Oooh. nice!

Talking about Kaijus, did you hear about another indie dev game called Kaiju-a-gogo?
It's still in development but it basically looks like it would be an isometric 2d game inspired by XCom where the player controls a mad scientist out to conquer the world with a Kaiju of their creation.

It had a funding campaign of it's own that managed to achieve successful funding on Indiegogo.

Nope! Totally missed it! :( But it sounds like it did well. :)

Well it only met basic goal but so far sound promising. It will release with one mad scientist/Kaiju pair, but if it sells well other mad scientists and Kaijus should be added as DLC(they were originally stretch goals).

If anything, this would not be too different from what they achieved with Sword of the Stars: The Pit, a roguelike game they previously attempt to crowdfund as well. It met only partial funding goal on indiegogo(indiegogo, unlike kickstarter, is not an all or nothing deal so even partially funded projects who don't mean their basic goals can still cash in) but still had enough to start development.
As a results they started with only 3 characters and their basic roguelike dungeon crawling gameplay and later, as the game proved successful began adding back things that were originally planed as stretches goals(which were not meant since even basic goal wasn't met) via paid DLCs.
Getting the game out was at their own costs due to it's partial funding, but it's proved successful that through DLCs(which also added tons of new monsters, items and layers to the dungeon) they went from a base of only 3 human characters to a character roster of at least 8-9 covering all the playable races of the Sword of the Stars universe(which is itself a 4X strategy game).

So if you ever wished to play a roguelike game where you can play as simian lizard people, psychic telekinetic telepath dolphins empath, space dragon-bird taur mercenary or psychic marsupials(reformed and, as of recently, undead edition are avaiable) The Pit is your game.

Oh, and I forgot the bug soldier dude too(who start with a hand-held flamethrower as one of his sidearms).

Haha! The Pit sounds awesome.

Looks like someone bought the custom Kaiju/Scientist spot on the gogo -- any idea who might have done that? $4000 is a lot!

I sincerely don't know. I kinda need to thank them though because the game perhaps wouldn't have happened if not for them though!

I -miiiight- know who is to blame for the inclusion of Quebec city on the game world map on my end though >.>; <.<;

Heheheh. :)

This said, while I like mechagodzilla lookalike Ginormasaurus, I'm hoping that the game is successful enough to see the two other original mad scientists designs make it into the game as well. I'm partial to giant plant monster "Shrubby".
