Psychonauts 2 Delayed Into 2019

Psychonauts 2 Delayed Into 2019

, , , , 0

The original Psychonauts was one of the best 3D platformers ever made, but it came out during a glut of badly-designed 3D platformers that killed the genre. Time and ports to newer systems have grown its fanbase, however, and that fanbase was more than eager to partially crowdfund a proposed Psychonauts 2 in 2015. It’s been a long time since then, and it will be longer still. Project lead Zak McClendon informed project backers today that after completing the first playable build of the game, they’ve made a new estimation as to how long it’ll take. Much longer than anticipated, turns out….originally scheduled to be released in the third quarter of 2018, Psychonauts 2 has now slipped into 2019. McClendon couldn’t give a more specific release window than that. “We do know about how long it’s going to take but we don’t want to say anything until we have a firm date for people,” he said. “We want to give it time to make it something that we love and

Legrand Legacy, the JRPG from developer SemiSoft, has been fully funded on Kickstarter, with the Indie game getting the £40,000 it needed in order to complete its campaign; it had just three days left in order to reach its goal. The Kickstarter campaign came just two months after the original campaign failed to reach the funding required to be successful, even after SemiSoft offered increased incentives to potential backers. Speaking about finishing the Kickstarter campaign, William “Uwil” Winata, lead game designer at SemiSoft, said: “We’re proud of the community that we’ve built during both Kickstarter campaigns for Legrand Legacy. Not only did they show us full support for rebooting the campaign, they’ve returned enforce and have pushed us over the funding line! We now hope achieve some of the stretch goals, that we’ve revealed and look forward to delivering Legrand Legacy to our eager fans. The team and I are now even more motivated, thanks to the funding, press and public reception to our game, to live up to the expectations of true

Board Game From Decemberists Video To Become Real Product

Board Game From Decemberists Video To Become Real Product

Here where I live, in Portland, there’s this adult alternative band called The Decemberists. Back in 2009 they created a music video where they were playing some strange make-believe game called The Illimat. The game was mostly a prop concept by illustrator Carson Ellis and not intended to function as a real pasttime. Until now, because it will. The Decemberists have decided to manufacture The Illimat as a real product, and they’re crowdfunding some of the cost. To fill in the details, the band has enlisted the help of game designer Keith Baker. This may be one of the few products where the game was thought up first and its mechanics were made up after the fact. How exactly do you play this thing anyway? They aren’t telling us precisely, but they did create a video. Here’s what The Illimat looks like in action: So far The Illimat has earned four times its initial crowdfunding goal with 28 days to go. Want a copy of this mysterious and obtuse game?
