someone needs to explain to me how flexible funding is supposed to theoretically work.

say i make an indiegogo campaign for "help me design a sweet bitcoin mining rig" at $20,000. what am i supposed to do if i only get $12K? like, why should i give a guaranteed pile of money to a not-guaranteed chance of success? what's to stop the person who put the campaign up from saying "welp, poo poo happens" and buying 8 grand worth of weed and a four thousand dollar hooker?

flexible funding is intended to be used for projects where the project leader already has money on hand to do the project, but more money will help finish it faster or with more features, as well as acting as a sorta pre order system. incidentally, flexible funding projects on indiegogo have a much higher fee percentage to the site then a successful fixed funding (although if the flexible funding hits its goal, the higher fee gets refunded). its like 9% of the money taken in goes to fees as a flexible funding project, but only 4% for a fixed funding or successful flex funding.

digital devolver basically acquire games from people where they will help back all the extra stretch goals for a small cut of the profits, and the original owners get to keep the IP

can't expect hits from all of them, but it's really cool to see a company helping small fry's out

In these lines bonds are formed. Human bonds of friendship and loyalty as members help each other stay warm and fed, or even reassured that the wait won't be for nothing. It is a rare thing to see in a world where most keep to their phones. The line equalises us. It is a phenomenon I wish to show you.

My name, Christopher Gilbert. My trade? Film production. When I was a kid I thought about two things. Video games and movies. Years later this path has led me to the opening of my own company, Badturtle studios. My hope is to soon be producing short films, documentaries and web series that you, the viewing audience can experience and enjoy.
