In Insert Coin, we look at an exciting new tech project that requires funding before it can hit production. If you'd like to pitch a project, please send us a tip with "Insert Coin" as the subject line.
There may be an iPad version of Choose Your Own Adventure coming, but will it happen or not? It's up to you to decide. That's how the creators of the famed series of children's books are cheekily pitching their new Kickstarter campaign. Called Choose 'Tunes, the first title would be based on the ultra-popular Your Very Own Robot. The story would involve you, er, your kids putting together a 'bot named Gus from discarded parts out of their parents' robot lab. It would feature 20 branches, 11 possible endings and over 30 minutes of total animation. Since such cartoons are pricy to make, that's where Kickstarter comes in. The creators are looking for $130,000 to fund the project, and backers will be able to pick up the iPad app (an Android version could come later) around May of next year starting at $6. Other pledge levels will get you a custom stylus ($18), a chance to beta test the iPad app before others ($30) and even your likeness drawn into background of the app ($90). Naturally, all that depends on your "numerous talents and enormous intelligence" -- hit the source to choose.
