Kickstarter - Weekend News Roundup

When I find five or more kickstarter updates I prefer to round them all up in one news-bit. So lets get started as I have six of them for you today.

Ultimate Fantasy Studio has a new post-funding update for The Meridian Shard.

Aside from the demo, I have made great progress over the past month with many improvements to the game design, animation frame rates and icon design. These two videos will show some of the painstakingly detailed backgrounds I have made, including a new dungeon floor mat that looks fantastically aged and colored with randomized stains and tones over all the stones. You will also see some of the new menus and items in action as well.

Inglenook posted a new post-funding update for Witchmarsh.

Apologies for going a bit quiet there, we've had our faces planted firmly in code, story documents, research and the many joys of business administration. We henceforth promise to make these updates more frequent. :)

Trexrell posted two updates for Demon's Revenge found here, and here.

This is a Vlog of myself Tyrell talking about the current status of our crowd funding efforts. I want to think positively and move forward with everything we have now.

The Hard West Kickstarter is now over, and made $94,183 of the $70,000 goal.

Thank you kindly for your backing!

While the timer suggests it's over, it's actually only the beginning. We're finally able to focus on making the game, but there's still a whole lot more in the store for you.

Kai Rosenkranz's kickstarter for a new music album has 13days left, and has only managed to earn $15,999 of the games $20,000 goal. So keep spreading the word.

My new album made it past the 75% mark. And who did it? YOU did it!

I cannot thank you guys enough for all your support. This really means a lot to me! Can I hug you? :) We still have more than 2 weeks left, and I'm starting to believe that we can actually make it. But no ... Must. Not.

And for last a new article from ten ton hammer about kickstarters being the, "The Land of Glorious Vaporware and Disappointment."

I just hate early access and I hate Kickstarter for video games. It’s just not good. It’s not good at all. Just recently, Stomping Land got pulled from Steam for being vaporware. The developers apparently had the audacity to just take money and not do anything. Proving yet again that early access and Kickstarter are terrible ideas for monetizing video games.
