On top of the stretch goals on Kickstarter, the team at Ice-Pick Lodge is also inviting fans to vote for them for eventual inclusion on Steam. Readers can give Pathologic their approval at their Steam Greenlight campaign page

There’s still a few days left to push Pathologic through their stretch goals, help fund Pathologic at Kickstarter.com

Even without the indie gaming connection, the story itself is quite interesting. Maksym (aka Maxim or Maksim) and his brother Dennis (aka Denis or Denys) “rented” the Palm Springs condo and stopped paying the bill after establishing their 30 day residency requirement under California law. The homeowner is now left with a squatter that refuses to leave, in addition to thousands of dollars in legal fees that she’ll need to pay to file the paperwork needed to evict him sometime in the next 6 months. To add just a bit more insult to the whole situation, the brothers are said to be generating 4x the normal power costs due to their habit of leaving the doors and windows open all day while running the A/C. So much for at least being polite squatters.

The story doesn’t end there though. Thanks to the collective effort of the internet’s best detectives, we now know a lot more about Maksym and his brother. It seems that the Pashanin brothers are the “owners” of indie game developer Kilobite Inc, and they’ve already successfully generated just under $40,000 in Kickstarter funds for their first game, Confederate Express, on top of whatever they’ve pulled in from pre-orders on their website. In addition, as the AirBNB story was breaking, Kilobite was also running a Kickstarter campaign for a second game, Knuckle Club, despite failing to deliver Confederate Express to buyers.

That’s not all though. After the owner threatened to shut off power to the home, Maksym threatened legal action due to the fact that they were actively using the home for game development and claimed to be making between $1,000 – $7,000 in daily sales. Things came to a dramatic head this week after Maksym took to his own Kickstarter page to comment on the situation. His comment “10/10, would squat again” seemingly generated a number of complaints from the Kickstarter community, which possibly drove Kickstarter to take action on his page today.

Kilobite has yet to release another statement on the situation, it’s possible they may not though. Due to ongoing litigation, it’s probably in their best interests to keep quiet. The internet continues to dig up more details about the past dealings of the brothers, including a 2009 lawsuit for, you guessed it, squatting. As the Pashanin brothers are still squatting in the home, we likely haven’t heard the last of this story. With all the horrible media attention these two are getting, it’s tough to imagine a positive outcome for the duo after this insane series of events.

If you’d like to leave the good brothers a message, we’ve left links to their various sites within the article. At the time of writing, Steam users seem to be having a field day in the comments section of their Greenlight page

This latest collection of games includes a number of titles that are sure to be popular in the days to come. Glorious Leader!, an action game featuring Kim Jong Un himself, is now one step closer to making its way to cable news stations around the country. Hexage are bringing their games to PC with Radiant Defense, an addicting tower defense game that was quite popular on mobile devices.

Travel to unexplored sectors of space, claim new sectors for mining, set up defences, buy new ships and drones then customise them to fit your play style. Define patrol routes for protection or attack claimed sectors. Defend your own sectors from rival companies and leave your mark by building the biggest space mining corporation in the galaxy. Can you build a corporation to rival the mighty Europa Mining Company?

With Exo Miner, we’ve tried to create an impression of the vastness of space, to create a game world where you truly feel like a pioneer at the edge of a new frontier – finding resources, exploring strange new systems and building your stellar empire. Exo Miner caters for a variety of play styles from defensive and constructive to more direct approaches. Enter undiscovered sectors, uncover hidden secrets of civilizations past and then stake your claim – whilst keeping an eye out for whatever fate befalls your predecessors.

For a mere $10 you can get a DRM-free copy of the game as an early supporter for the game which is expected some time in early 2015. Check out their Kickstarter page to pledge support

This is amazing news not only for gamers but also for the PZ developers as they have a chance to show off their unique game to a much wider audience than Desura has been able to get them thus far.

Project Zomboid is a isometric view zombie survival game focusing on exploration, crafting, and building. The game has been in development for a long time now and has gone through numerous patches, redesigns, and upgrades. Multiplayer and scripted sequences are planned but are not implemented thus far.
