Friday news, part two:

 

Spiderweb Software's first-ever Kickstarter is already a big success
https://www.pcgamer.com/spiderweb-softwares-first-ever-kickstarter-is-already-a-big-success/
Spiderweb Software boss and old-school RPG maker of the first order Jeff Vogel has never previously crowdfunded a game, but he said in a 2016 interview that he was going to give it a try—in two or three years. Not quite two years down the road, he's kept his word with a Kickstarter for Queen's Wish: The Conqueror, and just one day after the campaign began it's already blown well past its goal.

 

Conquer a robot dystopia in cute card battler Insane Robots
https://www.pcgamer.com/conquer-a-robot-dystopia-in-cute-card-battler-insane-robots/
Playniac insists Insane Robots is not a card game. It's a card battler, meaning its cards are just weapons and strategic tools, not items to be collected. It doesn't have "costly expansions or time-consuming customization," the studio says. You pick a robot, build a deck that matches their abilities, and get right down to throwing rectangles at each other like the robot god intended. Not only that, it evolved from a prototype of a board game, so genetically it's probably closer to a deck builder like Dominion than a CCG like Hearthstone.

Some big changes are coming to Bethesda's digital CCG The Elder Scrolls: Legends, beginning with the team that makes it. The publisher told IGN that developer Dire Wolf Digital is being moved off the game, which will be taken over by Sparkypants Studios, the developer of the 15-minute RTS Dropzone.

Paradox CEO 'would love to' make a baseball management game
https://www.pcgamer.com/paradox-ceo-would-love-to-make-a-baseball-management-game/
Football Manager's wealth of stats, figures and tactics make it one of my favourite strategy games. I'm into sports in real life, granted, but I'd argue the strategy trappings found in sports management sims can be enjoyed by all fans of the genre.
This is something Paradox CEO Fred Wester says he and his team have considered in the past. For his money, there's more mileage in baseball management sims.

 

BlazBlue dev combats spoilers with 'non-negotiable' streaming guidelines
https://www.pcgamer.com/blazblue-dev-combats-spoilers-with-non-negotiable-streaming-guidelines/
No one likes spoilers. Social media blabbermouths, poorly flagged op-eps, unfiltered streamers—steering clear of party poopers in the wake of new releases can be difficult. With the latter in mind, Japanese developer Arc System Works has announced new streaming restrictions, in tandem with the launch of BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle.
