BougeRV’s DuneRover: A Motorized Wagon That Conquers Sand and Hills

BougeRV’s DuneRover is a remote-controlled, motorized wagon designed for hauling heavy gear over difficult terrain. It features dual 400W motors with 33Nm of torque, allowing it to pull over 200 pounds up hills and through soft sand. While the Kickstarter prototype includes unnecessary animated LED lights and a remote control, the core utility is strong.

Double Fine bets on Brutal Legend 2 with a $100M Amnesia Fortnight Kickstarter stunt

Double Fine is running Amnesia Fortnight 2026 as a Kickstarter where backers vote on prototypes to become small games, with a tongue-in-cheek $100 million stretch goal to make Brutal Legend 2, illustrating the studio's post-Microsoft independence and ongoing tradition of game jams and prototype-driven development.

Double Fine bets big on Amnesia Fortnight 2026 Kickstarter with a $100M Brutal Legend 2 stretch goal

Double Fine’s Amnesia Fortnight 2026 Kickstarter includes a cheeky, near-impossible stretch goal to fund Brütal Legend 2 at $100 million; the campaign is framed around a two-week game jam and a behind-the-scenes documentary, with the astronomical goal unlikely to be reached and the focus instead on smaller, prototype titles under a new Double Fine label.

Double Fine Bets on a $100 Million Kickstarter Stretch Goal to Build Brutal Legend 2

Double Fine Bets on a $100 Million Kickstarter Stretch Goal to Build Brutal Legend 2

Double Fine, now independent after parting from Xbox earlier this year, says it will develop Brütal Legend 2 if its Kickstarter stretch goal hits $100 million. The campaign has raised about $284,000 of a $400,000 goal so far—a target largely treated as a tongue-in-cheek joke given today’s budgets—while the studio uses crowdfunding to stay afloat while pursuing bigger projects. Brütal Legend originally released in 2009, selling around 1.4 million copies, and the campaign is framed as a way to keep the studio alive while it seeks funding for larger titles.

The Guild Reunion Movie Smashes Kickstarter Record, Surpassing $5.7M

The Guild Reunion Movie Smashes Kickstarter Record, Surpassing $5.7M

Felicia Day’s The Guild: Ren Faire’d reunion movie has become the biggest crowdfunded film in history, raising $5.704 million from 37,455 backers—toppling the Veronica Mars Kickstarter record of $5,702,153—with about 38 hours to go in the campaign. The film reunites Day’s web series cast (Codex, Zaboo, Vork, Tink, Clara, Bladezz) and features guests like Nathan Fillion, Misha Collins and Wil Wheaton. Day says the project demonstrates there’s still a path for indie storytelling outside big studios, even after California denied a tax credit, a point she argues should help independent projects under $10 million.

Stars Reach kicks off early access as terraforming sandbox MMO opens its gates

Stars Reach, the Kickstarter-backed sandbox MMORPG from Playable Worlds led by Raph Koster, enters early access today, offering a terraforming-forward galaxy where players can build governments, craft, trade, and shape ecosystems across a vast simulated universe. The current build covers core systems (combat, building, government, crafting, trade) but remains in active development, with a progression wipe planned before 1.0. Early-access editions cost $30 (base), $50, and $80, while the final launch next year will be free-to-play. The project has faced funding challenges and layoffs, casting some doubt on the timing, but a detailed six-month roadmap aims to deliver features like guilds, weather, spaceships, and more.
