This looks interesting and the guy doesnt ask for much. Please help as this could be a close call.

Looks cool.

About to fail its kickstarter though  :\

I think it sounded immensely cool, but when I saw the AI tech demos it really wasn't impressive to me.

Hah, really?.. the write-up did indeed sound promising.

Its such a small amount and cute monsters. Hope he gets what he needs. Too early to predict failure yet.

Slightly over £20.000 raised!   Only £2000 left!   MAN! When I last checked they had raised like £15.000!

 

How much have you funded, my fellow Norwegian forumite?  ;)

I always pay what I have to pay for a normal full game. Its 10 punds in this case. I support many projects and this is my standard rule :)

 

I have backed 20 projects (19 video games and one board game). 5 of them were not funded. 2 or 3 of the non-funded seems to have found money elsewhere so they may come to pass. 2 projects are finished (Warlords from Sweden and the Defense Grid expansion). I am most exited about Battle World: Kronos and Planetary Annihilation

How fares the Swede in Kickstarter? :)

Looks like they're picking up their models from out-of-house:

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw these models in other games as well.

 

 Edit: It may be that bitgem, aka Matt, is actually Matthias Andre (one of the devs on tinykeep)

Edit2: Yup, http://bitgem3d.com/

 

I guess if you desperately want sneak peeks of 3d models for tinykeep you can browse around his stuff.

This swede has looked at many projects but hasn't funded a single one.

 

Some projects look promising but I don't know how they will turn out. The dealbreaker in some projects is that while promising, some gameplay decisions are critical for me and since I don't know how they will turn out, I can't support them  :\

I watched the video and failed to see a single thing that could be called impressive, just a bunch of skeletons primitively chasing the player character, and one clumsy giant. The tech demo looks like Aurora engine mod. 

Emergent monster conflicts, like "leading one type of monsters to fight anothe type" was present even in primitive shooters from 90s like Doom, etc. (when they shot each other, they fought), or Strife, which was actually an impressive game for the time.
