Back in the day I was a huge fan of RPG like like Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior for Nintendo. Now there’s a whole new generation of RPGs not being funded by Nintendo, Playstation, or XBOX, but funded on sites like Kickstarter. I’d like to introduce a new Kickstater campaign that’s trying to launch a action, fantasy RPG called Ae’ra Sunburn. Check out this vibrant, fantasy world RPG on Kickstarter today:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1989649655/aera-sunburn?ref=2cfwek

Anyone that has played RPGs knows how involving they are so you might be thinking why should I stop my current RPG and play this one? What makes Ae’ra Sunburn different? Ae’ra Sunburn is set in a lush, vibrant fantasy world, core features are co-op, exploring, crafting and a real-time modern combat system.

More On Features

– Dynamic combat system. Fight in your own style. “You will have to think, plan your steps and attack-patterns. You will have to dodge, parry, counter attack, use stealth and environments to triumph in the fights.”

– Crafting with style in that you can creating pretty much anything you need.

– Exploring new ways of playing a top down ARPG.

– Unique way characters evolve.

– Co-op/play with your friends.

– Rich storytelling.

– Third person screen, will switch to this view as action dictates.

– 40+ hours of game play.

The makers of the game encourage exploration of the environment. Also, they encourage users to develop unique attack patterns.

Characters

Players can choose 1 of 4 characters with their own unique stories and abilities. Characters include Cyan, Jade, Aisa, and Za’rach. If I ever get my hands on this game I’m definitely picking Za’rach he looks like a beast! He’s actually “master of the beasts” after all according to the game story.

What Do The Environments Look Like?

The game environments have come a long way since I was playing RPG games. This game looks amazing. Just check out some of these cool places you get to explore in Ae’ra Sunburn.

Deserts of Ko’Do (Above)

As you can see the graphics are extremely detailed and lifelike. Many more examples on their KS page.

How’s The Music?

If there is one thing I enjoyed about playing RPG games it’s the music. The music was one of the reason I loved Final Fantasy games so much. Right now they are working on getting the amazing artist, Kim Karlsson to produce tracks on the game. They also have help from other musicians, their latest edition is Robin Johnsen, a DJ with a “really great flow of feelings.” Depending on the success of the Kickstarter campaign the RPG will be voice covered as well.

Are There Any Rewards?

Yes, this is a very professional campaign, no aspect has been overlooked including many more than fair rewards. $6 gets you end credit thanks, exclusive updates, and a big thank you from the team. The rewards go all the way up to about $1,822 USD where you’ll get 100 copies of the game and your name/logo in the beginning of the title. My favorite pledge level is $18 where you get a copy of the game and end credit thanks. If nothing else support at this level.

Conclusion

So as you can see this is a great, promising RPG game, but all they need is more support to get this thing to 100%. Video games to develop require a lot of different kinds of work. There’s visuals, story, music, game design, voice over, the list goes on and on. The team is working on the most important aspects of the game, but to get it polished to the level of perfection they will need support from Kickstater backers like you. Consider supporting their campaign today.

Are you a scientist, teacher, engineer, or may be just have a passing interesting in the subject? If the answer is yes, there’s a new geeky, scientific Kickstarter campaign just for you. The new Kickstarter campaign is for a product called PT Cubes by Brian Meyers Jr. PT Cubes are the stackable periodic table elements perfect for displaying on your desk.

John Schiermeier is feeding the homeless with his bus conversion and needs your help in order to continue on Patreon. John and his wife Shelia have come up with a great, novel idea. The couple is trying to raise enough money to buy a bus or van to feed the homeless. Consider supporting the campaign here:

https://www.patreon.com/Jthumber

John knows all about homelessness, he himself, was homeless at one time. That’s why John and his wife Shelia want to do something about the issue today with their converted bus/van. John has tried to make a go at getting enough funds with publishing books on Amazon, blog, vblog, and now Patreon as well. Hopefully something will stick, Patreon looks like a good option for what they are trying to accomplish. The goal is to get consistent money coming in to make feeding the homeless possible.

Long Term Goals

The long term goal is to of course convent the bus or van into a RV and then travel around the United States feeding the homeless. The title of this campaign according to John and Shelia will be “Feeding America one meal at a time” with the tagline “Help an ex-trucker and his wife convert a school bus to bring meals to the homeless across the US. Hope is just one foot forward.”

The Story

“As a trucker, my wife and I have been all over America and experienced everything it has to offer. We’ve seen wonderful attractions and met amazing people, but we’ve also seen the suffering of many individuals and families who would benefit greatly just from having a single warm meal to fill their stomachs and give them hope. It’s time for us to do more. We’re heading back on the road, only this time it’s in a converted school bus, which we’ll use to hand out meals to those in need all across America.”

The Need

I see it here in my city. The homelessness problem in Seattle is huge. There are tents everywhere. The world needs more people like this couple. Yes, city governments and non-profits can do a lot, but lets not forget we (Individuals) can help too. It’s better to take action, go into the arena, than to stay on the sidelines.

Are There Any Rewards?

Yes, if you contribute there are several rewards for this campaign. $50/month gets you 25% off camping coupon. $250/month gets you 40% off at the camping store. $750/month gets you 50% off at the camping store, 25% the clothing line, pictures of their progress, help your hometown, and meet the couple in person!

Conclusion

If you are interested in helping John and Shelia out with their ambitions of traveling around the United States and helping solve the issue of homelessness consider donating to their Patreon campaign today.

The goal of the Visionsforge Kickstarter campaign is $40,433. The company is well on their way to meeting that goal with about 25% funded already. The money raised will cover the costs of manufacturing, marketing, and distributing the initial run of Forge 1 printers, getting this product into homes and offices around the world. The Forge 1 Kickstarter campaign officially launched December 21, 2017. Unfortunately, the early bird packages are limited to only 100.

Comparison

Specifications

The specs of this 3D printer are very impressive, but that’s not all that makes the Forge 1 impressive. The machine is designed to be upgraded. For example swapping out tablets, just open up the drawer and remove the previous tablet, done. The Forge 1 was created to last decades. Instead of replacing the unit it’s designed to adapt to changes in design and technology.

Are you in the market for a new car, but tired of the same boring car ads with static pictures? If the answer is yes there’s a better three dimensional way coming to a web site near you. If this exciting new technology called Showaround is funded on Kickstarter you may see three dimensional images on your favorite web site soon such as eBay or Taobao.

Visit and contribute:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1085488908/smart-360-image?ref=4roxs2

The Kickstarter campaign called Smart 360 Imaging is a simple, cost effective, and mobile solution to creating smart 360° images for car ads or really anything else that requires a more engaging experience. The Showaround concept was created by Xin Wang. One day he discovered that there is no easy way to create a 360° views around an object. Of course there are professional studios that will make a 360 degree image, but the costs are still too high. Showaround enables users to capture a multi-angle views of an object using just a smartphone device and then integrate the view easily, without hassle.

Company Mission

“We are the Showaround team, and our mission is simple: give the market a simple, cost-effective, DIY mobile solution for creating and applying Interactive 360° Object Visualization for commercial uses. This representatives a hugely beneficial alternative to paying for equipment and studios.”

Users of the Show Around technology can take as many 360° photos as they want storing them on their phone or uploading into cloud360. There is actually a demo app at the Apple Store if you want to check it out.

Visit: “Capture 360” Apple Store

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/capture-360/id1227078535?ls=1&mt=8

This app is still under testing, it’s a work in progress. The Capture 360 mobile app is the ultimate 360° and 3D tool.

Any Cool Rewards? 

Yes, there are many cool rewards if you donate on Kickstarter. Pledge just $10 and get on the contributors list, the latest updates, PDF thank you card, and early access to beta versions. The rewards go all the way up to $599 and $2,500. For $599 get 1-year subscription to cloud 360, includes 500 360° images and everything else in previous reward. Donate $2,500 and you will become a sponsor at their official launch party in Atlanta. In addition you will be treated as a founder in a top Chinese restaurant and discuss their journey.

Conclusion

The genesis of the Showaround came in 2016 and lots of progress has been made since then, but they still need your help. Please consider donating to their Kickstarter campaign and finally get this idea off the ground and into customer’s hands.

Growing up my favorite games on Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Playstation, then later Xbox 360 were always the RPG games. My favorite RPG series of all time has to be the popular Final Fantasy Series.

Set in medieval times it’s a game that deeply focuses it’s story on the inner emotional turmoil of its main characters and a skill system that will require you for good intuition and some serious gaming skills. The game focuses on each characters personal story while at the same time there is an important background story and bigger picture.

The Plot

“You will play the character of a 15 years old young teenager that is going on a simple task by his father to find fast some fast money to save his mother from jail.
