So I found another Kickstarter that really caught my eye: River City Ransom: Underground! The Kunio Kun series is one of my favorite beat-em-up series and I would like to show you guys that they are making a game for it. We know that the Kunio games have been quite scarce, but this game will let you relive the River City Ransom experience once more with different characters, fighting moves, and much more! Here is the provided link: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/combitstudios/river-city-ransom-underground
 
Right now, I am torn between what to fund first: Shantae or this. I love them both!
 
OHMgosh
Definitely backing this, I loved the GBA version so much.
 
I like how jovial and unserious the Conatus guys are in the video.

Is a major part of the reason I'm donating. I've never even heard of River City, but their attitude alone has swayed my decision.
 
Bad timing for me, honestly. I've already thrown all the money I've got at MN9 and Shantae, but I still wish them the best of luck.

I don't like the looks of that one nerdy character with the lightsaber though, but everything else looks good.
 
Update: Yoshihisa Kishimoto (creator of Kunio-kun and Double Dragon) has joined the River City Ransom: Underground team!

I backed this right away. I'm a huge fan of the Kunio-Kun series; I still play my NES copies.

The sprite animation in this project looks amazing.

Also, we have less then 6k to go! Let's pump it up!
 
Is this the goddamned month where all the creative indies come out to play!?

I mean, they aren't bad games, but is this the sort of innovation and creativity you want out of kickstarter? More of the same stuff?

Animator Justin Cyr has joined the team and we reached enough for the game to come to Linux and Mac! Also, We can start paying through Paypal!
 
Were you guys planning on keeping the Paypal open for awhile after the Kickstarter ends? I was going to get this on PC anyway, but I'd still like to chip in, so my buddies who game on consoles have a chance to pick this one up too. Alas, I really don't have the spare cash at the moment to chip in now, but I'd still like to contribute down the line.

EDIT: Annnnd I just took a look at your Paypal page, which totally answered my question. An extra month, huh? I'll try to throw a little cash your way, but I'm not making any promises.
