** ''[[Tex Murphy]] – Project Fedora (2015)
** ''[[Shadowrun Online]]'' (Intended for a 2013 release)
** ''[[Star Citizen]]'' (The most crowdfunded project ever, has missed all promised deadlines<ref>Star Citizen/Squadron 42 and Cloud Imperium Games are mostly controversial for missing every promised deadine (2014... 2016... 2018...) and due to their most impressive technical feats being the upscaling of features and content that other games successfully implemented on a smaller scale first (rather than anything truly innovative). As of [[Perpetual Beta|Alpha 3.21]], it is in fact possible to explore an entire star system using 90% of the roster of previously announced ships and land vehicles, but [[Never Live It Down|most gamers are still of the perception that the game has made no progress at all]].</ref>, but as of December 2023 it is confirmed that the single player <s>campaign</s> companion game ''Squadron 42'' is feature complete, [[Genre Savvy|without announcing hard dates this time]], suggesting that ''Squadron 42'' will at least release by the end of 2024<ref>To be fair to Cloud Imperium Games, the efforts of a disgruntled and [[Crazy Jealous Guy|obsessive ex]]-[[Fan Dumb|fan]] from Brazil cooperating with a [[Creator/Derek Smart|rival]] of the [[Creator/Chris Roberts|CEO/Founder]] in the early days of [[Star Citizen|the project]] to sabotage it [[Malicious Slander|purely using false accusations]], the existence of an actual scam "game" ("Star Atlas") that [[Follow The Leader|stole the business model]] and just added [[Landmark Sale|the promise of NFTs]] for [[Good for Bad|spaceships clearly composed of]] [[Plagiarism|parts stolen from]] [[Elite Dangerous]] and [[Star Citizen]] vehicles to the mix but is [[Vaporware|everything]] the [[Hatedom]] claims Star Citizen is, the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] affecting development and the community's offline interactions, and of course the likely unachievable level of [[Perpetual Beta|feature creep]] has not helped Star Citizen's [[Rainmaking|reputation]] among outsiders looking at Cloud Imperium Games from afar. Nor does the name of the official annual convention, [[Unfortunate Names|CitizenCon]]. [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment|Best left]] at [[Natter|that]].</ref>)
** ''[[Wasteland (video game)|Wasteland]] 2'' (2015)
** ''The Last Days of Coney Island'' (Animated shorts directed by [[Ralph Bakshi]] in [[Development Hell]] since the 90s, funded in 2013, released in 2015)
Line 111 ⟶ 112:
** ''[[Mighty No. 9]]'' (Marred with controversy that [[Broken Base|broke its fanbase in two.]] Delayed countless times, released in June 2016 to a mixed reception.)
** ''[[Shenmue]] 3'' (Also [[Base Breaker|marred with controversy.]])
** ''[[Super Retro Squad]]'' (Spiritual Successor to [[Super Mario Bros Crossover]]
Line 118:
* [[Follow the Leader]]: While Kickstarter had hosted hundreds of gaming projects before [[Tim Schafer]], ''[[Double Fine]] Adventure'' caused several high profile developers to join in. It also paved the way for much more expensive projects: before DFA getting over 100k on Kickstarter was a bit of a stretch, now several projects have tried and succeeded getting money around and over the 500k range.
* [[Sturgeon's Law]]: Most submissions are ''really bad'' and are typically not funded ''at all''.
