Can someone add this: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adept/jetpack-2-by-the-creator-of-the-original-jetpack

Will Jetpack 2 be available on other platforms, like Mac or Linux?

Yes! Jetpack 2 will be available on PC, Mac, and Linux. There will also be a more limited web playable version. I'll try to get a version on Steam as well.

Ok I'll create another account, but not today, so if anyone feels like it, go ahead and add the game.

Should their be a place in the wiki for project considering a Kickstarter? Anywho, the lead for Empires of Sorcery is considering a Kickstarter <https://plus.google.com/114060332856128360685>

You're welcome.

It also now supports IndieGoGo, and deals with recent changes in Kickstarter's layout.

I intend to pretty much leave it as it is unless there's a pressing need or purpose it could fill.

That's a great initiative. However there are many games in wiki which Kickstarter campaigns ended (some were successful some not).

I wonder how one would update those wiki entries. Does the scraper made by you Sofox is the tool for the job?

Mateus: Hmmm, that's an interesting idea but tricky to implement. I'll think it over.

Great, but it really should be moved to [URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CrowdfundedGames"] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CrowdfundedGames[/URL]

What do you say, would that be ok?

to cover kickstarter, indiegogo and more.
