The one I'm looking forward to most is Satellite Reign. It's basically the spiritual successor to the old Syndicate games (back when it was an amazing strategy game rather than a crappy FPS). Made by some of the original Syndicate team and nice guys to boot (I interviewed them for my website a few months ago).
There's also Concrete Jungle, which I found via Kotaku a couple of weeks ago. I played the Flash version and it's a pretty cool puzzle game, definitely worth a look.

It appears to have already been funded, you posted the link within it's final 10 hours and I wasn't checking this thread very often because I assumed nobody was interested in it/the subject. xP
Satellite Reign is a pretty solid looking syndicate homage though. It was one of the games that made me think of making this thread, really.

Hi Hi!
Formicarium - an ant sim/strategy game.
Cube and Me has been relaunched - a bizzare pet sim/rpg hybrid.
Yes, Your Grace - a text-based strategy in the spirit of 'King of Dragon Pass'.
And the best for last:
Crossing Souls - an 80s inspired action RPG.
I hope Innerspace makes it.

Ah crap. I've been refreshing this thread for the last few days but my comment filtering had reset itself and I missed these entries. I'll go through them when I'm back from work tomorrow. Thanks for keeping this thread going guys :3
(also, Innerspace just made it's funding)

The new Kickstarter for Shadowrun: Hong Kong is now up and running.
Also, the Kickstarter for Clannad should probably be mentioned when you make the new list.

Added. Looks pretty polished, and getting on so many platforms (and the various PC OSes) is a sign of ambition. Good job they already have footage to show because otherwise I would be worried about them being over-ambitious. Shame they didn't really underline more of the game's theme, story or attractions in the project opener video though.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Underworld settings are by far my favorite setting within the fantasy genre, ever since I've read quite a few of the Underdark books in Forgotten Realms. Really enjoyed all the games I played with settings like this (most recenty being the first Avernum remake, a brilliant cRPG). Can't wait to see Other Sides realization of this underworld setting, I'm definitely excited from what I've seen so far in terms of enemies and playable classes
Only my second game backed on KS, now the hard part...waiting!

Added. I didn't realise these were from the Ultima guys, though I've only ever played a single game of theirs way back when on the genesis when I was too young to really grasp the strategies and nuances involved in NOT getting utterly wrecked, heh.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Orion Trail is Oregon Trail in spaaaaace, with cute pixel art and cameos from other KS games.
Neptune, Have Mercy is a sci-fi submarine rogue-like.
Tahira looks an awful lot like The Banner Saga.

I just found out about this myself and am truly very excited to read about this project! I have also loved the original TJ&E game, still own my original copy I bought day 1 for my Sega Genesis. The game looks and sounds absolutely amazing and I can't wait to see what happens with the project. I really love the sound of the 4 player online co-op support, love the look and feel of the early concept videos and concept artwork, the idea of unlockables that carry over from playthroughs.
My god, this game NEEDS to happen and it NEEDS to be released for ALL platforms so everyone can get a chance to see this amazingly awesome game back in action!!

One of the updates released earlier today actually opened up voting on whether the visuals need tweaking. Given it's 2D art on a 3D background, a few of us have mentioned that things look a bit too much like cardboard cut-outs, plus the older style was slower paced and more brightly coloured and cartoony. Check out the updates so you can get a say on whether to have thick outlines, a brighter palette or shadows off / blobbed.

I prefer if people only suggest games that they themselves are interested in (or that they think are noteworthy), otherwise I could end up adding pretty much every digital gaming kickstarter to this list. Still, I added all of these...
Thanks for the suggestions!

I'm a sucker for sandbox games with terraforming / crafting, with or without stories or combat.
I once tried to do a Lets Play of Terraria with my brother and his friend (NSFW for really dumb childish humour), but because I'm an idiot and a customisation fanatic, I spent the entire video sculpting the ground and then build the framework for my base. Skipped the "small house" stage and ended up going straight for the "medium castle", heh. I ended up cutting out 90% of it and just leaving in snippets of our really weird conversations. I'm the one with the deeper, really dumb sounding voice. For reference, our repeated references to mongolians is because my bro named his guy "Mongo", and we decided he was a throat singer.
...yeah, it only gets dumber from there :P
OH YEAH, THE TOPIC.
So yeah, Izle was an instant back for me. Couldn't resist, even if my wallet hates me right now~

This one I backed but never advertised here. It failed though
Mulaka - Origin Tribes

That's a real shame. If I had known about it, I would have definitely put it on the list.
Games that don't have a lot of material to show do tend to struggle to get funding, perhaps because it's a higher risk to backers who can't see a clearer view of the shape the game will take. Hopefully they'll try again once they have a little more example work to show. The biggest part about success on kickstarter is to make people aware of the project. Without that awareness, even the best projects are doomed to failure.
If you happen to see them making a second attempt later on, be sure to leave a message in here and I'll put it up on the list!

For new crowdfund projects, please refer to the latest in the comment section!
The thread opener is currently in 'zombie mode' and almost never updates, sorry!
This thread is for currently running videogame crowdfund projects, because nothing sucks more than hearing of a game AFTER it finished funding, when you missed the bonus goodies and discounts. Feel free to discuss anything related to keep the thread bumped so that your favourite projects get more exposure! Suggest any projects you think deserve a mention. The post-crowdfund thread has been retired due to the sheer size, sorry!
