The theme of today’s list is “quirky entertainment (ok and one toy) projects that look super awesome, but need a bit of a push to get them to the finish line!”
The Scary Godmother Doll
Who wouldn’t want a godmother with wild, curly red hair who prefers leather jackets to cardigans and might just have a trick or two up her sleeves (along with some treats)?
The doll is based on a series of popular character designed by Jill Thompson. In addition to being an amazing artist, Jill is also a staunch advocate for creator’s rights.
Edo Superstar
These guys had me at “Japanese-style RPG featuring a monkey as a main character.” Kickstarter is a great platform for featuring video games, but there’s a lot of competition on the site, so you’ve got to bring something special to the table to differentiate yourself. Which Edo Superstar has done – to the tune of more than 550 backers.
StarCraft Universe
Okay, so, the people at Upheaval Arts know they’re pulling on a lot of heartstrings with this game. I have fond memories of playing the original StarCraft when it came out almost fifteen years ago, and I’ve enjoyed many a Quick Match on Battle.net.
One of the awesome things about this project is that they’re going through with Blizzard’s blessing. Other franchises, like Final Fantasy, have laid the smack-down on similar Kickstarters, so Blizzard’s attitude is a breath of fresh air.
