Paul posted a few weeks ago regarding Kickstarter, a site where people can post up their projects in the hope that users will find their causes worthwhile and help fund them. It's been especially helpful for some independent game developers who have used Kickstarter to fund their latest games and even entry fees into the IGF.

Unfortunately it was rather difficult to find all the indie projects as there was no tagging system to speak of and a pretty poor effort of a search mechanism. Lucky for us, the guys behind Kickstarter are good listeners and a new update has arrived, one of the latest features being the addition of a tagging system. It's now possible to check out every gaming project by clicking here.

It's definitely worth checking through the entries as there's some great-looking stuff to find. Of course, you may even want to donate a little bit of cash to a project if you decide it worthy enough!

This is a lot better with a game filter! I love kickstarter's concept and actually plan to give it a try.

I love the concept too but it upsets me that it's still limited to people who have an address and a bank account in the US.

Oh yeah, forgot that. Hope Canada (or worldwide) will be allowed someday..
