Help James Kochalka and Pixeljam Make a Game
James Kockalka, indie comic, daily diary drawing extraordinary has teamed up with Pixeljam (the guys behind Dino Run and Mountain Maniac), to create Glorkian Warrior.
I’ve followed Kochalka for years and have always loved both his clever insights into daily life and the nice geek gaming bits that pop up in his work. Kochalka even creates chiptune music with his Game Boy Advance.
Over at Kickstarter, James and the Pixeljam team are raising money to get the game, Glorkain Warrior, made. As of this post they are almost half way to their goal of $10,000. Head over and check out the video (drawn by Kochalka) and donate if you feel so inclined. I see good things coming from this.

Pixeljam is an amazing studio and the guys there are also really passionate about the work they do. I hope they reach their goal soon.

Very cool! Looks like an exciting project and one worth supporting. I wish I had 5,000 to drop to them.

Why don’t they just find a publisher to fund this game? If its such an amazing idea they shouldn’t have too much trouble and they both seem to have a respectable track record.
The business plan behind this game is really questionable. “donate money to us so we can make a game and then sell it”. Its like they want the advantage of having someone fund their project, but don’t want to give them a share of the money after its complete.
I hope they can get this game made eventually because I don’t doubt their sincerity in making a good game. Its just the means of financing it don’t make sense to me. Who the hell would donate a sizable amount of money to get this made when the only return is a copy of the game and some comics?
