    Eminence: Xander's Tales is the first trading card game of its kind to feature an explorable virtual world, a unique and evolving story, beautiful art direction and engaging social gameplay.

    It combines the strategic gameplay of a trading card game with the community and storytelling features of a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG).

    The game features a unique card battle system which has been inspired by the mechanics of card games such as Triple Triad. You play against others in a high risk card game where the winner can take the loser's card!

    No official footage yet, but Team Meat has been showing their new game off at PAX this weekend

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oj_klySxEOo

    SUPER MEAT BOY FOREVER, an endless runner version of Super Meat Boy that they claim will basically revolutionize the genre

    Mew-Genics is on hold and that weird "A Voyeur for September" thing from a little bit ago was an anagram for "Super Meat Boy Forever"

    Coming to PC, iOS, and Android in 2015

    this is gonna be my kickstarter news thread so I'm dumping info on games I've posted recently

    24 Killers is a life sim with who-dunnit elements. It takes place in an island town filled with monsters which you'll be able to explore from the beginning of the game. You'll encounter strange beings, and people to help that will cause your town to improve and grow.

    The spirits that haunt your house are involved in the best kinds of debauchery. They possess a new person each day to get a little taste of life again, but never have peace. As you slap these spirits out of their hosts, you'll learn about their plight and why they're stuck in this loop of unrest. Who are the 24 Killers?

    Hyper Light Drifter is due out later this year right?

    If they craft a good world to go with the excellent gameplay they've demoed, that game is going to be fucking incredible.

    I'm waiting on that, Massive Chalice, and Shantae for my backed games at this point.

    Moon Hunters is a 1-4 player action RPG with a rich, ancient world that's different every time you play. Build your mythology as you play, solo or with friends, every action and choice contributing to your legend.

    You could describe the game as “Legend of Zelda meets Castle Crashers”, or maybe “King of Dragon Pass meets Gauntlet”. We empower players to experiment with their personality through the reputation and tribe-management, while combat challenges punctuate the journey as chances to prove their skill.

    moon hunters is almost guaranteed to hit its goal for online multiplayer

    another excellent looking pixel art game, aegis defenders, is 65 hours away from being funded and will likely not meet a similar goal

    Mighty Month Kicks Off with Mighty No. 9 Beta on Steam!

    August 31st, 2014 – Seattle: Keiji Inafune surprised the crowd at his PAX Prime panel today by announcing that the beta version of his upcoming action/platformer Mighty No. 9 is now available for eligible backers to download on their PCs via Steam. Backers entitled to the beta as a reward should receive an email sometime in the next 24 hours (by the end of day on Monday, September 1st) with their beta key.

    The Mighty No. 9 beta is currently a single level (though Inafune mentioned it will be updated with an additional level or two), and will be used to gather fan feedback as Comcept and developer Inti Creates work on finishing the full game, due to launch in 2015 on all major gaming platforms.

    The beta is restricted to backers at the beta reward tier or higher for now (plus the lucky 600 or so fans in attendance at PAX), though Inafune has expressed interest in opening up access to a broader audience via Steam Early Access in the coming weeks.

    The beta kicks off “Mighty Month,” a special community-focused event Comcept is putting on at the MightyNo9.com forums through the month of September to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Mighty No. 9 Kickstarter, with daily trivia, contests, interviews and more.

    MINI FAQ
    Will the Mighty No. 9 beta be coming to other platforms other than the PC via Steam?
    No. Since the beginning of the Mighty No. 9 Kickstarter, the beta has only been promised / planned for the PC via Steam.

    Is the Mighty No. 9 beta available for download via Steam Early Access?
    No. This could change in the coming weeks, but for now the beta is available to eligible backers only.

    Are there updates planned to expand the Mighty No. 9 beta?
    Yes. The initial beta version is a single level, but there are plans to add another stage or two, along with tweaks and fixes, all as updates in the coming weeks and months.

    I'm just going to go ahead and cc @Chincymcchilla on this

    This is pretty cool. I heard decent thing about Gunvolt and was considering picking it up if it wasn't too much. Guess I'll be getting it anyway!

  • UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Registered User regular
    It feels like we've been waiting forever on Mighty No. 9

  • AnzekayAnzekay Registered User regular
    I've been waiting for ages for Project Phoenix and Project Eternity too. I guess it's probably a good thing that all 3 of those kickstarters decided to have long-term development timeframes rather than trying to push them out as quickly as possible.

    The wait sucks, but only because I am excited for them all.

  • MaddocMaddoc I'm Bobbin Threadbare, are you my mother? Registered User regular
    I want Massive Chalice more than anything right now.

    Since I didn't back at bloodline level I'll just have to make sure House Davis is appropriately balling.
