Supreme Commander was published by THQ, Supreme Commander 2 by Square Enix, Space Siege by Sega. (Going by the Wikipedia page.) Their involvement with Microsoft seems to have been limited to the Dungeon Siege games and Age of Empires Online.

Vendetta Online is an existing 3D space MMORPG for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and Win8/RT which they're interested in expanding and porting to the iPad. (Found about it on Slashdot.)

Woohooo!

An Honest Liar: The Amazing Randi Story
A documentary about James Randi, renowned magician/escape artist/debunker of psychics, faith healers, fortune tellers, and other hoaxes and cons. Sounds like quite a life story.

That Inherit the Earth 2-video actually managed to make Hero-U's video look good. Not optimistic about the campaign.

Strangely enough, I see they're selling the original through their own webstore. I know another store that should start selling it... :-)

I kinda liked the looks of this: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/896834116/the-90s-arcade-racer

Gun Metal Games is working on Interface Zero 2.0, the second edition of the highly praised Interface Zero tabletop cyberpunk RPG.

Unwritten has an update on its gameplay.

The game gets this write-up at RPS: There's quite a number of people here who really like King of Dragon Pass if I'm not mistaken, so check it out. Pledge if you're inclined.

I'm sure it's interesting, but he's just as bad as the people he debunks;

EDIT: Not that I want to derail the thread, but his level of science is laughable, not any better than the level of the folks he's debunking.

That Inherit the Earth 2 Kickstarter looks like they aren't even trying to reel in any other people than the fans of the original. They could at least show what kind of a game the original was, as I don't think it was THAT popular back in the day.

If you enjoy good country or blues-y music, consider pledging to Littlewolf. The song "Gone By Morning" convinced me to pledge. The project is approaching its goal but still has a ways to go and only 5 to 6 days to make it.

Yeah, there are a couple issues with the Inherit the Earth 2 kickstarter.


1) No trailer that shows the gameplay, art style, or personality of the game.
2) Among the reward tiers, they are not selling the original Inherit the Earth.
3) They haven't distributed the original through Steam, GOG, or any other popular channel. This is very bad, because no one has heard of the game.
4) The goal is far too ambitious. They should aim for something more reasonable like $20,000 or so, then have stretch goals.

I am really doubting the kickstarter now, because they seem to lack the basics needed to help make the game a reality. Looking now at the page, there is only 33 backers. That is very significant, because it shows that Wyrmkeep has failed to capture the attention of anyone who isn't familiar with the original game. I want to like Inherit the Earth 2, but the kickstarter doesn't excite me.

Launch date seems to be January 23rd 10am PST 6pm GMT.However, their digital store shows January 24th....

Has anyone got music kickstarters they can recommend? (littlewolf aside)

It looks awesome and game is almost complete :). Will be interesting to see how it goes.

I've been totally taken in by this kickstarter project called Artizens:

Love the concept, I hope it takes off for them.
