This Kickstarter craze is still going, and I can’t say I’m terribly upset about it. If people make good games, they get funded. End of story. Sometimes people are trying to have a get rich quick scheme, but normally the people of the internet can spot those a mile away.
I am quite a fan of the Yogscast, so the creation of the Yogventure! Kickstarter project is quite a wonderful thing. While I find the idea of making a game off of their shows a bit crazy, I can’t help but give them a pat on the back for it. They themselves will not be making the game, but they will be working alongside Winterkewl Games, who are quite well-versed in making games.
To describe this game, “Think adventure maps in Minecraft, only now you aren’t limited to just blocks!” There’s some sort of technology called “Marching Cubes” that will generate new world terrain that is both random and editable. There will be many characters from The Yogscast series, so you’ll be playing as characters that you already know and love. This game has about 25 days to go, but it has gone over halfway to its goal.
