The Obduction Kickstarter was a success.

Cyan’s Obduction survived the kickstarter. They have met their goal and can now get to work. Here is a video celebrating their success.

Their latest post discusses some interesting features. For example, a roadtrip mode:

The Roadtrip Mode needs a bit more explaining. As we’ve mentioned before, we’ve found that our previous games – in spite of the fact that they were single player – were usually played by more than one person. Many times it was a big advantage for two people to explore together in front of the computer, or share clues over the phone. We thought it would be fun to support that idea! Roadtrip Mode allows two people to share the exploration via the internet. One player would be the “driver” – moving and interacting, while the other player would be a “passenger” – following where the “driver” goes, but able to freely look around on their own computer. They will be able to talk with each other, offering advice or pointing out highlights. And the players can switch the “driver” and “passenger” whenever they want. It seems like a great way to facilitate something that happens naturally – and let players share the journey.

Help an awesome girl with an awesomely groovy project.

A good friend of mine from the Slackers forums has a cool daughter attempting to make a super special awesome kickstarter project called “The Beaded Body”

I’m super excited to get going on this sculpture. I’ll use off-loom beadweaving techniques with a needle and thread to weave a complete covering in beads from around the world onto a life-size female form. I see this project as the first in a series of beaded human figures.

Here’s a pic of the miniature model I’m working on to demonstrate the process. The finished model will be a reward!

Depending on how much you donate they also have some cool prizes! Check out the kickstarter for details!
