4. A message from the Borderlands. Kindred! The Camarilla has heard the voices of the clans. As one your voice demanded recognition, to be acknowledged. Know that we cannot walk in daylight among the mortals; it is our way to remain hidden. Though hidden we remain, the Camarilla grants rights for you to go forth and leave your mark on the works of our brethren. The mark you shall leave is thrice lettered: R P G. Leave the mark so that we shall know our own. The elders have spoken. Let our works be known by the mark of #RPG! Ahem. The #RPG tag is live. You can now tag all sorts of projects—from books, to music, to games—with the #RPG tag. The term RPG has been widely adopted across many types of games, it is only fitting that we allow our community to decide what is RPG and what isn’t!

  6. Go west. A journey to the Pacific through a land with no maps, Meriweather is a game of discovery.

The developers of this new Kickstarter project are combining exploration, diplomacy, roleplaying, and survival to create a historically accurate adventure game that is still an unpredictable experience. Pack your saddlebags and join our Project of the Day.

  7. Come out and play.

    Sportsfriends unites four uniquely hilarious multiplayer video games designed to incite pandemonium in your living room.

    Given the long odds against local mulitplayer games in the market — and the inherent weirdness of these four games — Sportfriends seeks strength in numbers by teaming up to produce these games as one Kickstarter project.

    Each game celebrates the experience of playing with other humans in the same physical space, melding forward-thinking interactive experiments and simple, addictive fun. The creators have shared their games at festivals, exhibitions, and even in the middle of a Danish street — but this Project of the Day is your first chance to bring Sportsfriends home.

  8. When their powers combine.

    Sportsfriends is a compendium of four hilarious and addictive multiplayer games designed to be played by a group of screaming strangers together in the same room.

    Both forward-thinking interactive experiments and endlessly re-playable fun, all four of these clever games have been deployed at festivals, shared at parties  and even installed in the middle of a Danish street. But with zero interest from the publishing industry in a local multiplayer experience, the developers have combined efforts to launch a Kickstarter project.

  9. A charming 8-bit adventure about “loss, redemption, and lots of quacking,” Duck Quest follows a lovably clueless mother duck on her adventure to find her lost ducklings through a city park. She’ll meet a host of kooky characters along the way, including a French painter and a hot dog vendor, ensuring a maximumally adorable avian adventure from start to finish. Since cute stuff is good for Mondays, we made it our Project of the Day.

  11. Star Command is a spaceship management game for iOS, Android and now for PC/Mac. Players are able to build a ship, hire a crew, and then explore the galaxy! (Everything is highly customizable, from color and hull types, to who and what goes inside.) The games creators have already unleashed a mobile version on the world, but now it’s time to “build an ultimate, face-melting, planet-destroying desktop version of the game.” It’s also time to make it our Project of the Day.

  12. In late November, 2011, a strange and troubling event has happened to our studio. We have received an anonymous e-mail which suggested that we should produce some “unconventional” game based upon the materials attached to the letter…

    The attachment contained a set of 19 files added to an archive titled “lestplay”. The files (snippets of text, scraps of audio recording, video footage fragments) as well as the style and wording of the message itself appeared to be rather disturbing. The surface examination did not reveal anything straightforwardly terrifying, yet we could not escape the feeling that something truly sinister was lurking underneath.

    —Intriguing.

  13. Space! Love! Exploration! Action! Moon Intern has got it all. The game is a serialized RPG set on a Moon Colony that is played “almost like a comic book with each day acting like a single issue or a single episode.” Players must navigate their celestial terrain while performing odd jobs in order to pay rent, keep their soul mate happy, stop attacks by the rogue Robot Gang, and face off with the Moon King. While that sounds like a lot of adventure, the game’s ultimate goal is to just make ends meet while keeping your designated soul mate happy — sounds a little bit just like real life, doesn’t it? Also, sounds like our Project of the Day.

  15. Since it’s Friday, we thought we’d make our Project of the Day kind of like a present — ya know, something fun for your weekend. Like legendary-author-of-historical-epics Neal Stephenson taking his turn as a video game maker to create a revolutionary sword fighting game brimming with original adventure tales, adventurous duels, and an unprecedented melding of action and story. (Deep breath.) Okay, so we might be a little excited. But have you seen this video? One watch, and we think you’ll be just as en garde! as we are. And by that we mean: ready to play. Immediately.
