Kickstarter Game Update: Week 3

[spacealien_vamp]

I've been noticing a number of game designers and publishers announcing that they will be launching Kickstarter projects around September 15, so we may have a reprieve until then.

Looking back: Week 2.

I didn't back any new games this week.

Game I Viewed:
Belle of the Ball: A Fancy Schmancy Card Game

Status: 55% funded

This is a card game in which players use various actions to manipulate the attendance of guests at parties they are hosting as well as to gain the favor of the lovely Belle. I think the art looks great, and the theme of the game appears fun. I'm just a bit put off by the overdone wacky humor evidenced by the names of the guests on the example cards (such as "Gigglelack Lololol" and "Fffffffff Flippinbird").

I don't usually follow twitter, either. I keep meaning to post about WHY I am following twitter this month, but it just seems like too much work. (Seriously, here is my task list for the rest of the day, in the order of how much I'm looking forward to doing each task: reconcile my cc statements and pay the bills, watch my Netflix DVDs, write LJ entry, and place Japanese manga order. What is wrong with me?? How have I managed to transform fun things into chores?)

But since I loved Takenoko so much and the rest of the 'brain was less crazy mad in love with it, I found wilw's enthusiasm for the game to be a balm.
