The Drop Moves Well Into Stretch Goals

Delver's Drop was successfully funded a bit ago to much acclaim. It moved into its stretch goals for a day one Linux port and now just hit another goal for a new game level and playable class. They are 15k away from another stretch goal of 4 player deathmatch and horde mode, something this game NEEDS.

Really excited to see this funded and get even MOAR AWESOMERRR! 5 days to go, so if you want to act, act soon.

This looks pretty fantastic. I love how a game comes along and causes a resurgence of a genre. Braid came along and then everyone created new sidescrollers and it was great. Then drops Walking Dead and there are a million point-and-click adventures and it was wonderful. Binding of Isaac is released and now you get a slew of Zeldalikes. I can't wait for the next one because many great games have been fostered like this.

I agree, which is one of the awesome things about the current Indie movement, they are building games they want to play. Its cool to have people build things for the love than some spreadsheet calculation based on metrics.

Then again... that could make a pretty awesome game. CORPOTRON SPREADSHEET GAME DECISION FACTORY 2342 could find its audience.

As long as you throw the word "Simulator" in there I know there's a market. There's a garbage truck simulator. I know there will be a Cubicle Drone Simulator 2013 down the pipe. Actually that would be an amazing game. Start off as a straight cubicle simulator and in the second half of the game you just start to lose your mind and eventually go off into the desert to find yourself. That would be incredible. Get me some devs! I have a kickstarter to make!

I think if you have a killer video you can sell anything on Kickstarter.

And putting Monsters in it helps too.

AND... it just made it to 115k so it will ship with multiplayer.

Woot.
