Kalypso Media has presented a release schedule for their upcoming line-up of games, and there are a few interesting entries for role-playing enthusiasts to set their sights on. Among them are a definitive release date for Noumena Studios' The Dark Eye: Demonicon, a significant delay to bitComposer's Jagged Alliance: Back in Action, and a previously unannounced Dungeons Game of the Year Edition.
Humble Bundle has a new bundle that packs Dungeons, Dungeons 2, Dungeons 3, and a bunch of DLC. As always, a percentage of profits from the bundle go to charity.
Dungeons & Dragon’s most famous sibling comes back to Kickstarter in February
I am just playing through the first game in the series, and really enjoying it. They've done great job with the game, and consequent patching it (I understand there were balancing issues at launch).
But I don't understand why they're taking the sequel on Kickstarter. The first game should have been proving grounds for them, to be able to take on sequel with sales from the first game. I don't know the figures behind it, or the business model they're going with, and how much of it is driven by the necessity, financial greed, or gauging the interest for sequel (often used to then seek further funding from private investors, when goals at met, demonstrating demand, as it was done with Kingdom Come Develierance).
