The 7th guest has reached 25% of its goal after changes to its pitch video:

and [url=http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/g3studios/deathfire-ruins-of-nethermore]Deathfire are both about to end in less than 48 hours. Deathfire has a new pitch video, so you might want to give it another look.

A classic pixel art platformer and generative music experience where the soundtrack changes with how you play the game:
Pixelsphere - A Musical Adventure

Looks like Deathfire wont make it .....even though its greenlit

Coming to Kickstarter soon I think.

The awkward answer is nothing in particular! anything that grabs my attention and feels inspiring in some way.

The genres I play more than any other tend to be RPG (more BG2 and KOTOR than 'action rpg' like Diablo) single player, adventure FPS (STALKER, Bioshock) and TPP adventures (Tomb Raider, Wind Waker, Ico) This year I bought Waking Mars, Tiny & Big, wishlisted a few games like Dust: Elysian Tail (SOTN is my favourite 2D platform game) and The Stanley Parable just because I'm not sure what it is and it looks a bit different.

I skimmed back through RockPaperShotgun's archive to see if anything caught my eye, are there any better sites that cover the indie/crowdfunded PC games?

Some of the successfull RPG campaigns I backed and can suggest to you:
Expeditions: Conquistador
Arakion
Antharion
Sui Generis
Forsaken Fortress
Meriwether: An American Epic
Consortium
Frontiers
Balrum
The Mandate
Dex
Grim Dawn is a ARPG, but if you like Titan Quest, is a must.
And of course the big ones: Wasteland 2, Torment: Tides of Numenera, Project Eternity, Divinity: Original Sin and Shadowrun: Returns


Platfomers:
Freedom Planet
Spud's Quest
Jetpack 2
Noctemis
Shantae
Hot Tin Roof

Nice selection Gandalf :).

thanks for taking the time to post the list :) I've saved a copy and I'll read up about each one in the next few days/weeks

Are you interested in tabletop games?

If you like visual Novels check this out maybe we can get it on GOG http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1500482054/sunrider?ref=category I don't believe it has any obscene content.

Is this like the first time a game will be released for free from Kickstarter backing

I guess i don't know of any others.
