Kickstarter - Available in Germany as of Today!

Starting today Kickstarter is available with all features in Germany. Of course I was curious which projects went online right away. I'll post a collection of Kickstarters which caught my eye for one reason or another. Please don't understand this as a recommendation. Maybe some of these Kickstarters will make you smile - or think "Why haven't I thought of this?".

All pages are multi-language:

• Sky Sharks is a trashy movie with surprisingly good f/x for the intended budget. I think I recognized an actor who played in Das Boot in the opening scene.
• The mother of all cake pans: Der Mutterkuchen. The German humor behind this is hard to translate.
• Das Tal - PvP Sandbox MMO. "Tal" is German for "valley".
• Happy Cheese - "Crazy delicious, vegan, organic, raw, world class gourmet cheese".
• USB ChargeDoubler - double your charging speed!
• STEAMPUNK AMERYLL - A fantasy-steampunk Pen & Paper universe
• TIO - Save the World, Twice a Day: A new analog toothbrush, state of the art and sustainable.
• The Dwarves: The Saga is a cooperative fantasy boardgame based on a bestselling book series.
• Karnivore Koala - the post-eucalyptic board game.
• You want to write like Albert Einstein? You can with the Albert Einstein Font.
• MIITO – the sustainable alternative to the electric kettle.
• Crysis Analogue Edition - The Board Game

It's also a big step forward that they are allowing Direct Debit Payment now.

While this isn't a factor for people outside of Germany and Austria, most people in German Speaking Countries don't have a Credit Card and were unable to pledge on Kickstarter before and therefore had to wait until a PayPal option became available (which doesn't count into the KS goal).

A project with German prominence, like the ones from Guido Henkel (Creator of Realms of Arkania), or Chris Hülsbeck (Componist of legendary C64 music) or something like the Black Forest project Giana Sisters, might get some more money now.

Suatmm.

You can support Uwe Boll's upcoming Rampage 3 via Kickstarter at the moment.

I'll send him a jockstrap, right away.
