Greg Micek writes: "It being in the works might be taking it a bit far. Damon Slye, the Dynamix designer whose poster we all had on our walls in the 90's, says that he's looking to raise $50,000 to work on a prototype which can then be used to run a proper crowdfunding campaign."
Hardcore Gamer: The Red Baron combat flight simulator series first took flight in 1990. Developer Dynamix and publisher Sierra had quite a success on their hands, which led to multiple sequels throughout the 90s.
Brad Jones writes: "Late last year, flight simulator legend Damon Slye returned to the genre with a Kickstarter campaign intended resurrect the dormant Red Baron series. The first game in the series, released in 1990, was widely regarded as one of the very best examples of the flight sim genre. So why did the Kickstarter fail?"
indiePub has published its weekly look at new and notable crowd funding efforts by indie game developers.
This week’s Indie Pleas include: Confederate Express, a pixel tactical-survival RPG, Alone, a virtual reality survival horror for the Oculus Rift; Night In The Woods, a gorgeous story-based adventure game about life and changes; Eden Star, a first-person survival creation game; and Sentris, a music-based game where everyone can be a musician.
I don't mind funding games but they need to be at least comeing to one of the big 3 consules. I don't play on pc,iphone or anything like that.
From my understanding, it is most cost-effective to release on PC/mobile first. Developing for console is a long and expensive road that some starting indie devs can't afford right away.
