I've been looking through a lot of Kickstarters lately. I've never really backed anything there except for that one porn thing, but I know a few of my favourite games (Darkest Dungeon and Hollow Knight) started as Kickstarter projects.

We all mostly know about the disasters, but what are some genuinely good products that came out of Kickstarter? Not just video games. And I don't mean just things that made money (which is an easy enough list to find) but just things that you backed or heard about that actually turned out really well.

I really only pay attention to video game Kickstarters. But I did back an anime dubbing project that went well enough.

Elite: Dangerous and Star Citizen both doing well and started on kick starter. Star Citizen is still fully who knows where and when or if it will actually come out.

Yooka-Laylee. It's a blegh game, but it made a TON of money on kickstarter, and it technically released. I wouldn't recommend playing it though

Yeah that's what I was trying to avoid when I made this topic. If I go on Kickstarter I can see that Mighty Number 9 and Yooka Laylee and Star Citizen were amazing success stories. But I'm more interested in stuff that was kickstarted that was actually, you know, good.

Shantae: Half Genie Hero was a Kickstarter project too, and it's an awesome game.

We'll find out on Tuesday if Bloodstained is one, or if it's another Mighty Number 9.
Although the 8 bit prequel was pretty sweet.
