I have kickstarted a few things, its been half and half really. Put some money into CraftStudio which was a game engine of sorts (indiegogo) Carmageddon, Mercenary Kings and Castle Story as well as an artbook and other non-games.

I know one of the ex-Frontier guys is working on this: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1438429768/maia

Pretty sure its worth a punt.

think project giana is released now has anyone tried it ?

I've put a few hours into this, I think it's great! The world switching is a great mechanic as the platforming depends on it and I've died a fair few times world switching to platform hop over certain death.

It's quite tough going, died 50 times on world 1-6 (it has a death counter!)

There are tonnes of check points in the levels though so you're never put too far back.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...s?ref=category that looks pretty good

[cutmymilk]

?80 for a boxed game and some beta versions though. Great that people seem to like to support such causes but doesn't that take the piss?

[Nijo]

If I'm reading it correctly, for ?80 you get the boxed copy *and* an additional digital copy. Still pricey though.

Since I care not for boxes, I might go in for a tenner.

[Nijo]

Backed for a tenner: lovely engine, just needs some content. Combat looks pretty hard as is, especially when he gets flattened by the troll at the end.

Hopefully it'll make it:

Also, Elite is looking borderline after the initial flurry:

(doesn't help that the pitch is a bit lazy)

[CMcK]

I would like to see a port of Dodonpachi Bee Storm for the Saturn. On a ROM cart.

Has anyone actually completed a kickstarted game yet? Or are millions of gamers shelling out hundreds of pounds on long term preorders.

[Nijo]

Kickstarter only became huge for games after Double Fine (March), so none of the high profile projects have had a chance to finish yet.

In any case, Kickstarter isn't a pre-order shopping site aimed at consumers. It's about donating a bit of money to something that you like the idea of, with the added bonus that you might get a game (or other perks) at the end of it. Many publisher funded games fail along the way, so I'd expect a proportion of Kickstarters to fail after funding - and that's fine.

Great Giana Sisters was one of the projects I backed, and which has now been released. I haven't played it, though, as it won't run on my laptop - I just liked the idea.
