The creators behind S.T.A.L.K.E.R. have formed a new studio known as West Games and launched a Kickstarter campaign today for a spiritual successor to the series.

“Areal” is a shooter described as “a massive and intricately detailed open world environment that is extremely varied and colorful, even though it’s set in a post-apocalyptic setting.” The game is totally non-linear, meaning “players can choose how their characters act and speak – everything from how you talk to who you kill changes the storyline of Areal.” Battles are influences by several elements such as “your character’s traits, your choice of supplies and weaponry, your current surroundings, whether or not anomalies are present, the possible presence of mutants, and the usage of various metamorphites that serve to enhance and upgrade your abilities.”

West Games hopes to raise $50,000 by July 24. If successful, Areal will come to Wii U, PS4, Xbox One, PC, Mac, and Linux. You can check out the Kickstarter campaign here.

Thanks to Brandon for the tip.

In an extremely close call, Popup Dungeon’s Kickstarter has reached a grand total of $102 455 with PayPal backers meaning that it is now officially coming to Wii U. Enrique Dryere of Triple.B.Titles had this to say about the final total:

“Thank you, everyone,“Thank you, thank you, thank you! We never expected to reach $100,000, but thanks to your help and support, we’ve made it, and we’ll be doing everything we can to bring you a Wii U version as fast as possible.”

“I can’t describe how much this means to us. You’ve made it possible for us to live our dream, and in return we will give you the best game we can possibly make. We’ll be working as hard as we cane, day and night, to bring Popup Dungeon to you as quick as possible. Well, most of us will be working hard…”

“I truly hope our game will live up to all of your expectations.”

Being a port of the PC version, the developers hope to get the release out sometime in 2015 at the earliest. It will be an eShop release with some bonus features exclusive to the Wii U.

OMOCAT has announced a 3DS stretch goal for its Kickstarter project “OMORI”. A portable version for Nintendo’s handheld is set at $180,000. With 22 days remaining, the campaign has raised a little over $68,000 thus far.

Here’s a brief overview of OMORI:

OMORI is a surreal psychological horror RPGmaker game. You must travel between two worlds, both welcoming, both concealing the same secrets. Meet new (old) people, fight new (old) enemies, explore your own memories, and uncover some hidden truths along the way (although you wish you hadn’t.) When the time comes, you can only choose one.
