Kickstart it up! Adventure Games on Kickstarter (updated July 28, 2013)

A news segment in December 2012 was on the crowdfunding platforms on the internet. Kickstarter.com was the name of one such platform. I became interested and googled it. Kickstarter is where you can pledge a specific amount in support of an individual/group/company creating a product or service and get something or more in return. I found out that adventure games were under Video Games on Kickstarter. I pledged $15 to Double Fine Productions so they could make an adventure game (Broken Age). Their goal was $400,000. It was surpassed and rose to $3,336,371 because the game was spearheaded by Tim Schafer (Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango). That made 87,142 backers pledge their money. The fundraising campaign ended on March 12, 2012.

I also pledged money to more adventure games on Kickstarter. Alas, the Kickstarter campaigns for those games and Broken Age had ended. But don't despair! You can still pledge money through Paypal for the following games. You can click on the name(s) and be transported to the Paypal link(s):

Broken Age (Double Fine Productions)

Jane Jensen's Moebius and more (Pinkerton Road CSG)

Tesla Effect - Tex Murphy

The pre-orders for Tesla Effect will end on July 31, 2013.

Quest For Infamy - Infamous Quests

Reincarnation: The Root of All Evil

Jack Houston and the Necronauts

Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption - by the Quest for Glory designers

Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey

Asylum

Mage's Initiation

Please keep in mind that when the Paypal link stops working or the digital download becomes available, I will delete the link or replace that with the digital download purchase link.

There are several games that don't make the list. When the games become available for digital download, I will steer you to the links where you can buy a game or more.

Every Thursday evening or earlier from now on, I will look through the adventure game selections on Kickstarter and post the links (Kickstarter, Paypal) here.

Happy Adventuring!
