Time for your weekly Kickstarter update, at least as far as the gaming related ones go.
To start off with good news, Wanderer's campaign has come to an end and the game was funded $81,216 which meant two stretch goals were also funded to add two bonus character to the game. Well done to Red Cloak Games, and can't wait to hear more about it.
Otherwise there isn't much more good news to report. No other previously unended Kickstarters covered in the past have reached their goals, and Quatros Origins has ended theirs far short of their €15,000 goal. A whole bunch of the previously covered projects have a long way to go with little time to do it in with Econia, Cold Blooded, Fathoms, Crematory Bot, Super Axe Boy and Dusty Raging Fists all in trouble.

Tunnels & Traps
We'll start off with the weekly card game, and one that's based around an RPG-esque setting.
The sub-title for this campaign page is "Card Game meets RPG! Explore the cave! Collect power ups! Harass your friends! Kill the dragon in the middle for fame & glory!" which explains its premise rather neatly. The game apparently came about because the developers wanted more than 'just another "kill the other person" card game' and is played through the use of three decks - a tunnel deck which determines the routes to the dragon, an Exploration deck that can be either a monster, trap or other card and a Loot Deck which is drawn from if you win combat against a drawn monster card.
Tunnels & Traps is asking for $6,000 of which it has made $115 already with 26 days left to go.

Furrious's Conquest (Development)
Next up is a single player RPG with some 'furry' elements and a low goal to boot.
Furrious' Conquest sees the titular hero teaming up with a half-dragon, Gofri, to take one DraGula - a villian who has taken control of a city called Dragonia and kidnapped Gofri's sister. The only problem is the populace of the city is divided between those who support DraGula and those who wish to fight against him but are afraid to do so alone. There's also a demo of the game if you want to try it out before you back.
Furrious' Conquest is asking for only $375 with 59 days to go. It has yet to make anything though.

Apocalypse Hotel
In a world of very similar apocalypse survival games, it's nice to see unique ones come along every now and then.
Apocalypse Hotel is a game where you have to run a safehouse hotel during the apocalypse, holding off zombies, fixing up rooms to attract survivors to stay and even being able to put on zombie pit fights to entertain your guests. Really. You can also journey out into the city nearby to scavenge supplies, more survivors and can be accompanied by some of your survivor guests or your pet zombie dog when you do so.
Apocalypse Hotel has made £140 of its £2,300 goal so far, with 28 days to go.

Cycle of Tyrfing
This game is a rogue-like actions platformer with a story borrowed from Norse mythology.
Cycle of Tyrfing follows Hervor, the daughter of Angantyr who claims the sword “Tyrfing” from her fallen father. She is led down to Hel by a a demonic figure called Fyulgjir to learn the circumstances of her father's death. However while Tyrfing grants superhuman abilities to its wielder it also comes with heavy cost to both them and others around them. The fighting of enemies makes use of sword combat as well as magical abilities that can spawn other weapons to use on enemies.
Cycle of Tyrfing has 43 days to go and has made $259 CAD of $20,000 CAD.

Chronicles of Time
Lastly for this week we have a Open World Action-Adventure RPG with a co-op element.
Chronicles of Time can support up to 4 players in co-operative play as they venture into the land of Natrius which once saw complete economic stability until a newly discovered fuel source turned the creatures of the world hostile, leading to the inhabited areas constructing barriers to protect themselves from the wild creatures. Barriers that can only be fuelled by the fuel source that caused the problem in the first place, leading to a vicious cycle. Eventually war came to the land and so our heroes in this game set off to find a way to travel back in time to stop the discovery of the fuel source before it becomes a problem.
Chronicles of Time has made $1,475 of its $5,300 goal with 27 more days to go.
