3 Kickstarters makes a post?
1. I'm a big fan of public-domain art1. And there's a fair body of music in the public domain that has no freely available recordings of that music. The Musopen project is working on changing that; their current project is all of Chopin's works - plus some original compositions2, if they hit a stretch goal they're less than $2K from.
2. Are you a fan of The Middleman3? They're crowdfunding a new Middleman graphic novel. It's $5K from being printed in color.
3. I'm not a huge video gamer. When inXile announced their kickstarter for Torment - a spiritual successor to the deepest (and most assumption-challenging) CRPG I'd ever played4 - I thought that was about as excited as I could get about a video game.
I... may have been wrong.
It turns out that Cyan Entertainment - the makers of Myst and Riven - is still out there, making games.5 This morning, they put up a Kickstarter.
They'd like to create a spiritual successor to Myst. New game, new world, but aiming for a similar experience.
Yes. Yes, please.
1 [Insert rant about the ridiculous duration of copyright here.]
2 From modern composers, not Chopin. He's dead.
3 If you have no idea what I'm talking about, I'll lend you the complete series. It's only 12 episodes. (Sadly.)
4 Not that the list is that long. But others seem to also share my opinion.
5 I somehow thought that they'd petered out and disbanded sometime in the last decade. Keshwyn informs me they've been hard at work porting their earlier games over to iOS and Android.
