“— Kicking It Old School: The Peril Of Kickstarter Nostalgia | Rock, Paper, ShotgunBeginning with Schafer and Double Fine’s bid to make an adventure like they used to in the old days, to Fargo’s relaunching the Wasteland saga, to Obsidian’s promising an RPG like Planescape, to The Banner Saga’s tile-based combat, to Planetary Annihilation’s pledge to be like RTS games you remember.
Even at more modest levels, it’s been about bringing back card trading games, old-school platforming franchises being revived or imitated, a thousand SNES-style RPGs, and so many pixel-styled graphics that the 80s looks sparse in hindsight. Developers have been stating in their own pitch videos, and subsequent interviews, that Kickstarter has often been about finally escaping the clutches of the publishers, able to spread their wings and be creative where the evil money-men would crush them, able to innovate, innovate, INNOVATE! But almost no one is.

“ Wo sind weltweit boomende Genres wie Fantasy im deutschen Film? Nicht existent. Trotz mindestens einem halben Dutzend erstklassiger hiesiger Romanautoren auf diesem Gebiet. Trotz einer deutschen Fantasy- und Horror-Tradition, die wie der Nibelungenschatz darauf wartet, gehoben zu werden. ”— Deutscher Filmpreis: "Das Grauen... das Grauen!" | Kultur | ZEIT ONLINE

“ Task: Make a screensaver for 2012— Code & form » Screensaver culture”
- Your task is to come up with a concept for a screensaver that is both suitable to the screensaver format and updated to a 2012 understanding of interaction design. We are looking for ideas that go beyond the traditional screensaver format, or which reinvent that format by applying design thinking to a field full of visual cliche.
- Two general directions are suggested (but not required):
1. Ambient data gadgets – screensavers as data aggregators and visualizers.
2. Computational graphics – parametric visuals.- If your idea is too ambitious to realize in a 3-day time frame we want to see convincing screen mockups of how the screensaver would work. But we would rather see a real demo that’s rough around the edges than a slick Photoshop sketch. You must submit at least one Processing sketch illustrating part of your screensaver’s functionality.

"I'd love to help kickstart continued development! And 0 EUR/month really does make fiscal sense too... maybe I'll even get a shirt?" (there will be limited edition shirts for two and other goodies for each supporter as soon as we sold the 200)
