Nice news from Down Under, as I just got the word that Malevolence: The Sword of Ahkranox is now a Kickstarter project. This great looking old-school turn-based RPG has gotten a few big pushes this past week or so thanks to a great and funny article that goes into game design and manages to bring Kevin Bacon into the mix without him actually being involved in the project. Er, go read it, as it makes more sense that me explaining it. Anyway, the new digs over at Kickstarter, plus the boost from Kevin Bacon (hee hee) has helped the game see a nice kick towards its goal, so go do the right thing and support these guys and gals! We need more Infinte RPGs like this, I say!

Heehee, you did your research! That Kevin Bacon article has been getting around, too. Even made it onto Penny Arcade! http://penny-arcade.com/report/the-cut-article/alex-norton-explains-how-kevin-bacon-helped-design-a-game-thats-both-persis

Someone actually sent me that Kevin Bacon link last week, but I get so much email that I just saw it while I was writing the post. I love how the explanation takes the mystery out of how some games handle this process. It would be nice to see more developers do this, as there are way too many jaded folks out there who think it’s easy to get a game doing what it should do when there’s a lot of numbers moving around under all those visuals and sound…

Indeed! As you’ve probably noticed, we try our best to keep our doors open so people can see how the game is made. People certainly seem to appreciate it! Thanks again for the plug!
