My buddy launched an IndieGogo for a neat looking platformer he's making:
http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/charlie-the-roach?show_todos=trueIt's pretty fun looking so far. The art style is comic-like, and a bit abstract.
He comes from playing all the classics, and loves the Turbo Grafx-16, so, you can expect a platformer that doesn't blow.
Even if you don't want to fling money at him, it'd be cool if you could spread the word to others who might.
YEAH INDEPENDENT GAME DEVELOPMENT. GOOOOOOOOO!
