuff that breaks the fourth wall.
