Anton Wegenast thinks that crowd funding should emulate the open market and be a resource. Projects like Ouya and Double Fine Adventure provide plenty of reasons to support him.
Double Fine Productions currently has multiple games in development besides its upcoming puzzle adventure game, Keeper.
Double Fine Productions has teased the next Time Schafer game in the latest episode of PsychOdyssey on YouTube.
From systems that could keep your beer cool, to oddities trying to get in on the popularity of VHS and laserdisc, you’ve got some very, very weird video game consoles out there.
I had the LaserActive... it was a nice collectors piece but not very practical. Especially when it came to needing recapping. I think i paid all of about $50 for the floor model from an incredible Universe back in the day. I ended up selling it many years later for $300 at the time due to it needing a new laser and the aforementioned recapping.
An honorable mention not on the list would be the VM Labs Nuon. It basically looked like any regular DVD player but it had ports on it for controllers to play specific games. one of which is still exclusive to it with Tempest 3000. It also offered nuon enhanced DVD movies with extra content not accessible by regular players.
Once I start seeing some of these projects materialize then maybe I'll jump on the Kickstarter band wagon. Until then I remain standoffish of backing any projects.
