      I just found this turn based RPG on Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/vitaumbra/vita-umbra-the-life-of-shadows/posts It's called Vita Umbra - The Life of Shadows. It looks like a pretty interesting game, despite it's extremely low fundraising goal. The 2 songs for the game that have been posted so far, are shockingly good.

      Got my physical copy in the mail yesterday. I'll probably never open it, and only play the downloaded version, but I'm still pleased at the turnaround. I've been backing a small pile of Kickstarters and this is the second (after Order of the Stick) to deliver the physical goods. From completion on 5/20 to delivery 7/23, that's some good speed there. :)

      unemployment quest was a short and very fun game. A new funded zombie-survival RPG is closing in six days and could really use your support. CHECK out DEAD STATE and help fund another GREAT game!!

      Just finished the game and thought it was very fun. Also I would back a Kickstarter for "Underemployment Quest" in a heartbeat. You could make it a series :)

      Just completed the game verry nice with all the fights leading right up to the end boss fight verry good story line, only things that annoyed me a little where that you cant get to the boss area with out a ship so you cant make your way via land and when you wanted to recover from magic like HP theres no indication of how much it regenerates but all in all a verry good game, can not wait to play the woes of underemployment game thanks for a fun game.

      Creator Sean L. on June 16, 2012

      Very fun game, and also about 2 1/2 to 3 hours to beat. Buying potions helped in the end... lol I also thought Underemployment quest might be fun.... Maybe for the next project?

    14. Build.small

      Creator Eric on June 16, 2012

      Hey Great game! Just sat through the whole game beat it in about 2.2hours! It was good I look forward to Underemploment quest! (I know it was a joke but would still be fun)

      Thanks for the game!

      I finished the game last night, in one continuous shot. Great job. The creative is very inventive. I was very addicted. It's probably for the best that it wasn't too long :). I was impressed with the quality of everything. I second the other poster below that I would love to back another of your projects.

      This game is fun! I just need to figure out how to make the windowed screen larger, or how to stop the full screen from stretching on my widescreen monitor...

      Downloaded it and tried it for a few minutes (have to go to work now). It looks REALLY good.

    29. Me.small

      Creator Charles DeYoe on June 15, 2012

      All right! I've sent everyone who's backed the project at the $5 or higher level a download link for the game. Now I'm going to bed and will be updating the website so that people can buy the game in the morning! I'll be posting a big update as well!

      Glad you're liking it so far! (As for the dad blocking the doorway, lot of the characters have random movements, so that's possible a possible annoyance. They'll move away eventually though.)

      So far so good! Loving my first attack skill. "Firm Handshake?" Brilliant.

      Only bug/bother was the my father got himself stuck on the exit of my house so I couldn't leave unless I went back upstairs and went back down.

      Are you going to make the game available through Steam?

    41. Me.small

      Creator Charles DeYoe on June 7, 2012

      I'll be asking for addresses once I actually have the CDs (so I'll be sure they're all accurate, in case anyone ends up moving).

    42. Imagescauikqee.small

      Creator John Falcon on June 7, 2012

      Are you sending out a survey to get the address for mailings of the hardcopy?

      Creator blankdoor on June 7, 2012

      I'm so excited this is finally happening; all I can say is thank you! I just managed to find a job myself after being unemployed for 8 months, so I can relate to the subject matter, as I've battled both self doubt and depression in that time. I'm just glad that there is a game that could help other people understand those feelings!
