Kickstarter Games - Knights & Bikes

[Myrthos]

Just noticed this Knights & Bikes Kickstarter that has passed half of its GBP 100K goal, with still 20 days to go.

Knights and Bikes is a co-op or single player action adventure game from us! "Us" being Rex Crowle (Tearaway, LittleBigPlanet) and Moo Yu (LittleBigPlanet, Ratchet & Clank). And we'll be joined by additional collaborators that we know and trust, like "Audio Daredevil" Kenny Young (Tearaway, LittleBigPlanet) and composer Daniel Pemberton (Steve Jobs, The Man from UNCLE, LittleBigPlanet). And hopefully we'll be joined by you as well!

Inspired by games like Earthbound and Secret of Mana and films such as The Goonies, we would like to take these, along with of our favorite childhood memories, and channel it all through our years of experience making games.

In Knights and Bikes, you can play as Nessa and Demelza on their quest for the truth behind the medieval legends of Penfurzy, an island on the fast track to financial ruin and literal destruction. Recruit a party of creatures from all walks of life, enlist and inspire deflated islanders, and embark on an adventure to find the hero the island so desperately needs.

Teaming up with Demelza's pet goose, and the pickled severed head of a fallen-knight, they fling Frisbees at demons, trick-out their bikes to reach new locations, and increase their abilities with each islander they rescue.

That over 100k in pounds(?) for us state siders its at $88,496.

Looks like a game that would entice me into a bundle, not so much a game to pledge to however.

Why people think frame shaking and frame skipping is a good idea is beyond me.
This isn't some disco with a strobe light. When you have massive monitors you don't want shit flashing all over the place like some epileptics nightmare.
