Crowdsourcing Picks: February 2 - 8, 2014

The weekly list lets me record projects worth backing, some local and some worth exploring. Kickstarter had a daily pick for renovating Doggie Diner statues, so I knew a little bit when I saw a newspaper article about them. Video Game High School is getting ready for a third season, opting for Indiegogo instead of Kickstarter for the previous two seasons. Support the arts with projects like localizing a Japanese animated movie, or support efforts to hack your car. See for yourself if you like any of these projects to back them.

Crowdsourcing Picks: Week of January 26, 2014

Welcome back to another week of crowdsourcing picks. I should probably get these updates out earlier so that I don’t feel rushed trying to post updates limited to once per day and stagger the original content with the aggregates. The Maple Key Comics project led me to find several new artists to follow in the future. I even added in the La Mulana 2 Kickstarter project for backing an independent video game with a grand and challenging adventure. See the projects selected for yourself.

Crowdsourcing Picks: January 19 - 25, 2014

This week started off with Kickstarter featuring a project to record madrigals written during the Renaissance by a fourteen year-old girl. Techdirt spotlighted some nixie tube clocks, and some game studios got together to raise funds for a new action game. Lastly, Indiegogo reminds us that the Winter Olympics are around the corner with a project to help the Jamaican bobsled team to attend the event. Take a look for yourself.

Crowdsourcing Picks: January 12 - 18, 2014

A new year comes, and the projects keep showing up. This week Kickstarter picked a game as a Project of the Day and a plugin to check the transit of emails. Techdirt had some simple ideas as projects to back. You could also back an MMO from an EverQuest designer or an RPG from the creator of Final Fantasy Tactics. Give some of them a look.

Crowdsourcing Picks: December 15 - 21, 2013

With the holiday passing soon, there are still projects to help out. For the week starting December 15, we have a couple of music-oriented projects to spotlight. There are some technology projects to look over as well.

Crowdsourcing Picks: Week of October 27

Every since I found out about Kickstarter, I have been posting links to projects. Most of them are staff picks, but I hear about some others through newsletters and web sites. For example, one of the projects is a video game in which the playable character has diabetes, except it’s designed like an adventure rather than an educational platformer like Captain Novulin was.
