Successful Kickstarters of the week! (22ND NOV 2013)

As you know we've done a lot of Kickstarter articles, so I thought it best to update people on the ones that we have featured, that have hit the success goal through the last week. Not every kickstarter has done well though, some haven't even come close, but enough about that, let's look at those success stories!

Octopus City Blues - A surreal Adventure game in a Retro style (Kickstarter Success)

Developer Quote : The authentic Octopus City simulation for Windows, OS X and Linux. A surreal adventure game about everything and nothing.
Game Info Quote : The authentic Octopus City simulation, the simulation resembles the adventure games of yore, immersing players in a fascinating setting filled with unusual characters. Explore the eponymous city and interact with its inhabitants. It takes place in a small but vibrant part of the city. Each NPC has his or her own daily schedule, likes and dislikes, and opinions about the world and other characters. Assume the role of Kaf Kafkaryan, a cowardly middle-aged octopus blood junkie and tentacle trimmer, living in a city built around a giant octopus. Kaf has been experiencing bizarre dreams about a world populated by twisted creatures. To help the inhabitants of his dreams, he must learn more about the people of the city and explore the underside of the towering metropolis. Along the way he becomes entangled in a conspiracy with far-reaching implications for Octopus City.
Release : Dec 2013

A Hat in Time - A Nintendo 64 style platformer (MAC/PC) Kickstarter

We get a lot of platformers on Indie Retro News, but it's not often we end up with platformers to that of the N64 era, with it's 3D arcade platforming graphical goodness. But here comes A Hat in Time, by Gears for Breakfast, which has already smashed it's Kickstarter goal by a huge margin. If you loved games like Super Mario 64 then this is the game for you. In this game you have the usual gameplay mechanics such as running, jumping and wall jumping, but the developers have even added an umbrella, which when upgraded gives you a range of cool abilities. As her story progresses, she unlocks additional moves like the hookshot, ground pound and pogo upgrades! This is looking to be a high class title with plenty of enemies to fight, platforms to jump and beautiful 3D high colour graphics, just what the game doctor ordered!

Forsaken Fortress - the post-apocalyptic survival RPG Kickstarter Success!

Another Kickstarter Success and so far it's nearly all the ones featured on Indie Retro News.   Forsaken Fortress is a special RPG in which you assemble your team, build and manage your base, collect resources, and survive in a post-apocalyptic world. My sort of game really and for it to be a success, means I'll be able to play it when it's finished and so will you!

Limit Theory has reached its Kick Starter goal!

That's right! Limit Theory has reached its Kick Starter goal of $50,000 and has surpassed it so far with a grand total of $61,745 Pledged!

Congratulations is in order for Limit Theorys developer Josh Parnell on achieving his goal. We here at IndieRetroNews.com are looking forward to playing the game upon its release. Limit Theory is going to be something truly amazing if it lives up to its developers promises.
