    The Crowdfund Bookie crunches data from select successful Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns that ended during the week and produces pretty charts for you to look at. It was an active week in crowdfunding, as the Kickstarter campaigns for 7 Days to Die, Legend of Iya, Tangiers, Balrum, Candle, Collateral, Codename Cygnus and Crypt Run as well as the Indiegogo campaigns for Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm and Gods Will Be Watching came to a close. Open-world survival horror game 7 Days to Die earned the most money this week ($507,612), and had the most backers of the group, with 13,876 people funding the project. Another open-world game, a vehicular combat game called Collateral, had the highest average pledge per person, with each backer averaging $53.52. Take a gander at the week's results and our fancy charts after the break.

    Developer Balcony Team recently pulled the curtains back on the "human friendly" world-building tool for its fantasy RPG, Balrum, in an update on its Kickstarter page. The developer won't guarantee mod support if the game is funded, but hopes to release a polished version of its tools after the game launches, providing funding goes well. Balrum is an open-world fantasy RPG that has players build their homes, tend to their farms, explore the world of Balrum, join a guild and complete quests. Players will have access to over 100 spells and abilities and can craft custom items for use in Balrum's turn-based combat. Balrum is currently sitting at $19,465 in funding with 14 days left in its campaign to reach its $50,000 goal. %Gallery-195136%
