Episode 26 - Backbone: A Cautionary Noir Kickstarter Tale

Deep Fried Gaming

Episode 26 officially kicks off season 2 of the Deep Fried Gaming podcast. In it, we take a look at a game released only last year, in 2021. Created by a small team and funded through Kickstarter, Backbone is a game that proves to be ambitious and beautiful in many ways.

However, it is also a pretty stark reminder of how crowd-funding campaigns can kneecap a game even if a team has the desire and skill to bring their imagined experience to life.

In this episode, we discuss what makes this game so unique in the modern video game space as well as dig into what happened to cause such a promising title to become so badly tarnished. Join us as we investigate the clever, creative, and fractured creation and story of 2021's Backbone.
