PILLARS OF ETERNITY II: DEADFIRE campaign started on Fig.

GOG.com is mentioned in supported platforms.

Linux version as well.

Good news indeed :)
I'll be pledging then.
Also, congrats on being funded!
Shouldn't be too hard to hit a couple of stretch goals now...

Wheelo. It's like a hand mower, but even dumber.

I already back it. Less than 20 hours after launch and it's already 88% funded.

While I haven't taken the time to really get into text adventures, this kickstarter looks like it could be quite entertaining.

Thaumistry: In Charm's Way

For what it's worth, they now do mention DRM-free and GOG under the FAQ "How will I get the game?":
"If you select one of the less expensive pledge tiers, you’ll be receiving a digital version of the game. You will select a platform (like Steam or DRM Free or GOG). A code will be sent to you with directions on how to redeem the code on whatever platform you selected.

If you pledge one the more expensive tiers, you’ll also get a physical version of the game (plus at least one digital code, depending on the tier). This one’s pretty simple - we’ll mail it to where you live, with no international restrictions."

Ah I see. I thought maybe there are additional things you'd want to see. Ugh, I'd love to add new platforms, especially console... but it comes down to the... budget :(

Yeah, us devs on KS tend to huddle together hahaha
Thanks for the vote of confidence. Yeah, would love to celebrate early and stop watching Kicktraq, but alas, the champagne will have to wait :D

<span class="bold">Sunless Skies</span> is up, and they offer a key on Steam or GOG for backers.

So, Mutant Football League, not to be confused with Mutant League Football (=P), is going to be a thing. A 3D NFL-Blitz like take on the original. Looks alright.

Women of Xal, a new visual novel, has been recently launched on Kickstarter and is doing quite well, despite the subject matter. All of the main characters are women of colour and it is set in an alternative matriarchal dimension, where men are second rate citizens. Seems quite interesting.

Also, Nutaku has recently launched a new crowdfunding platform Kimochi, designed specifically to fund adult video games. There are already a few projects there, but two that got my attention are:
- a visual novel inspired by the likes of FSN. What's even more noteworthy is that the developers hail from [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghana]Ghana.
Karmasutra - a beautiful looking RPG/VN hybrid that has already gotten funded, but still has quite a few days to go until the end of the campaign.

The visual novel format is great for exploring gender and societal issues, and seems to be ahead of other game genres in portraying a variety of racial and social types. This one that I backed is another example of these virtues. I will check with the folks behind this new campaign to see if they will offer a DRM-free version.

Happy Chess - an interesting approach to well-known chess topic. I know it's on mobile only, but it attracted my attention and I supported them :-)

Got a reply from the Women of Xal devs:

Thank you for your interest and support! Honestly, if Steam wasn't so popular, we'd have just said DRM-free copies by default. So, I'm all aboard sending out DRM-free copies to everyone! =)

So it looks like DRM-free is available. :)

Hey, all!

I completely forgot to let you all know that my monthly Kickstarter review article for February is live. Here's the link. As always, I look forward to your thoughts on my selections.
