Kickstarter of Note: Buck

Wave interactive are a small studio, but one with big ambitions. Their latest project is a 2D Metroidvania style platformer which is planned for the Xbox One, PC, Mac, Linux and PS4. Set in a haunted and sombre post-apocalyptic wasteland, the game puts you in the guise of Buck, a motorcycle garage mechanic who decides to leave everything he knows behind in order to find the truth behind a girl's disappearance; all while struggling to adjust himself to a world he doesn't fully understand. The indie developer are hoping to raise $30,000 to get the game completed, and at the time of writing, they’re 20% of the way there already.

"We're excited to share with you Buck's Kickstarter," said Gal Kfir, project lead at Wave Interactive. "Over the years the game has evolved quite significantly along with the new campaign, we now also have playable pre-alpha of Buck! You now can experience the desolate and dangerous universe of the game for yourself. If you like what you see, please pledge on our game, there are some fabulous tiers and rewards on offer - you can even get your pet included as an NPC!"
