Kickstarter

Project Phoenix is a squad-based tactical RPG being crowd funded on Kickstarter. The indie project brings together a team with experience on a large number of games from around the world, including Nobuo Uematsu, Kiyoshi Arai, Hiroaki Yura, John Kurlander and Donna Burke. As of August 26 the project is funded and nearing its second stretch goal of $650,000.

This Kickstarter, just on the cusp of being funded, is for a super-fine coffee table book commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of Mike Tyson's Punch-out!!! Check out more pictures and a description at the Kickstarter page.

Ukiyo-e Heroes by Jed Henry. He has a Kickstarter (naturally!) where you can get these in print form.

The Two Guys from Andromeda, creators of the Space Quest adventure games that were big in the 80s and 90s, have reformed as "Guys From Andromeda" and started a Kickstarter campaign to fund their new game.

I'm working with them to develop a set of prototypes during the campaign period. A new one will be released each time they hit $100k, and the first is already available.

Check out the campaign at http://tgakick.com and consider adding your support! Some of the rewards are particularly great, but of course the reward of a new game by these guys is why you're really doing it.

I am recreating the entire first level of Super Mario Bros. out of LEGO® bricks, using one brick per pixel!
