I talked a few weeks ago about the upcoming vampire RPG, Nighthawks, and now you can pledge your support for it over on Kickstarter, and while pledging, you can find out loads more about the game. Oh, you want me to do some of the hard work for you? Read on. …
The biggest problem faced by Early Access indie developers in 2017 is money. Weighed down by the heavy burden of having vast amounts of expendable cash, many indie developers are forced to slow and in some cases even stop the development of their games altogether. …
Christmas has been and gone and we are now in the early weeks of 2015 and we here at Reticule Towers are ready to bring you some thoughts on what we are looking forward to in the year ahead.

The Russian remake of plague-ridden survivalist-horror-adventure game Pathologic has had a successful Kickstarter so far having reached the $250,000 funding target and is closing in on the first stretch goal, but sadly it doesn’t look likely to reach the final stretch target with only three days to go. …
A creepy new trailer emerged at the tail end of last week for the Kickstarter version of Pathologic, a trailer which I sadly missed at first, otherwise you would have seen me talk about it much sooner. The Kickstarter for Pathologic is 13 days from closing at just under $20,000 away from being funded, and the project is bringing back all sorts of memories of when I was starting out with writing about games. Hit the break for more details and that creepy new video. …
Back in 2006, a little game from largely unknown Russian developers, Ice-Pick Lodge was released to largely middling reviews. It wasn’t until 2008 when Quinns wrote his amazing exploration of the game on Rock, Paper, Shotgun that I heard about the game.

Well, I know that if I don’t share it I’m just going to want to play the game now, even though I have promised myself to stay strong and wait until it is released before playing again. …
Creating satire always involves walking the fine line between being funny and just being annoying, whilst not being pointlessly offensive. Supreme League of Patriots, an upcoming episodic point and click adventure from indie studio No Bull Intentions, might be able to manage that responsibility and walk the line. Might. …
Back from rehabilitation, Gaming Crowdfunding Weekly cleans up its act and gets back to what really matters: underfunded puzzle platformers like Kodama, collectible miniatures making the transition to video games with Prodigy, fart-propelled naked spacemen in Cosmochoria and “Skyrim with bears” in Bear Simulator.
I don’t know where the time has got to this week, it is already Friday and I realise that I’ve entirely neglected to write about some fairly cool indie game news that has appeared in the past few days. This isn’t quite a Crowdfunding Weekly, even though one game has just landed itself on Kickstarter, rather a just a quick rundown on a handful of indie games of all flavours. Hit the break for word on Death in Candlewood, Warside and Divinity: Original Sin. …
