DT:Geeta Games has billed Lily Looking Through as an adventure game for all ages, which rings true as it offers a gently rising difficulty curve that adventure and puzzle game veterans will complete in maybe a few hours. That's not to say some of the puzzles aren't taxing but most gamers will find they can progress quickly through the first few areas. However, there's something to be said for a quiet, gentle game that can take you on a journey as effortlessly as Lily Looking Through and that's something to be thankful for.
PixlBit | "Say what you want about Kickstarter, but it has breathed games into existence that otherwise wouldn’t have had a chance, and allowed artists to construct personal expressions without having to resort to eating dog food to survive. The end results may not always be extraordinary, but sometimes they are still triumphant, as with Lilly Looking Through, a Kickstarter success that asked for $18,000 and ended up with $33,000+ for a point-and-click adventure starring a little girl with time-traveling goggles. The game is beautiful, but brief, with amazing art direction and sublime animation."
DHGF: Welcome back to the fourth installment of Diehard GameFAN’s look at the world of crowdfunding. Last week we looked at the internet drama surrounding Sam Suede, while this week we’re looking at two very different results that occurred when two of the most successful companies on Kickstarter went back for a second dip in the crowdfunding pool. As always, we’ll also look at projects I’ve personally backed since last week and give you a list of ten crowdfunding projects that should be on your radar. Let’s get to it.
DHGF: Last week, we looked at some Kickstarter failures and why they didn’t meet their funding goals, along with the usual sections. This week we look at the Sam Suede controversy, why it happened, why it really wasn’t a controversy in the first place and how it shows the dangers of not thinking things through before you open your yap. Now, without further ado, let’s take a look at some crowd funding.
