Venus Patrolhas been “really honestly actually finally launched,” according to creator and indie game curator/journalist/adventurer Brandon Boyer. One click on thishyperlinkwill prove that he is in fact not a scheming dirty liar planning to take off with all your Kickstarter money.
you’re able to expect to see us and many other sites link to Venus Patrol in the future, as Boyer has had his finger on the pulse of the independent scene for longer than most. Between his role as chairman of Independent Game Festival, organizing Austin gaming collectiveJuegos Rancheros‘ monthly events, and connecting designers and artists across the world, he’s usually first to declare what new indie game is worth checking out and he’s usually right. He introduced me toSword & Sworceryand, most recently,Super Hexagon, long before most knew these titles.
As part of the site’s Kickstarter, exclusive games by Vlambeer (Super Crate Box) and Adam Atomic (Canabalt) were offered. Now these games can be acquired through Venus Patrol’smembership program. You’ll also get art & music from the creators ofAdventure Time, Katamari Damacy, LittleBigPlanetandPixelJunk Eden.
After a lengthy start-up process, I’m happy to see Venus Patrol have such a successful launch. Now go check out the site, but do come back, you hear? We need you. I mean, we love you. No, I mean both!
