Sim Ant + Dungeon Keeper
Waiting for the £26k stretch goal (Mac & Linux support) to be reached before pledging. I highly doubt I'll get to do it though...

rgnrk: It's about people whining when a game they don't care about is released on GOG, as games aren't released at the expense of any other.
So true...

I want all kinds of games to be available. There are various mainstream games that I have enjoyed, but also unnoticed gems.

Spelunky. Bust-A-Move. Grisaia. Super Mario Brothers. La-Mulana. Majora's Mask. Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland. Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Metroid Prime. Human Revolution. Harvest Moon. Planescape Torment. Fate/Stay Night. DOOM. Ace Attorney. Dwarf Fortress. Judgment Rites. Okami. Diablo. Homeworld Cataclysm.

In my opinion, it is very important for GOG to have a diverse portfolio of games. No one person is identical to another, and a limited catalog won't be able to get many people as a customer for life.

The team of Blacksea Odyssey needs a financial boost, although they are already pretty far into development.
So they now have a kickstarter campaign:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/820296110/blacksea-odyssey

They plan to release on Steam and also DRM-free and they have a demo of the alpha available for download.

For people interested in making their own games, Game Art Quest is running a campaign.

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.
I just backed as I had forgotten about it until it showed up in an update for Shantae. It is over its goal of $1.5 mil by a little bit. ~60 hours left as of this post, so if you were waiting to see if it would get anywhere close, now is your chance.

PS. There is a Win/Mac/Linux version listed as well as Steam, so I'm not sure on the DRM status. I asked the creator and will update when I hear something one way or another.

They've also added stretch goals: an expanded soundtrack (by the composer for Secret of Mana) at $1.65M and an opening movie (by Titmouse and an unnamed anime studio) at $1.9M.

They stated it is DRM free on the game info but nothing about GoG, so it could be humble bundle DRM free.

Nevertheless I ask them about that in the comment section

Thanks. They mention DRM-free release in the Humble Store explicitly in rewards, but no word about GOG.

Can you please ask not just if it would be released on GOG, but if backers can actually get their rewards through GOG. It's not the same thing necessarily.

I having problems logging in now and the reset password function is not working. I would try log in as a later time.

I assume you back it but unable to make comments? I think it may be DF set a minimum backing to enable comments
https://help.fig.co/hc/en-us/articles/206555978-Why-can-t-I-comment-on-a-campaign-

Did you try increasing your pledge, comment, then reducing it to a level you are comfortable with?

I didn't back it yet. I want first to figure out if GOG would be an option for backers' rewards. Unlike Kickstarter, Fig doesn't provide any way to send messages to the campaign owners, so that's why I posted it on DF forums.

I see one of the devs answered you so good luck with your next question.

Not a game, but most definitely game related:

The Kickstarter for the English localization of visual novel "Libra of the Vampire Princess" has just started. The game is very new, as it was released only a month ago in Japan, thus there is not much trustworthy information regarding it. It's not clear if the game is good or just mediocre and it doesn't have any established fan-base in the West, but the start of the campaign is pretty strong. I think it's gonna get funded.
