The Kickstarter for Heart Forth, Alicia now includes stretch goals for potential Wii U and 3DS versions. We’ll see the game on Nintendo’s home console if funds hit $200,000, and if donations reach $245,000, it’ll be on Nintendo’s handheld as well. Both versions are realistic possibilities, as the Kickstarter has already reached $164,000 in donations with about two weeks remaining.

Check out the Kickstarter page for Heart Forth, Alicia here. It’s a pretty neat-looking ’90s-inspired Metroidvania RPG.

Thanks to Spookoyo for the tip.

Adam Creations has taken to Kickstarter in hopes of funding its new RPG, “Courier”. The game will be released on Wii U, PC, Mac, and Linux in 2015 – assuming the funding goal is met.

Courier is a JRPG-like experience with a unique story in which players take on the role of a courier as opposed to a brave warrior. Information acts as your “weapon” in a land struggling with war.

There’s lots more information about Courier on the Kickstarter page here. It has quite a ways to go before hitting its $24,000 target.

With Pier Solar HD missing its April release window, you may have been wondering about what happened to the game. Watermelon provided an update today and confirmed that the new launch is targeted for June.

As for why Pier Solar HD is experiencing a delay, the studio explained:

– Beta test is still going on: the game is super stable but some bugs are still being found. We can’t, in our right mind, ignore those and go for release and rely on patches from day one. As long as there’s a bug, there will be a fix until the game is as smooth as the original.

– Never-ending perfectionism: During the development not only did we program some enhancements to the game such as the Director’s Cut, but also some other improvements are being made to make Pier Solar better in usability and gameplay. Some of these improvements came a bit late in the project but we considered them essential for this release. Don’t worry. We’re not adding new things every day, our scope is 100% closed by now, but some extra dev time was added due to those new features.

– There’s bureaucracy involved: Only after the game passes WM’s internal QA can we consider it Gold Master, and send to our distribution channels (Aka: Steam, PSN, XBLA, e-Shop…) and this process not only takes a bit of time but it also makes sure that our game is compliant with their standards. Only after we’re certified, we’ll be able to get a final release date.
