A fascinating adventure soon to be on its last week (now last few days!) in Kickstarter, Knite & The Ghost Lights:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2011341880/knite-and-the-ghost-lights

Hand-made (absolutely gorgeous) Tim Burton animation-esque graphics (in my opinion, no one there has made the comparison as far as I’ve seen), “unique use of lighting that plays an integral part in gameplay and puzzle solving”, it’s apparently a side-scrolling adventure/platformer. Interestingly originally planned as a point&click;, but then they decided a faster pace would make it more engaging so they made it more action-adventure. Still, it promises lots of puzzles and exploration, so it should be of much interests to AGers too

It’s got 8 days left right now, with a bit less than [s]20,000$[/s] 10k needed to fund, but I’m at least really excited about it and really wish it gets funded.

(Seeing as it started as a p&c and still seems to have an emphasis on puzzles, I put this in Adventure, but if that’s wrong then go ahead and move this)

(Edit): Funded!

I can’t believe there’s no interest! This is one of the most fascinating games I’ve seen in a while. I’d expect a lot more interest especially here The graphics are beautiful, they’ve already stated that it’s very story-driven, it should have very interesting gameplay and puzzle mechanics…

So, I have to keep advertising as it’s got only a few days left, with a generally meager 13,000 $ to go. And you can get the game + soundtrack for only 10 bucks! It really needs a last-minute boost, but it’s definitely within reach.

Even if you don’t want to pledge, maybe spread the word? A lot of people find it by accident since it’s not getting much publicity, but people always seem fascinated by it.

I like the looks of the game, Uptimist, but I wish they had stuck with their original idea of making it an adventure game instead of an action/platformer.

Sure, I totally get that (and quite agree, too) - this being Adventure Gamers and all However, luckily it doesn’t seem to be so much an action platformer as it is more… adventure platformer I mean, they’ve said it’s got an emphasis on story and puzzles, so it should still please most adventure gamers, too. But of course it’s not as appealing to an adventure gamer as a pure p&c… And at this point it isn’t so sure yet how actiony or adventurey the game will, there’s been very little gameplay shown.

Anyways, I’m glad I found some interest here! Kickstarter projects are always such a matter of just the right balance in creating the project, goals and tiers etc. and enough luck in getting the word out there…

Less than 10k to go now

This looks hella interesting. Backed

Yay, I’m very happy to see this funded Also means I won’t have to go upping my pledge because I really didn’t have much money to spare anyways…

Sure got a huge boost in the last few days, you can see in Kicktraq how the backer amounts just went through the roof in a few days.

Well, still some hours to go, it’ll be interesting to see where it ends up!
