“A Medieval Space-folktale with action-RPG and roguelike influences. You explore an abstract, storybook-like universe as a young space-knight in your trusty ship that functions as your armour, your figurative warhorse and your mobile home as well. You need to manage your resources, upgrade your ship, be skillful in combat and make the right choices during encounters.”
Fabular is currently in its last week on Kickstarter and is edging pretty close to its goal. Hopefully it’ll cross the finish line soon. :)

A comedic co-op turn based strategy from the developers of Castle Crashers and BattleBlock Theater.
“Master the destiny of a full cast of tragically unique heroes as you plot a course across an apocalyptic wonderland! Dogged at every step by a mysterious and power-hungry narrator (Will Stamper, “BattleBlock Theater”), you’ll need to rally your troops and steel your wits if you hope to survive a hostile world filled with sinister robots, deadly vampires and brutally adorable cupcake people!”

“A casual approach to the RTS genre; easy to learn and play with no base building aspects. The game focuses on CO’s with special powers, capture points that generate resource, and controlling/positioning your units effectively.”
Definitely inspired by Advance Wars, just done in real time and coming to PC. There will be online multiplayer, as well as a map editor and the ability to play on user created maps. Still has a ways to go in development.

I have a bit of a soft spot for concept art, so thought I’d do another separate post for one of the games featured. This is from Nothing Ever Remains Obscure, which is a story driven puzzle game that has beautiful in game art as well.

“Nothing Ever Remains Obscure is a wonderful journey in a world of incredible beauty where a kid is the key to all locks and the night is not as frightening as we all could think.
“Immerse yourself in a story-driven first-person game featuring puzzles with intuitive controls. The environment is heavily connected to the characters and their past. The world of N.E.R.O. is magical and varied, making exploring an ongoing challenge.”
