Site that tracks Kickstarter-funded games?
« on: January 03, 2013, 04:45:41 pm »
Hey all,

I'll keep this shorter then my first attempt at this post. Given the large number of games getting their alpha-funding through Kickstarter, is there any one site you can go to that keeps tabs on the various games so you can check back on progress and what's going on?

I know that one of the games I contributed to - Starship Corporation, *checks* hm... finally released three new screenshots after a two month hiatus of the developer saying much of anything. With this sort of thing, it's easy to lost track of what's going on with the game and when (or if) newer playable demos or other information becomes available.

With a lot of the games, I could well expect that I simply forget that I ever contributed, especially if its eventual publication isn't well.. well publicized.

Kickstarter does have a status tab up top that gives you all updates for the projects you funded.

The problem is there are a number that I've not funded due to my doubts about the success of the project. However, I'd love to be proven wrong and see them published, but keeping track of them over the course of a few years probably won't happen.

1) Go to kickstarter.
2) select the menu on the top right that says "Me"
3) Click "my backed projects" and "select all"

It shortlisted all of the projects that you personally have supported.

For the projects you haven't funded:
Go to the project page,
click the star below the main graphic, and
select "my starred projects" on the menu hemmingjay indicated.

That said, some projects make their Kickstarter updates available only to backers, so you'd have to pitch in $1 just to get the news.

There's no aggregator I know of. You might be better off finding the home sites and forums of those projects and bookmarking them or some such.
