Sheltered [Kickstarter]

Britain is the home of the original bedroom coders, we spearheaded the personal [Micro] Computer movement, so its only natural that the UK is still home to a wealth of indie developers unshackled by the ties of larger corporations. One of the recent Kickstarter projects that has caught my attention is Unicube's 'Sheltered'.

So before I indulge in another waffle filled page, I will cut myself off and get straight into the reasons why I am personally excited...

What is 'Retro' ?

Its official, our nerdy little sub-culture has become mainstream with large events such as the Play Expo in Blackpool and even Tesco's selling T-shirts with a Retro-gamer focus.

I am all for the growth and diversification of a sub-culture as it tends to bring more talented people or companies to the public eye - but one thing that has stuck in my craw is that I am now labelled by the media as a 'Retro-gamer' - admittedly having a blog called 'Retro Game Punk' doesn't help much...

OUYA... take a seat, we need to talk

OUYA - you deserve better than this. Everyone here loves you, this is a safe place, we say these things because you are hurting those who love you dearly.

Its been just over 3 months that the OUYA has sat next to my telly, and its been good. The little console birthed by the Kickstarter community has survived the last 2 games 'purges' in my house, albeit by the skin of its teeth.

The new console shine has worn off and some of the systems shortcomings are starting to show - OUYA we need to talk.

Thank you! [Editorial ]

I just wanted to take a minute to do a massive shout out to all the people who keep RGP humming along!
