Reader Discussion: Which Successfully Funded Kickstarter Are You Most Excited About?
Some of the high-profile gaming-oriented Kickstarter projects are on the horizon. Which one are you desperately waiting for?
In the last few years, Kickstarter has become a big part of the gaming industry, as numerous developers look to their fans to fund projects instead of a traditional publisher model. Look no further than our Kickstarter Compendium for just a sampling of the games being built through crowd funding. While there's no doubt that utilizing Kickstarter has been a successful approach for many game makers, the gaming community continues to wait to find out how most of these projects will turn out.
A few well known Kickstarters, like the Ouya, or games like FTL: Faster Than Light and Star Command, have already released. However, some of the most highly funded gameson Kickstarter have yet to see the light of day, and it remains to be seen how good those games will be. With next week's release of Shadowrun Returns, we thought it was a good time to ask about which games you're looking forward to.
Games like Double Fine's Broken Age, inXile's Wasteland 2 and Torment: Tides of Numenera, Obsidian's Project Eternity, Hex, Star Citizen, and Shovel Knight are just some of the big success stories. Which game is top on your list to watch? Whether you helped fund the game or not, are there any Kickstarted games you'll buy on the day they come out?
