No problem! I'm curious myself too if there are good projects worth tracking.

Hermes Spacecraft and Spirit of the Century Presents: The Dinocalypse Trilogy are appealing to me.

Added Starlight Inception.

erm.... $10 for a phone game???...

Nekro

"Nekro is an overhead, randomly generated action game about summoning evil forces of darkness to do your bidding!

Hailing from the era of great classics such as Myth: The Fallen Lords, Giants: Citizen Kabuto, Dungeon Keeper and more, we are creating a game rooted deep in PC gaming's history, but with all the flourishes you've come to expect from a modern experience." Offered DRM-free.

Vigrior : Maneuver Warfare

"VIGRIOR (we don't blame you if it takes a few tries to pronounce) is a multi-platform real-time strategy game with a novel gameplay mechanic. Instead of controlling manually selected groups of individual units, you'll control a customized bundle of ships that act as a single, coherent unit; a Fleet. The ships in each fleet fly synchronized with each other, each ship type with a special set of skills." DRM status not mentioned - query sent to developers.

Tempus Chronicle - The RPG Series

"Tempus Chronicle is about two strong and brilliant brothers who repair a mysterious pocket watch that was left to them by their mother three years ago. The pocket watch triggers a gate of green light that takes them on a journey through time and space. The first epoch that they stumble upon is the Titanic in 1912. There, they meet two groups of warring time travelers: the Time Academy, who believe that the past must be preserved, and the Time Alters, who believe that they have the right to change history for the better. Every week, we'll dive deeper and deeper into the storyline and open a new epoch to explore. From the Wild West, to the Medieval Ages, to the 1980's, and even to the Future..." Episodic content - to be delivered via Facebook. :(

I'm sure others will be quick to poo-poo that idea. :)

Interesting games.Tempus and Nekro im vaguely interested in $75 tier for the tshirt (im a sucker for bits and bobs related to games) but pricing is tad high.
Tempus = wtf Facebook to deliver the episodes?. Flash game :/.Not a fan of the artwork.
tries to be anime like but not quite
Nekro - check this part of their FAQ

"Will this game be offered DRM-free? (i.e. possible to install and run on a standalone PC without an Internet connection).
Short answer; yes. We are gunning for Steam and Desura, and I believe their platforms support a DRM-free model.

The game will also feature solo play, and will not require a web connection. We're going to be introducing network play possible through LAN, and using a server module that will be open source.

To answer your question in full, we will have to research our options. We do want our game to be flexible to the user, and we don't feel like playing "network nanny" with cumbersome authentication technology."

Steam is DRM last time i checked....

Hmmm - Shadowrun Returns - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1613260297/shadowrun-returns

Some games sold on there aren't really coupled to it though. Say, all DOSBox'd games, for example.

Seems like I keep miss-reading what's being written. I read "I'm a sucker for tits and boobs related to games". Well, I know I am.

I can't believe the number of video game kick-starter projects expecting to raise several hundred thousand dollars....

their expectations appear to be marginally unrealistic.

I think that the problem is that they're all appearing in quick succession. I like the idea of the Shadowrun game. I like the setting and might have even have the RPG book (though I didn't play it), I like that it's for PC and tablets, and I like that they plan to release the level editor. But it's yet another game project to compete with all the other Kickstarter projects currently running, and that makes it a harder sale.

Definitely backing Shadowrun Returns, and maybe Nekro. Vigrior looks rather interesting, but we'll see.

This.

But I think those guys not gonna make it.
