The QuarterCade Kickstarter Campaign Starting Today

(Auszug aus der Pressemitteilung)

Indie game development studio LB’n’Mie has announced that The QuarterCade, is officially live on Kickstarter.

The QuarterCade is a custom-built, budget-friendly PC/console hybrid designed to make gaming accessible to everyone. Created by indie developer and artist DJ Jones (aka Last BeNeVoLeNcE), the project was born from a desire to overcome funding barriers and give players freedom from expensive hardware, restrictive ecosystems, and paid subscriptions. Built to order and ready to play right out of the box, The QuarterCade combines console simplicity with PC flexibility — just plug in, download, and play.

Each console is crafted as orders come in, allowing production to begin immediately without large quotas. The campaign’s affordable goal ensures fair pricing, supports collaborators, and rewards backers with meaningful perks, including early-bird discounts, digital bonuses, and collectible custom tops inspired by retro GameBoy aesthetics. Higher-tier backers also receive real hardware upgrades such as pro processors and NVMe SSDs for improved performance.

More than a crowdfunding effort, The QuarterCade is a movement for affordable and sustainable gaming. It aims to support indie innovation, preserve games old and new, and prove that small creators can challenge industry norms. Despite slim profit margins, the project’s focus remains on accessibility, transparency, and delivering value to backers while building a future where gaming truly belongs to the players.
