Backed this game because I knew I was getting a VR headset in the future, and the concept of one giant player waving their controllers around helping a smaller player with a gamepad was neat when I first saw it on Reddit.

Context:
Heard about this Nintendo Switch sequel to the Nintendo DS/3DS series of art-making apps from scrolling through news on Google and Twitter. It also comes with a pressure-sensitive pen for the Switch’s touch screen this time around, so I figured I’d try it out.
Result:
The game was distributed digitally via Nintendo eShop code, and I received my Colors SonarPen in mid-November 2020. Here are the contents of the box containing the pen:
And here is my name in the credits:

Someone on a Discord server I’m on randomly shared a link to this Kickstarter, and I decided to back it after seeing its animated art style, and that it’d be similar to some Mega Man games.

After seeing Jason Steele (creator of Charlie the Unicorn, Llamas with Hats, etc.) back this project, I went to see what it was about and apparently it’s by some of the creators on Wandersong, Celeste, and Night in the Woods, so I decided to also back it.
Pledged: $82 Rewards: Digital download of game, Physical boxed copy (signed by David Murray, the 8-Bit Guy): soundtrack on cassette tape, floppy disk with the game, printed manual, copy of Planet X2 for the Commodore 64, copy of Planet X1 for the VIC-20 Kickstarter start date: June 04, 2018 Kickstarter funded on: July 05, 2018 Estimated delivery date: May 2019
Context:
The 8-Bit Guy, David Murray, has really interesting videos on old hardware and software. Last year he made a game called Planet X2 for the Commodore 64, and with this campaign, he’s amping it up with Planet X3 for MS-DOS.
Result:
The digital copy of the Planet X2 and X3 games were linked as a separate downloads upon the completion of X3.
The physical copy of the games arrived at my place on March 04, 2019 – exactly eight months after the Kickstarter start date. Fitting for The 8-Bit Guy! The Planet X3 box was signed with the words “Enjoy x333”, which I requested as a sort-of pun on the game’s name.
Inside the boxes were the soundtracks on cassette tape, the printed manuals, and Planet X1 and X2 on Commodore 64 diskette, with Planet X3 on a 720K floppy, and a label for the 360K floppy disk version, should I choose to produce my own copy.
I later found my name on page 15 of the Planet X3 User Manual. Very cool!
The backer credits of Planet X3. NeonWabbit’s name is listed here as “Darien Dickinson”.
Pledged: €5 Rewards: Beta Tester, Backer lobby icon Kickstarter start date: December 15, 2017 Kickstarter funded on: December 30, 2017 Estimated delivery date: January 2018
Context:
I have had a Board Game Online account since November 30th, 2011, so it made sense to back their Kickstarter for a mobile version of the game.
Result:
After an initial survey, my username is now a gold colour in-game and in the lobby. As of August 2018, the mobile version entered an open beta, and that is why I have tagged this project as delivered.
