I agree, it's become obvious that Dark Meridian is not going to make it's funding goal, so I'm placing that money on Spate, which has a fairly good chance of hitting the $12k mark that they're asking for. If DM happens to make it, I'll find the money, but with so much left to go with so little being pledged, I don't think it's likely to get funded.

If something happens that causes me to lose faith in both, I can just take my money elsewhere, or really just cancel the pledge.

Side note. Serpent's tongue is within $500 of hitting their $80k goal for anybody that's interested.

Not everyone in their life has taken a public speaking class. :P

And how does stuff like this look horrible?

Rubicon: an Asteroid-like game with features borrowed from Mechwarrior, and possibly EVN/Elite.

Zombicide

1 hour left!

Anime is a very contentious subject.

Kickstarter news:

Jane Jensen is going to make 2 games, second game TBA. So a $50 pledge now gets you two games (plus soundtracks, design bibles for the new games, GK1 and 2 ebooks, beta test participation).

Portal had an announcement of an announcement on how they're planning to meet the goal. Actual announcement to come in a few days.

Gunship: First Strike's Kickstarter has ended, but pre-orders are up now. Simply post on this thread if you'd like to pre-order. You'll still get a better deal than MSRP, but probably slightly more expensive than Kickstarter backers.

Remake for Battle Chess,they want some help for the multiplayer part ;)

Apparently - this is legit. I doubt it'll get Interplay right back on their feet but every little thing helps, right ?

Oh yes it is legit. The game was nice back in the day so this will be a good remake I hope

Haunts: The Manse Macabre is a horror turn-based strategy game, where you control either the haunts or the good guys. I have to say, there's just something really attractive about this game.

Also adding Wrong Chemistry. Looks fun.

Just a plug for OGRE, it's nearly done funding. I guarantee these games will be super expensive on launch (the game box started at 14 pounds and due to Kickstarter now has way more stuff in it), so consider getting yours now and get a tshirt or whatever thrown in if you love this stuff!

If you have some spare $$s lying around, maybe you would like to throw it at this project.
