Uncade's Wii U eShop title Another Castle has reached its Kickstarter funding target of $12,000 with 8 days to go.
Serena Nelson writes: "It's always sad to see a crowdfunded project not make funding. It's even more disheartening to have to get the news that a project cannot continue on. For one reason or another, usually related to time or money, the development for said game just has to stop. Permanently. Unfortunately, this appears to be the case with the roguelike platformer Another Castle."
Welcome to Nintendo Enthusiast's Indie Corner, a brand new web series showcasing upcoming Wii U indie game titles. Hosted by Jason Lepine, Indie Corner is a 14 part series listing Indie Wii U titles by genre. This series will highlight short game previews and put the spotlight on some unknown gems.
In this video we go over some 2D Platform Games.
Another Castle is a ‘roguealike’ classic platforming game. You play as Andy, who’s looking for a random item, which may be a magical sword, a wizard hat, or something else entirely. You run, jump, and fight your way through randomly generated platforms.
Power to the indie's. They are future of gaming.
Giant corporations like EA, Activision, Ubisofot and Square-Enix have become nothing more than corporate marketing machines that are all about money. There is no soul or creativity in their games anymore. Just pure numbers.
Specialists companies like Epic Games, Quantic Dreams, and Mojan have also begun to, if not totally lost their way.
The industry needs new blood and we need to support the up and coming game devs. Gaming is sinking under the weight of greed. Lets chizzle away what is good from the bigger horde so that they don't all go down with it.
Ok this is the problem I have with Kickstarter, this type of stuff right here, disagree all you want but at least hear me out and actually really look at this game. I really don't understand this.
It looks so similar to Mario it isn't even funny and yet people rip every Android or iOS game that is a Mario clone but people will fund this? Or god forbid if this release on PSN..
I mean rarely ever use the word clone (I actually hate it) but this is just too much.. even the level designs are practically identical at times even the name feels like a Mario sequal or something..
Mario: Another Castle.
I feel like you can just put anything on Kickstarter now and people will just throw money at you, I can't even believe the mundane crap I see constantly being funded.. Don't get me wrong there are really great projects and ideas that deserve it as well but it seems like lately there are tons who really do not.
I am all for indie games, I love them but this just seems lame. Especially with this.. why would you put it on a systems that literally already have tons of games exactly like it but much better? Especially the Wii U.. Why does the Wii U need more Mario type games?
Even looking at this game from a distance I can promise you if you took it to the streets and asked people what they thought it was, a huge majority of them would just assume a Mario game.
