The Video Game Kickstarter Report – Week of April 12

Torment: Tides of Numenera – $4.1 million. Finished.
Shroud of the Avatar – $1.9 million. Finished.
Telepath Tactics – $33k. 3 days left.
Shovel Knight – $258k. 1 day left.

Camelot Unchained – $1 million ($2 million goal). 19 days left.

First, we have C-Wars – a more Action-oriented Plants vs. Zombies-style RTS/Tower Defense game with nice pixel art and a cyber-punk apocalypse setting for PC & Android. Looks rather fun. They have $11k of their $32k with 29 days left to go.

Next, we have Chasm, a 2D procedurally generated Metroidvania which also features appealing pixel art. They’ve been creating some buzz on Steam’s Greenlight service so it’ll be interesting to see if they’re able to translate that into funding. It’s currently at $4k of its $150k goal with 29 days left to go.

Finally, we have Frozen Sword. An Action/RPG created with RPGMaker, the game honestly doesn’t look to exciting but I think the story behind it is interesting – Frozen Sword is a school project led by a high school math teacher intended to interest students in game development and is going to be used as a pitch to the school for the creation of a Game Development elective class. The funds they raise will be used for the purchase of additional computers & relevant software. It’s at $3k ($1.5k goal) with 2 weeks left to go.

That’s it for this week!
