I feel bad for these guys: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bumblebee/days-of-dawn-discover-the-magic/posts/406670

Their game is called Days of Dawn and it's their second attempt. They're even over 60% of the way this time but with only just over 50 hours left.

They can't seem to catch a break.

Nintendo have given them a Wii U devkit-that's pretty big news for a unfunded kickstarter to already appear on a home console.

Yeah I just read about that.

Well it seems like they'll still be in a good position even if this fails then.

The only problem is Nintendo have only given "permission" or registered them for Wii U and not fund them I think which still brings the question of what happens if this fails, but if the campaign succeeds,

"I hereby promise: If we make it through this campaign successfully there will be a WiiU-version of the game. We may come back later for another WiiU-specific funding, we may find a publisher, we may even do it all on our own, but it will come."

Hopefully the Wii U exposure will be enough to finish the campaign's funding.

I've been trying to advertise them a little (see this thread for example), but personally I think that their mistake the second time was raising the prices. I think that if they had left the reward tiers as on the first Kickstarter they would have gotten the vast majority of backers back early on, and would have had several weeks to get from $30k to $50k. As is they only now reached the sum of they got the first time.

When I initially read their pledge, there were some comments from people who'd pledged the first time around, asking them to increase the number of early bird slots so they could have a shot at them, but the devs didn't seem too amenable to that. =\

Don't know if these were mentioned:

NanoLight - The world's most energy efficient lightbulb!

Next Generation LiveCode (Open Source)

LiveCode doesn't have much time left and is still at only 60%. I hope it does make it, because I think it's a worthwhile platform and creating a new generation and making it open source would be very nice.
