(One of these is actually on Indiegogo but whatever.)
So I hope you guys are familiar with Deirdra Kiai! If not, check her out! She made The Play, which was in the Top 3 of the 2011 IF Competition. Anyway, Deirdra's got a game coming out called Dominique Pamplemousse in It's All Over Once the Fat Lady Sings! It's a musical detective adventure game done in stop-motion, and she's planning on working on it full time if the project gets funded.
Speaking of people who made games that placed in the Top 3 of the 2011 IF Comp, Ryan Veeder, writer of Comp Winner Taco Fiction, has a Kickstarter out for a book called Motorcyclus and Other Extremely Scary Stories. It's a book of short (sometimes really short, like two paragraphs or so) horror fiction, the style of which can be best described as Trainwreck-y. For 60 bucks he'll name one of the characters in the book after you, so if you ever wanted immortality as the star of a dodgy horror story, now's your chance! But hurry, supplies won't last. (I think he's planning to only make 30 copies of the book.)
I met Deirdra a few years
I met Deirdra a few years ago; she is a cool lady! Happily backed her game. I am down with anyone who makes games out of clay and sousaphones and personal experiences.
