I’ve backed a few things on Kickstarter in the past year, and I’m apparently not the only one. Today, the company shared some numbers as to what types of things are getting the most funding on the platform.
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve been this impressed with a 2D sidescroller: tiny Build Games is developing No Time to Explain, which looks to be a frenetic and humorous take on time travel. I’m down: No Time To Explain is coming Summer 2011 to PC & Mac. First sales will go right into [...]
Jack Houston And The Necronauts kickstarter campaign was a success, however after the campaign was over the $10k backer backed down from his pledge leaving the campaign short by 2k from it’s goal.

The Real Time Strategy game Sword Of Justice from 4flash once had a kickstarter campaign which I’ve posted about, but sadly it failed hard.
