Re: The active Kickstarter projects discussion thread.

First Wonder is strangely executed campaign on the bad end of the spectrum of campaign execution. That current project thumbnail is pretty bad. There was an interview with the Retro VGS project creator. It received about 60% dislikes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmapDzXBA70 Jotun 's multi-part ...

Actually a lot of canceled projects from the past relaunched this month. Few have improved themselves. There are a lot of new really low quality projects flooding ...

Re: The active Kickstarter projects discussion thread.

Healing Process: Tokyo takes about 1 minute 24 seconds before the pitch video gets good. It deals with a surgeon tackling depression. Aberford is a zombie survival game with 1950's housewives.

Re: The active Kickstarter projects discussion thread.

Kickstarter is starting to see a new wave of good quality campaigns. It should ramp up even more with the arrival of September. Divinity: Original Sin 2 made a big splash.
