Back in February 2011, I wrote about a lovely little game called Tiny Barbarian, which I was quite taken with.
In August of this year, RockPaperShotgun tipped me off to the happy news that Tiny Barbarian was coming back, and I was very happy to hear about it.
This morning, Michael Stearns of StarQuail Games sent me an e-mail to let me know that Tiny Barbarian DX has been launched as a Kickstarter project, and it needs our support.
Here's his pitch video:
And here's an updated gameplay trailer.
I'm hoping to write up some questions for Michael to post on here for an interview, but in the meantime, if retro action games are your thing, please consider tossing him a few dollars. They're already $1,000 towards their $12,000 goal after just one day, so I'm hopeful this can gain a lot of momentum. I was a big fan of the first game, which didn't cost a cent, so I'd really like to see him rewarded with funding for a bigger, better sequel. The episodic format sounds great for the gameplay style, and being able to buy in once to get all the episodes seems like a solid deal.
And if you want to check out the original Tiny Barbarian for yourself, it's still a free download. Just click the link from my first article above, and give it a try.
Go! Bring Tiny Barbarian DX to life!
