Kickstarter Wednesday: The Hit Squad Movie

Today's Kickstarter Wednesday doesn't feature an indie game, or even Kickstarter for that matter.

Confused? Bear with us and all will become clear.

Today's focus is Super Pixel Bros' hilarious 8-Bit comedy, The Hit Squad, the world's first 8-Bit feature film.

The Hit Squad follows the escapades of washed up 80s band-mates Roddy Stones, Frank Miller and Charles Whitecastle. Think This is Spinal Tap crossed with South Park, featuring Lemmy from Motorhead. Then combine that with a love of video games and you have one of the funniest shows on YouTube.

So what's the next logical step for a gaming web series? Make a movie, and crank up the epicness to the max!

Over recent months, Kickstarter has grown in popularity. We've seen superb looking indie games like Ravaged and Storybricks all take to Kickstarter in a bid to secure funding for their respective projects.

Super Pixel Bros have taken a similar route to make their dream a reality by teaming with IndieGoGo, a similar fund raising website to Kickstarter that will allow them to raise the money needed to write and produce The Hit Squad movie.

As of right now, the campaign sits at $6,846 out of $25,000 with 19 days on the clock.

If you're a fan of adult-cartoon comedy, the likes of South Park and Family Guy, then be sure to check out the Super Pixel Bros YouTube channel. I guarantee you'll be laughing your socks off within minutes. Then, if you deem it funny, head on over to the IndieGoGo page and show some gaming love for The Hit Squad movie.
