gandalf.nho: Ah, that RPG with 17 years of production... Edit: only one digital tier? Bad start
GAH 20 minute pitch video! Also, that is a very small view screen.

This guy... is insane. 0_o

The more you point it out, the more irresistible the idea of pledging to him sounds to me ;P...

PaulDenton: Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see this game, but even with private investors the game he tells about will cost several 10 Mio. $ at least IMHO.
avatar
ArchonPC: Yep, it will. It's always a good thing to warn people anyway. Still, the only thing which really frightened me in the Penny Arcade report what the reference to Peter Molyneux : we could end with the Fable of space sims :D
You are fully right on that point, any Peter Molyneux reference makes me want to run away screaming. I still think except for Syndicate and Dungeon Keeper (ok also Magic Carpet and the like) he basically makes Populous over and over again and i could not care less :D
Anyway,

Strategists have fun ;)

It's been an hour, and nobody's redeemed this great game? You people make me so mad.

Really? Still says it's valid on my end (but I already own it). Maybe it's a bug with the gifting system.

I tried and got the message "Code already used", so a bug then, yes.

Somebody must've been "sitting on it" thus blocking it... 'cause I just redeemed it! \o/
(pardon, this is one of those irresistible titles)

Cheers PaulDenton!
One small update, Ring Runner have released a new version of their demo (described as "pre-alpha" so maybe it's just a written specification rather than actual code?).

More projects, more, more, more!

PC Games:
Atonement Chronicles: Fall of Nations - An Indie RPG (Nov 1)
Could be "yet another action RPG" but here you play one of the most evil people in the world, betrayed and bent on revenge.
Manchuria: The War of Resources (Nov 7)
Turn based historical strategy game, covering the Chinese civil war/Japanese invasion - looks rather simple at the moment but could grow into something special for hardcore players.
Autumn's Realm: A Choose Your Own Adventure RPG (Nov 9)
Top-down fantasy RPG promising "real choices and changes to the storyline". Not the first to promise this, but does seem to have a better business plan than others - probably one to watch for now.
Fabled Fortress (Nov 10)
Potentially intriguing mix of RTS and strategy, but for iOS initially with PC/Mac/Android release to follow.

Boardgames:
RETRO Game Saver - Plastic container for vintage board games (Oct 30)
Potentially useful for boardgame collectors who've lost their original boxes.
Legendary Realms Terrain - Themed Rooms (Oct 31)
Cool-looking but rather pricey and specialised accessory for tabletop players.
The Keep System for Game Storage and Travel (Oct 31)
It's back! With a funding goal one third that of the original project, this could be an answer to travelling gamers' prayers.
Impudent Mortal's Gaming Terrain (Oct 31)
A set of 3D model buildings you can set fire to!
PURGE: Sins of Science- The 1st Real Time Strategy Card Game (Oct 31)
A good-looking customisable futuristic super-weapon "RTS" card game.
FallingSky Games - Wargame Terrain (Oct 31)
Modular wargaming terrain set with some good-value packages on offer - and only $10 extra for international backer!
Game Grids (Nov 4) Pathologically tidy Carcassonne player? You'll need this then - so you can spend your time keeping the grids neat and aligned instead...
Storm the Castle! Co-op Fantasy Battle Board Game (Nov 5)
Looks like fun - solo, co-operative and diplomacy-style ("stab everyone in the back") play on offer, with a pile of stretch goals to demolish!
Medieval Village for 28mm Gamers (Nov 5)
A very nice and realistic (check out the stocks, gallows and ducking stool) village modular building collection.
Little Bighorn Rummy (Nov 8)
A variation on rummy, where the Custer card loses you points!
Wood Dungeon Tiles for RPGs & Wargaming ~ GuiltyGoblinGames (Nov 11)
Plywood, laser-engraved dungeon tiles - give your dungeon a flooring makeover!
Pint Craft (Nov 26)
A game of beer brewing with coasters and bottle openers on offer as extras.

RPG:
A Tragedy in Five Acts (Nov 5)
A Shakespearean RPG? Seems way-out but given one of the producers is from White Wolf, this could be worth watching.
Spears of the Dawn RPG (Nov 8)
Old-school African-inspired RPG.

Technology:
Jorno — the pocketable, folding, bluetooth keyboard (Oct 17)

Good idea. Maybe I'll use Notepad too to edit the OP.

Hehe,

I was also wondering why nobody took it and am still not sure if I caused the problem myself... as I clicked on the link (because the mail did not contain the code anymore? Is that new?).

Afterwards I copied it from my gifted games summary, however there it said not redeemed. So dunno... sorry for all who tried but it did not work.
