Tiny Speck has reached its Indiegogo fundraising goal, which means a limited run book filled with artwork from Glitch, the co-operative MMO which shut down in 2012, will be handed out to supporters. With 14 hours left on the clock, the initial $17,000 funding goal has been surpassed with backers contributing $107,724 towards its creation. All funds raised will go into producing the hardcover book, additional perks for those who helped fund it, and what’s left over will help fun “Tiny Speck’s next venture.” The developers hope to have the book finished by early February or March. Have a look at the video below, and hit the link if you would like to throw more money their way.

Monolith investigating Gotham City Impostors data wipe glitch

20120217gothamcityimpostors

Monolith and Warner Bros are seeking details of a reported Gotham City Impostors glitch which resets player stats. The problem apparently occurs most often when players have upgraded from a trial to the full version. Losing progress negates the benefits of paid DLC bonuses like XP boosts, so irate users have vocally filled 68 pages on the game’s forums. Hit the link above to add your report should you have suffered a similar misfortune.

Thanks, GamePolitics.

UMvC glitches go monochrome, reverse controls

20111205umvc3

Shoryuken has posted a tutorial showing off how to trigger a couple of interesting bugs in UMvC. By combining Morrigan and Strider’s abilities, you can end up with one character alone on screen, turned 90 degrees to face the camera. Fiddle a bit more, and you can make the screen go black, and finally, your characters will be transported to what’s being called Reverse World – all controls backwards, animations on the wrong side, and a snowy-white environment. The glitch reportedly works only on the Xbox 360 version, with the PlayStation 3 just throwing a wobbly.

Hit the break to see it in action.
