A collectible card game reminiscent of Triple Triad, a first-person shooter inspired by Bioshock, a management game along the lines of Prison Architect and a pixel-art RPG – they’re all waiting on Square Enix Collective for your feedback! And let’s not forget about XO’s Kickstarter campaign… It’s already over 95% funded! Can you help make something awesome this August?

Square Enix Collective Needs Your Feedback on 4 New Titles (July 31)
XO

XO

–by developer Jumpdrive Studios has less than a $1,000 to go on Kickstarter from its original funding goal of $40,000!

XO is a single player game. Newtonian physics govern starship movement in a 2D plane. The game unfolds in real-time but you can pause the action and issue commands. Most of the gameplay is procedurally generated, including events, weapons, star systems, and personalities. These rogue-like elements ensure XO will be replayable and unique during each session.

Here is the XO trailer:

Carta Nova

–by developer Studio Kima is a Collectible Card RPG that blends tactical card matches with a immersive story-driven world. Players will be able to explore the world both offline and online, while interacting and competing with its inhabitants and other players.

Square Enix Collective Needs Your Feedback on 4 New Titles (July 31)
Carta Nova

With Carta Nova, we are aiming to create a deep CCG experience in an immersive, responsive RPG world, with hundreds of cards available at launch. Not only that, we also want to go against industry standards by developing a CCG/TCG without microtransactions. That means once you back this game, every single card, expansion, costume and DLC will be included with the game free. We believe that is a sign of respect to our players and the only way to create a truly immersive game experience.

We are developing the game in Unity 5, focusing on a multi-platform build. The game will first launch for PC (Windows, Mac, Linux), with consoles (PS4, Xbox One, Wii U, PS3, Xbox 360) and Vita next. Nintendo 3DS version is planned, but it will be dependent on a future Unity release.

Here is the Carta Nova trailer:

Electroshift

–by developer Oldsport Studios is set in an alternative Paris, telling the story of Jacobs, a man who finds himself in the middle of the civil war.

Throw yourself into the adventure and reveal the true face of both leaders, Aton Tesla and Zackenstein, wealth and poverty. Only you can stop the madness.

Walk through the streets of Paris like never before. Explore the City of Light and wealth; visit the Black Zone where everything is ash and dust; walk among the trees or even run through the sewers.

Here is the Electroshift trailer:

Dream Factory

–by developer Eastglade Mobile is a PC (Win, Mac, Linux) and tablet (iOs, Android) based Simulator game. The movie making process doesn’t always catch everyone’s attention because everyone likes watching the final result. But many of us really do like to know what lies behind the curtain, behind the stage…

Our approach is to look at the industry in an ironic way. We’ve reviewed many different samples and cliches of both the old and modern Hollywood Industry, and rediscovered the most memorable names who made the filming culture of 20th-21st centuries what it is today.

In Dream Factory you will have to create and organize the movie process, you will have to deal with greedy marketeers and tricky-chicky finance directors, while also having to put all your efforts to butter up capricious actors. On top of this you will have to learn how to build your studio and production company, brick by brick while, dealing with accounting problems and the like.

Here is the Dream Factory trailer:

So go help vote for and support these four titles.
