Once the golden boy of the gaming press, crowdfunding lost much of its steam. It turns out that making games is hard and expensive, and there’s never a guarantee that a game will actually see the light of day (we’re looking at you, Star Citizen). However, reports of crowdfunding’s death are exaggerated and it’s still kicking, with its fair share of interesting titles in the pipeline from both Kickstarter and Fig.
For years, Pokémon fans have been practically begging Nintendo to give us something like a proper Pokémon MMORPG. That request has as of yet gone unheeded. Fortunately, developer Crema saw a niche that desperately needed filling, and went ahead with the creation of Temtem, a "massively multiplayer creature-collection adventure."
The game has soared past its original Kickstarter goal and looks like it could be a huge hit. So what is Temtem, exactly? Read on to learn more.
In Starfighter Inc., your worth as a pilot is defined by the missions you’re willing to take on. Your assignments may be dangerous — or morally dubious — but at the end of the day, it’s the difficult jobs that reap the best rewards.

What if humans never reached the top of the food chain? In Pine, survival of the fittest is in full effect, and there are plenty of other species who consider humans to be prey.

Gamepedia and the game's developer, Twirlbound, are pleased to announce the Official Pine Wiki.
The Far Reaches, which just began a Kickstarter campaign, has brought its official wiki to Gamepedia! A next generation sci-fi MMORPG, The Far Reaches is set at the edge of the galaxy on frontier planets and has several innovative systems. Players can engage in team based world PVP that has consequences and matters. NPCs are as interactive and part of the world as players are. Crafting is a rich, complex system where dedicated crafters can excel and create the best obtainable goods. Not only are houses highly customizable, but players can band together and create cities; the mayor can designate NPC areas, which will woo affluent NPCs to your city!
