Julie Morley writes: "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward is a novel written by H.P. Lovecraft that was published after his death. Senscape has taken the story of The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, researched it tediously, and is adapting it into video game form. TCCDW will solely rely on story, mood, and atmosphere to really stir up the player's anxiety, rather than through the use of weaponry and sprinting from enemies."
Serena Nelson writes: " I want to specifically take a look at ten Kickstarter horror adventure games that didn't hit the mark that should have been easily funded. Horror is a popular genre, especially during this time of year as All Hallow's Eve approaches. What better way than to scare you with some unfortunate tales of loss? Read on, if you dare."
Agree with about half the list. Big outlier is shadow of the eternals. Glad that one failed both times.
Serena Nelson writes: "Kickstarter, and crowdfunding in general, is a unique experience that allows ideas to come to fruition and it lets a developer keep in touch with their fan base. And the good ones keep this conversation open long after the campaign ends, going so far to give as much transparency to the ongoing development as possible. I've talked a bit about projects that fail the first time but manage to make it after a second attempt, but what about those who do get funding out of the gate but still manage to have problems?"
Serena Nelson writes: "Kickstarter is a popular site to get ideas and projects funded without the need for a publisher. Unfortunately, not all campaigns make it. For most, the success or failure rests in the first try. It's either you get funding or you don't. For those that don't make it, some still persevere and return at a later date to grab for the gold and hope a second time being the charm. But, why would you want to "double down" on an idea and put yourself on the chopping block a second time?"
I can't wait for this. :D Scratches was great, and The Case of Charles Dexter Ward is one of my favorite Lovecraft stories!
