It's time for a weekly look into gaming campaigns on Kickstarter.
Starting off as always with a little update on some of our previously covered campaigns, we don't have any finished campaigns or met goals this week but we still have some good news. Sunless Skies is 3 days away from its campaign end and has already made over 3 times its goal, mainly owing to how popular the game it is a sequel to (Sunless Seas) did. It should be just as good if not better. RUiN is still left with 9 days to go, but it has just under a tenth of its goal to make up in that time, which is perfectly manageable.
There's some not so good news though, and two of our previously covered campaigns are running out of time with a lot to do still. Aegis: Innocence has only made one-sixth of its goal so far and has just over a week to go; while Pillow Zombies TD has 38 hours to go and almost $27,000 left of its goal to make. Needless to say the latter probably won't make it but I still have hopes for Aegis: Innocence. It's a game about a guardian against nightmares who takes the form of a warrior teddy bear, what's not to love?
Meanwhile, still no change on the status of Elite: Dangerous Role Playing Game.
UNAUTHORIZED

First up, we have a card game about oppressive states and underground churches.
An underground church is struggling to survive in a state that wants to hunt down and stamp out all members. A game for 3-6 players, each player starts off with a role card and seven randomly chosen experience cards that determines loyalty to either the State or the Church. At the end of the game, the Church will win if the majority of players are loyal to it and at least one is not in prison, while the State wins otherwise.
UNAUTHORIZED has a $3,000 target, of which it has already more than doubled. It has 9 more days to go to raised even more.
Behind the Rose

Next up we have a turn-based RPG inspired by the 8 and 16-bit eras.
Behind the Rose is described as being 'surreal' and takes place in a world known as Starcross, in which a Heavenly Queen once ruled. One day though an entity came taking the form of the Dark Beast and raising the population as Undeads, bringing forth Demons. When the Heavenly Queen confronted the Dark Beast, she was able to drive them back to Starcross Mountain, only to fall victim to a trap and become sealed away, leaving Starcross cursed without her. Now you seek to release her and save Starcross.
Behind the Rose has 26 days to go to make its $10,000 goal, of which is has raised $2,227 so far.

Third, we have this game which takes place in Russia at the beginning of the last century.
Hand-drawn and consisting of turn-based strategy play, Legion 1917 sets you in a story-driven environment as you make choices to progress forward. The country of Russia is in the grip of civil war and an empire falling to bits, as a new government rising seems to be at war with its own people. You must make your way across the landscape, fighting, talking and surviving to hopefully find a train back to your own home.
Legion 1917: Rise of the Bolsheviks has made €2,267 of its €65,000 goal, with 29 days to go.
Xenomorph

Finally we have a 2D survival game in which you are alone on a derelict spacecraft, but not alone.
Listed as a "a story driven sci-fi action/exploration/survival game" on the campaign page, Xenomorph sees you having to make use of the resources left behind by the last crew to craft, survive and fight off alien monster still alive on the craft. The view is a pixel-based top-down style, and you must uncover the story of the last crew and just what happened. Besides being attacked by aliens, probably.
Xenomorph has a £6,000 target with 17 days to go. It has made £258 so far.
