Lots of fun projects this week!

First, we have The Tale of Alltynex – a localization for a collection of Japanese indie shmups. Nyu Media has done great good work in the past in bringing over niche Japanese titles so I hope this kickstarter exceeds their wildest expectations. It’s already passed its goal of $5k with $9k raised and 26 days left to go.

Next, we have two fun-looking pixel-art homages to Metroid, Megaman, and the like – A.N.N.E. and Rex Rocket. Of the two, A.N.N.E. is doing a lot better with $30k raised ($70k goal) whereas Rex Rocket only has $1k of its $6k goal, but they both look very promising.

Jagged Alliance: Flashback is a new installment in the classic turn-based tactical combat game. It doesn’t look like they have a whole lot to show yet but their team has a decent pedigree (they’re doing the new Space Hulk game) so we’ll see how it goes. They’re at $82k of their $350k goal with 27 days left.

Finally, we have Theme Park Studio – a simulation game that lets you design your own theme park & various rides. It’s a $37k of its $80k goal.
