Welp, since my last thread I had to request a locking due to being unable to 'justify' buying into crowdfunding projects, period. Under a red tape stop gap called 'justification'... But that same 'tape' likely to not strangle me as much on a horribly inflated Steam Market.
I'd thought I'd cut a glance on doing on a blue moon (read, free time.) Glance, see if there's any rare gems that I 'might' (keyword, might) justify enough to put on a wishlist. However, I cannot in good faith state I'd be able to justify buying...
Word of warning (bias wise), I'd be ideally aiming for games that I might justify buying. This 'justification' bias has a very dim view on 2D Games in general (bar exception.) And especially if it looks like something you can get out of a flash game, or RPG Maker. (Unless of course, it's free, and not in a piracy sense.)

First of the list, is "Apocryph: an old-school shooter". And at a rough glance... It looks like what you get if you get a Hexen clone like, but with modern day graphics at a glance...

Doing some digging, the developers here seem to be giving quite a lot of thought into the gameplay. If nothing else, if going lazy, it'd be worth looking into under a "Wishlist now, wait until release, then check reviews" to see how it's promise/barely alit hype goes.

Second is one out of many horrors, known as a 'Simulator' game. Precisely; PC Building.

And frankly, given the amount of top brands on there, on top of it working under a 'step by step' installment, I think it would likely be both educational, and possibly less therapeutic than well, building a new PC by yourself, only to say; static discharge everything to death.
Eh, if nothing else, it'd at least be a game worth buying for the computer geeks out there.
Only bane is, it's Early Access. But game-play alone, it looks pretty good enough to stand on it's own feet, I feel.

Next, is something I'd likely call "Kusoge", or something I've tagged along the lines of "Retro Bullshit" that I can NEVER in any lens, justify paying even 50p/c.

As is however, it's free. It's quirky, and something you might get your 'half minute hero' fix in an everyday, possibly cheap quirky manner, without forking 50p/c(or other 'cent') through the internet. That, and it's probably even rarer to know of than uh... Five Night's at Freddies?

And that's all I've found under (glance wise?) "Popular New Releases". Now to look and see if there's anything else...
*See's piles of really bad unity games, like SHIT later...*
... At most, I've only been able to find one more project. A seemingly good looking good homage to Darkest Dungeon.

However, between a lack of response, and a cancelled Kickstarter project, the long term state of the game is thrown into... Question (if not Jeopardy.) If nothing else, probably a case of 'better wishlist for now', and wait and see on if there's a miracle on the horizon.
And hey, at the very least, here's hoping it'd actually release, more than some certain kickstarter game calling itself Bankster. *Shrugs*
-
And... That's it for me. And in no thanks to "since Steam Direct" on just a $100 charge, and a game's ready for steam. I've had to... Wade through a micro-scopic pile of shit. Indeed, if anything, it's this sort of 'lack' of quality control that'd remind me of a certain Video Game crash of 83 (or is it 84?), and if going 'indie', probably better of trying to get on another platform, like I dunno? Ubisoft, or better yet; Nintendo?
