The projects on Kickstarter range from the simple to the ambitious. While some are more successful than others, it is interesting to see the new ideas coming out. I just found out about Burning Suns, and I have to say that it looks pretty good.
Burning Suns takes you to a distant galaxy where over 300 empires are fighting for supremacy after having lived together for over a 1000 years. War is inevitable and you’ll need to use your leaders to perform tactical manoeuvres, engage in diplomacy as well as warfare and sabotage.
The creator is looking for £40.000 to finish the production of the game, containing over 400 components. But besides the financial support from crowdfunding, the creator Emil Larsen is also looking for the “crowd” (backers) who can help him finalize the game by doing extensive play testing towards balancing the game for tournament play.
It sounds like he is taking a bit of advice from the indie community and getting the feedback of backers before it is released to the general public. With a heavy space theme and tons of options, this could be a project to watch. You can find the Burning Suns Kickstarter page here. Take a look and check it out for yourself.
While not working as a Database Administrator, Keith Schleicher has been associated with Gaming Trend since 2003. While his love of video games started with the Telestar Alpha (a pong console with four different games), he trule started playing video games when he received the ill-fated TI-99/4A. While the Speech Synthesizer seemed to be the height of gaming, eventually a 286 AT computer running at 8/12 Hz and a CGA monitor would be his outlet for a while. Eventually he’d graduate to 386, 486, Pentium, and Athlon systems, building some of those systems while doing some hardware reviews and attending Comdex. With the release of the Dreamcast that started his conversion to the console world. Since then he has acquired an NES, SNES, PS2, PS3, PSP, GBA-SP, DS, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One S, Gamecube, Wii, Switch, and Oculus Quest 2. While not playing video games he enjoys bowling, reading, playing board games, listening to music, and watching movies and TV. He originally hails from Wisconsin but is now living in Michigan with his wife and sons.
