Julius Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 So, Chained Echoes - a 16-bit JRPG set in a world where fantasy meets mechs - looks absolutely gorgeous! Quote Take up your sword, channel your magic or board your Mech. Chained Echoes is a 16-bit SNES style RPG set in a fantasy world where dragons are as common as piloted mechanical suits. Follow a group of heroes as they explore a land filled to the brim with charming characters, fantastic landscapes and vicious foes. Can you bring peace to a continent where war has been waged for generations and betrayal lurks around every corner? Key features • 20-25 hours of play time • Fast paced turn-based battles No random encounters; enemies can be seen running around • Tons of items to be looted, stolen or crafted • Complex skill and equipment system • Customize your own airship • Travel and fight by foot or in your Mech 16-bit SNES style graphics • Music inspired by PSX RPGs Chained Echoes combines the simplicity of classic games with modern gameplay to bring an epic and fast-paced adventure to PC, Mac and Linux in a little over 2 years. A Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4 version will be simultaneously released if the corresponding stretch goal is reached (in this case you will be able to switch the platform of your digital copy to Switch or PS4 after the campaign's end). Please keep in mind that even if the stretch goal is not reached, a Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4 port might come at a later point in time. It's still got just under four weeks left to be funded, and is nearly halfway there. Seriously considering backing it for the sprite quality and the honesty about development time - even though it looks so polished and far along already, I think it shows a lot of respect for backers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Orange Island 🍊 Kickstarter has launched. Played it at Rezzed last year and the developer is a friend of my housemate's and super nice. One of the stretch goals is a Switch port too. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/vontheodore/orange-island 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just pledged a minimum amount just to "get in", I can't spend the 100 pounds needed for the boxed NES copy at the moment. But I hope to upgrade my tier later through Backerkit, otherwise I've been told NES copies will be available later through other means (the website that also handles the Micro Mages game I bought).

You can, but like I said, I'll probably upgrade through backerkit, or I'll get it directly from BrokeStudio. At the very least I'm getting a digital copy for my Switch.

LazyBoy Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 How alive is the crowdfunding scene these days? Has it died down at all from when it exploded a couple years ago, or is it still going strong? Has covid hit the traffic behind it at all? Asking because I may be listing something on it (or an alternative site) very shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drahkon Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 No idea if anybody's interested in microscopy but: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1702213282/the-microcosmos-microscope It's a microscope developed by these guys. A wonderful channel with interesting, impressive, beautiful and fascinating videos of the microcosmos. Sadly, this is way out of my price league so I won't be able to get one, but maybe one of you is interested or you know somebody who might be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love a specialized microscope for photography purposes, but it would be be a pure niche hobby, so unless a big bag of money drops out of the sky.. I did like the look of this one, but didn't elaborately check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julius Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (which @Sméagol mentioned above, by members of the original Suikoden team and being helmed by series creator Yoshitaka Murayama) now has a publisher attached, and it's 505 Games. It's been great as a backer watching how transparent they've been about the development of the game (there's an entire section related to the realities of development), including not wanting to commit to too many platforms from the outset. It seems like Murayama getting the advice of IGA on how things went with the Bloodstained Kickstarter is paying off!

Cube Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 A very odd Kickstarter for a release of Mission in Snowdriftland. It was an online advent calendar made for Nintendo's website a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
