There have been some high-profile Kickstarter successes recently, though some are still more modest - but impressive - achievements from relative unknowns. Little Devil Inside by Neostream is one such example of the latter, having raised nearly $260,000 AUD at the time of writing to pass its $250,000 AUD goal.
This certainly looks like a stylish title, with the pitch video importantly including lots of footage. A 3D action adventure, with a heavy focus on exploration and survival, it's attracted plenty of attention in the PC and console media, with Steam being a major platform and PS4 and Xbox One confirmed.
It now has a Wii U stretch goal that looks rather attainable, however - it's set at $270,000 AUD, though there are just a few days left on the campaign.
This certainly looks like an interesting game, and if it gets past that stretch goal by raising another $10,000 AUD it could certainly be one to watch.
With thanks to JaxonH for the heads up.

hmm... well, I'll keep an eye on it, if it looks like it will make it to the Wii U, I'll throw money at it. There is one thing that annoys me however about their campaign.
Pledge $25 or more
800 backers All gone!
Seriously? The cheapest pledge to get you the game is all gone? Digital copies are gone? This is obviously then just trying to squeeze out a couple more dollars out of people.
Looks like it could be a masterpiece.
A couple things I felt watching the trailer. It looks gorgeous, the combat looks fun, the music is fantastic, but I was confused at all the different things going on. I mean a dragon at the end was a big wtf to me. Overall I want it.
Weird mix of cutesy and graphically violent. But it looks interesting.
With thanks to JaxonH for the heads up.
This game is both beautiful and adorable. Hopefully it's a good game too.
I'm slightly hesitant with backing on the level where I'm promised the game, it seems a little steep to me, but I'm happy to pitch in 5 dollars to help the Wii U library grow, and then I can get the game if it still tickles my fancy by the time it comes out.
Love the look of this! Yes please!
Looks fantastic so far.
Very atmospheric, I like it. Hope it makes the U cut.
The graphics style is certainly amazing.
I sent this to you guys yesterday through the 'news tips' section but I guess it didn't get through. Glad to see it featured here today though, I backed this planning on getting the PS4 version then they announced WiiU stretch goal and I'd much rather get it for that instead!
Come on folk, it's so close now
I'm gonna back it. I feel it's my duty to support games of this caliber. It'd be a shame to see this skip Wii U when it's SOOO close
@JaxonH Same here. Definitely backing and and sitting tight to see whether it reaches the Wii U stretch goal.
The game looks interesting but I find the gore really out of place with the art style.
Love the Vivaldi Summer, but I assume it's just placeholder music!
Looks EXTREMELY ambitious for a KS-backed indie game. I'll take a look if it comes to Wii U to see how that version fares, but I'll most likely just get the PC version.
I've seen this KickStarter a couple of weeks ago, but it didn't look like they were even going to fund the project.. I'm glad they made it. I'll definitely get the game if it comes out on the U.
I found this game out from Yooka-Laylee's kickstarter. It looks wonderful, just the type of game I'd love to play. A little disappointing to hear the Wii U being the only console that needs help receiving it while the other platforms get it right off the bat. So I'm glad to see this game get featured on Nintendolife, that way more people can see it and help it receive more backers to get this game on Wii U.
Just another 10k you guys, we're almost there. With 3 days left I know we'll reach it.
Looks fantastic. They already have a lot of the key technical elements in place. Will keep an eye on this one. Hope it makes it to Wii U.
@ikki5
The discounted price was for early backers. This is pretty common. You reward those who see the value immediately and support the game early. The same digital copy is available at the normal price.
Love the art style but I do not like the gore...
@willford81 I'm sure there will be an option to remove the blood but I can't say about the beheading(perhaps that'll be removed too if you turn it off). Most games give the option to lower gore, raise it, or disable it especially if this get's put on the Wii U.
I love it already!
I backed it because it's within $10K of the Wii U stretch goal. Figured with a few more days it could make it.
Too bad it's impossible at this point, this game does look really good
@Mega719 it's entirely possible. I backed it 2 days ago before it met it's goal when it was at 245,000, and it's risen 16,000 since then. So a further 9,000 in the last couple days isn't out of the question, though it'll be tight I admit.
@Ogbert yeah it's just that it may be overshadowed by other titles that promise a Wii U release like that Castlevania successor. When they officially reveal it is the final stretch goal then it is guaranteed a success, just look at how little time it took for Mighty No 9 and Yooka Layee to complete
@Mega719 that doesn't make it impossible though does it? Which was your initial statement that I was disagreeing with.
Bloodstained still has over 150,000 to raise before the next stretch goal is met and the final one is revealed. It'll no doubt get there soon, but LDI may well be over by that point and it's done incredibly well the last couple of days, during the period of Bloodstained's WiiU stretch goal being teased. It may have even helped by bringing new folk to KS.
@Ogbert yes anything can happen in a few days
I sure hope this game shows up on Wii U! More quality games are always welcome in my game library, though I'll admit I'm a little swamped with games right now.
Looks like my kinda style, ill be waiting and hoping for a release ~
@Zyon A content filter would be appreciated but that is so rare in games these days, in fact I can't remember the last game that had one. I loved the Splinter Cell series but quit when they ramped up graphic content and felt the need to litter the dialogue with the f-bomb...
The game looks really cool so far! If it does come to Wii U I will certainly get it.
They said the same exact thing about "Armed and Dangerous".
@aaronsullivan yeah I guess, however
Your pledge
$25.00 Edit
Looks like someone either dropped out or bumped their up so there was 1 spot left and I took it, I will however keep and eye on this and if it won't make the Wii U (though over 5k in 12 hours seems likely it will), I am pulling it off.
@ikki5 lol, I just notice that. Someone must have changed their pledge.
They have less then 6k to go with 65 hours left. I'll honestly be surprised if they don't reach $270k. Especially considering they received yet another 10k(possible more then) in just one day. I'm just not sure if it'll reach the second stretch goal they made for $300k that adds more animals and creatures. Either way as long as it reaches $270k at least I'll be happy. I plan to pledge $75(it's only $58 which is great deal for all the extra goodies you get) so that way I can give an extra copy to my friend.
The wii u needs more games like this. Definitely looks interesting, combat seems alright and from the environments I've seen so far it looks stunning.
Only about $3,000 away from Wii U at time of writing. with 56 hours left. I think it's going to make it. I just pledge support myself.
@ThomasBW84
Think you'll be pleased to know they posted your article on their Kickstarter page

Wow, this looks really cool. I have a bunch of games I want to Kickstart, like Izle, Yooka Laylee, and another I'm forgetting.
@JaxonH this is so getting to the WiiU.
Wow, this looks amazing. As usual I'm only supporting if the reward is the actual game for Wii U, though. Sadly, that hardly happens.
It made it just now Very glad my late backing helped. Still time to reach that last stretch goal too...
It made it!
Anyone have info on this project such as other funding and size of development team? This budget seems unrealistic if Kickstarter is the only source of funding.
I have no idea what is happening in the video but it looks gorgeous and fun. I'm interested.
Huh. I don't quite get it, but it does look very interesting.
