Some Cool Crowdfunding Projects (June 2014)

by

E3 2014 is almost upon us. The world’s biggest gaming and digital entertainment expo, it’s the place where game announcements, trailers and gameplay will be revealed all in the same week. I love this time of year.

I’m frustrated though, because it seems nearly every game has already been leaked or officially revealed weeks before the event: a new “Call of Duty,” a new “Battlefield,” new “Homefront,” new “Mortal Kombat,” and others all have official trailers or logos already out.

by

Oops, almost forgot about showing off new crowdfunding projects this month. I’m very busy, and should have more to say in the next several days. Anyway…

Interestingly, Kickstarter.com added new categories for the “games” section. Put it to good use as you search on your own.

Also, I continuously get frustrated when people on indiegogo.com ask for people to fund “them” rather than ideas or projects, saying that “they are full of potential but don’t have any money,” etc. The site really should implement a review process before letting just anyone put crowdfunding projects up.
