Niggles: Odd question.Is Skullgirls actually drm free? (if i remember it was supposed to be back on the original crowdsourcing effort).

RayRay13000: No, they didn't say anything about that in the original campaign (at least from what I remember and taking a quick look back). It's DRM Free now (at least from the latest Humble Bundle that's out now), but they didn't mention having a DRM-Free build during the campaign. Having a DRM-Free build now makes more sense since much of their campaign work (updates, characters, soundtrack, etc.) is mostly finished.

Regarding this Indivisible project, I have very little hope that they'll even make their goal. I don't remember any video game campaigns on Indiegogo every reaching that amount, and their previous project didn't get to $1 million. Unless they have more than word of mouth to get people's attention, I don't see this project getting funded. Either way, best of luck to them.

Edit: I should've said video game projects on Indiegogo, since looking at highest pledged projects there were projects on there that made over $1 million.

peacef5rog: Apparently Indiegogo specifically requested they run the campaign there because it was the site's best chance at breaking $1 million. I'm increasingly pessimistic about their chances, too, which disappoints me both because I was looking forward to this game and because they did everything we say crowdfunding campaigns should do - playable demo, honest budget and release date, transparency about publishing deals - and aren't being rewarded for it.

Gnostic: That's because Indiegogo reputation is not so good.

I think the crowdfunding donors is getting mature and gravitate towards better crowdfunding practices, thus kickstarter has long since overtaken indiegogo despite indiegogo start eariler and "WAS" larger

I initially wanted to support Indiegogo because monopoly is a bad thing, but Indiegogo is just not really worth my effort. see the following link

peacef5rog: On the other hand, Indiegogo takes a smaller cut from projects (8% vs 12%, I believe?). Your point about their reputation is true, though; they've always seemed a little seedier than Kickstarter. I guess my assumption is that no crowdfunding platform is going to do much to protect me in the event a project goes bad, so I'm better off trusting Lab Zero on Indiegogo than, say, Molyneux on Kickstarter.

rgnrk: <span class="bold">Memoranda</span>

Memoranda tells the tale of a young woman who can’t remember things very clearly, especially her own name. In order to restore her memories, players must guide her through a surreal adventure that leads even into her own dreams.

Classic 2D Point & Click adventure game, with IMO, a great aesthetic.

(No info yet on DRM-Free status. I'll have to ask)

samlii: This one looks like a fun P&C adventure

Tekkaman-James: Oh, man. This one's a biggie:

<span class="bold">Friday the 13th: The Game</span> - A 1v7 multiplayer horror game where Jason terrorizes the counselors of Camp Crystal Lake once more.

This started out as a different game, "Slasher Vol. 1: Summer Camp" which took more than a bit of inspiration from Friday the 13th. By a wonderful twist of fate, the devs were able to meet the franchise's creator, Sean S. Cunningham and he granted them the license to make their game an official Friday the 13th game. Makeup maestro, Tom Savini, will be designing the various deaths and creating a new look for Jason. Kane Hodder, long-time Jason actor, will be doing mo-cap for Jason. And, to top it all off, the game's score will be done by the composer for the original film, Harry Manfredini. Needless to say, the pedigree is strong with this one.

The game will be available on PC, Xbox One and PS4. I currently have a message out to the devs to find out if the game will be available DRM-Free. I will update this post once I get a response.

peacef5rog: is a Metroidvania/JRPG (really!) from Lab Zero, the creators of Skullgirls. They've actually done the right thing and made [url=http://www.labzerogames.com/indivisible-prototype_win.zip]a prototype demo available for free, which shows off the battle and exploration mechanics and some of the (gorgeous) character and enemy art.
Their expected release date is January 2018, but backers will receive a regularly updated, spoiler-free beta version in the meantime. They're looking to raise $1.5 million on Indiegogo (fixed funding; you'll get your money back if they don't meet the goal), which will be backed up by another $2 million from their publisher should they succeed; if not, the project's cancelled.
Give the demo a try (Note that you'll have to install DirectX 9 if you're on Windows 8 or 10; Mac and Linux versions are due soon); it's pretty impressive and I'm definitely excited about the potential for this thing. Lab Zero massively over-delivered on their Skullgirls crowdfunding promises despite a bunch of outside interference, so they've earned my trust.
