So this appears to be turning into a legitimate funding scheme for really cool stuff. So far I note that Oculus Rift and Planetary Annihilation were funded through it, which are two of the coolest hardware and software products in the videogame pipeline by far. The Oculus is THE coolest hardware thing on the horizon, bar none, and PA, though not the coolest videogame, is certainly up there in top 5 territory. I am only miffed I found out about them after their kickstarters were over. In the Oculus' case that's not too big of a deal, since I can still preorder a dev kit with Doom III: BFG off the company's site, but with PA I feel really screwed, since you could get $20 off your day-1 purchase if you bought the game from the Kickstarter page, or get LE editions and even beta or alpha access for reasonable sums. I don't care about all the other "pay us 1000 bucks and we'll name a robot after you" bullshit, but day-1 half-price deals would be very cool for me since I almost never buy games on day 1 anymore precisely to avoid paying full price. (Just the other day for example I ordered a good 20 current-gen games from Amazon for like around $250, which would have cost me upwards of $1,000 on day one.)
So this is a thread to let people know of cool kickstarters as soon as possible, so we can get in to the fun. You can also link mediocre-looking stuff, or even "indie" shit to make fun of it if you wish, but the main goal here is to keep track of and get into good deals.
