Launched in 2009 Kickstarter has funded over 100,000 launched projects ranging from indie films, music and comics to journalism, and what interests us the most, video games. The company also noted that of those, 43.96 percent have been funded successfully. Not bad for such a young service.

Kickstarter does not only serve as a method of financing for developers, but it is also a way to unite marketing and development together by allowing developers to interact with customers while a game is in development.

The service gets popular day by day and when once it was headline news when a game turned into crowd-funding now it is very hard to keep track of what desperately needs your money. To the rescue Gameconnect once more dug through the Kickstarter Games page to find projects you may not heard of yet but they look like they worth your hard-earned cash.

Massive Chalice

One of the earliest Kickstarter success stories, Double Fine, has just announced it plans to once again tap into the crowd funding community to create Massive Chalice, a feudal fantasy-themed tactical strategy game for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Massive Chalice  is a single player turn-based tactics game within a multi-generational strategy campaign built for re-playability in which heroes grow old and die as the story progresses. As an immortal King or Queen, you must unite your kingdom under a powerful dynasty, eliminate the demonic threat, and reforge the Massive Chalice.

The game is structured into two main layers: strategy and tactics. In the strategy layer, you oversee your kingdom, arrange royal marriages, conduct research, and make the far-reaching decisions that will determine the fate of your legacy. In the tactics layer, you fight brutal turn-based battles to defend your kingdom using small squads of customizable heroes.

Permadeath is inevitable: your heroes will grow, age, and eventually die. You’ll have to choose between keeping your favorite heroes on the battlefield or retiring them from combat to foster a new generation of warriors.

Double Fine’s Tim Schafer assures that work continues on the developer’s previous Kickstarter success story, Broken Age, but notes that a separate internal team can begin work on Massive Chalice once it’s successfully funded. Massive Chalice’s funding goal is set at $725,000.

Once in-game, you must destroy different key areas of the enemy Carrier to incapacitate it and ultimately destroy it. Destroying a Carrier part gives penalties to the enemy team, and each broken part inflicts a different penalty. The key to victory will be to work as a team and many weapons and abilities will have secondary uses that can only be triggered by joining up with other players.

GoD Factory: Wingmen is looking to raise $70,000 in order to be playable on a wide range of Pcs.
