postheadericon Kickstarter roundup: MiiPC, Tiny Games and Popbitch

5:21 AM | Posted by ProJ | | Edit Post

three other projects related to the application seeks support on the crowdfunding site

high profile successes like Amanda Palmer, Ouya, Aventura Double Fine and Callao Kickstarter made the first port of call for many new creative businesses and looking to raise funds for a new project or a device.

This month vomited more than three projects that are of interest for applications Blog. MiiPC Games Popbitch and Tiny: The Next Generation are very different beasts, but the applications are at the heart of three

MiiPC, armed with the slogan "The Power of Parents" is the closest Ouya, since Android is a computer small enough to be hand held. When Ouya focuses on games, however, is more than a goal MiiPC general office for families.

is the work of San Mateo ZeroDesktop home in a few days, turned over its goal of $ 50k. $ 90k push at the time of this writing, with 41 days to go.

"MiiPC is a compact personal computers running on the Android operating system. MiiPC connect to a computer screen (or TV) and instantly becomes a learning process, media and entertainment station "says his list of projects." It is designed for connectivity on the big screen and optimized to provide a real keyboard and mouse experience. "

Each family member gets their own user account on the computer running the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean -. And if all Android apps, Facebook and Angry Birds to more educational rate

hook for parents is the companion application for your iPhone or Android smartphones MiiPC with which will be able to control the use of their children, to block access to certain sites and applications if they wish, and set other time constraints.

I can see the appeal, at least for the estimated price: $ 99. I'm a little concerned about the risk of Big Brother syndrome for parents of older children who can ill parental supervision, but it will be an interesting project to watch.

Games
tiny is a project of the British design agency Hide & Seek, which is shooting for ? 25k "an application that takes you to the perfect game to play with your friends." Game in the real world, ie.
  • In fact, it is rather a set of rules for hundreds of micro-games that can be played with other people, the application provides the necessary digital tools - and I soon timers - and track you played. Games first be grouped by location: home, bar, on the road and a walk with Kickstarter supporters can vote for the fifth
  • Hide & Seek is lazar designer friends to create more games for the application, and no filter to ensure that the games are suggested for each appropriate context:
"If you can not run, for example, or if you are color blind or do most of the time playing with children and do not want games that tend to bold, then you can tell application and it will take into account when working on this game should be played "as Kickstarter page says.

Aa> Games tiny attracts me because it encourages people to play together instead of all the separate screens alike. IOS is only in its initial version, Hide & Seek, but said that if the bill comes to ? 45k, you will make a version of Android as well. With 15 days to go, a little over ? 10.6k promised.


Finally, Popbitch: The Next Generation. It is an iPad app for the weekly newsletter based in the United Kingdom and the website, which has been ongoing since 1999. Now, there will be an app for that, if you can increase Popbitch ? 25k.
