Welcome to The Funding Crowd, supplementary edition #23.1! We were running a little late on issue #23 (particularly with respect to ending deadlines of a couple Hidden Gems) but there were a few more projects that we really wanted to cover. Now we bring you this fine selection of currently-running relaunches and follow-on campaigns, all for game projects which should look familiar to longtime GOL readers.
Dropsy
For the coulrophobic among us who were secretly delighted that Jay Tholen's clown-based adventure game had previously failed, I have bad news! Jay is determined to bring Dropsy to our computer screens and has in fact already hit his slightly lower goal of $15k, with another week to make some stretch goals, including a commissioned soundtrack by composer Chris Schlarb of NightSky HD fame. If you're considering pledging to this one, be sure to check out the utterly awesome "Reward Bot" video for a musical run down of the various tiers!
Lords of Xulima
Having already secured funds for its game via Indiegogo, Numantian Games has launched a Lords of Xulima follow-on Kickstarter campaign in order to help speed up the time to release. The modest $10k goal was already reached with over a week remaining, and a couple of special tiers have been made available to previous Indiegogo supporters for bonus items exclusive to the new campaign.
Elliot Quest
Inspired by Zelda II, Elliot Quest is a 2D platforming adventure game with fluidly animated retro pixel art. Having raised $1500 on a flexibly-funded Indiegogo campaign, Ansimuz Games have reached half of their Kickstarter goal to raise the final $5k they need to publish their game. It's already estimated to be around 70% complete and supporters will be likely to see the game in early 2014.
Bloom: Memories
The third time is a charm for Studio Fawn, who have relaunched their gorgeous and unique exploration and stealth action-RPG, and are progressing well, reaching $25k of the needed $40k. New readers may be interested to know that Bloom: Memories is a story-driven isometric ARPG, with an emphasis on offering both non-violent and combat oriented paths to players, each with it's own strengths and weaknesses. We've covered it here twice in the past, and look forward to its release. DRM-free downloads start at $10, and eschewing early-bird tiers, it appears they will remain that way!
See you next week ... In the meantime remember to watch our crowdfunding wiki to keep updated/to keep tabs about the lastest crowdfunded Linux games. Bye! ;)

Surprising though. Even Crysis appear to be buckling under the Linux pressure, and Unity is mopping up, so I think it's only a matter of time until all these Windows-only (or heavily Windows-focussed) engines sort it out.

Thanks for the feedback, we can certainly do that :)
