[BLOG] Kickstarter Gaming Round-Up: Jan 23rd

Welcome to your weekly update on things happening within the Kickstarter Gaming campaigns currently running.



As always, we start with a recap on previously covered campaigns. It's a short recap this week, as last week we basically refreshed our list. Elite: Dangerous Role Playing Game has made its target with plenty more time to go in its campaign, and Pixel Princess Blitz has a lot of funding with plenty of time to finish up and reach its own goal. Best of luck to the campaign runners for that one.







Project Life

First up we have a 2D sandbox game that tries to take the best and make it better.



Built with concepts and ideas borrowed from other games of this genre, Project Life is an attempt to combine the best elements of the survival sandbox game and make it amazing. There will be some degree of 'realism' in that creatures in the world will have some sort of AI to dictate actions, relationships with other creatures in the world as well as time passing to allow them to age. The graphics maybe aren't the best, but such things can be updated if the game gets funded if the developer plans to.



Project Life has 28 days to go to make its full £2,000 target, of which it still has to make any.







LEGRAND LEGACY - Tale of the Fatebounds

Next up we have a game that's already in pre-Alpha.



Legrand Legacy is set in a world that is in the grip of a war between two kingdoms that makes life chaotic. You play as a young slave named Finn who wakes up without any memory of how he got to where he is, yet quickly discovers that he is in possession of strange and mysterious powers. You must now fight to prevent the 'Second Coming' and try to restore balance to a war-torn world, as something much darker waits in the wings for the stage to be set...



Legrand Legacy has a £40,000 goal and has 24 days to go. It has made £27,609 so far.











The Pedestrian

Next up is a 2d puzzler, with a 3d element to it.



The Pedestrian takes you into the world of 'signs', as you try to connect road signs, restroom signs and more to make your way across the world as well as solving puzzles contained within them too to continue to advance. It's a creative idea, and we're seeing a lot of indies take us into worlds inside 'mundane' objects more and more now a days. The Pedestrian already has a playable demo available too, so you can try before you pledge!



The Pedestrian has made $10,083 of its $21,000 goal, and has 23 more days to go.











Pitch Deck

Finally, we round off with a game about pitching bad ideas.



Pitch Deck is a card game that combines weird ideas with real companies, and challenges people to make up pitches for ideas. It basically takes the mick out of terrible startup ideas, and that was what the makers themed it around, working for a year to get it 'perfect'. There's even a $5,000 tier for companies to get their own company included in the game.



Pitch Deck has a $20,000 target and 23 days to go. It has made that goal already - so this is not a failed startup at all!
Yes that's Minecraft-me in my av. Done by Reiu who is damn talented!
