This thread is for discussion of all things crowdfunded, from Kickstarter to Indiegogo. Post links to your Kickstarter here along with your pitch, draft Kickstarters you need advice on, and trad game Kickstarters you've seen and liked. THE RULES 1. If you have a Kickstarter and you'd like to see it discussed, make your pitch here and people who are looking for things to fund or new games can check it out. 2. Once it has been funded you can go ahead and start your own thread since it is, with the aid of your fellow TG crew, likely a published game in its own right and you are now a famous game designer! 3. This is for discussion and announcement of trad game projects. Discussion on how Kickstarter or the industry works in general is better suited to the Industry Thread.

Zanzibar Ham posted:Their first social goal is 1000 shares and their first stretch goal is 75k (more than twice the funding amount) for a $25 game. They're expecting a lot of backers. The last two Legendary Showdown KSes hit 100-200k and a lot of those backers will be interested in another expansion to the game they have, so they're probably a right. This will be harder on the goon than the Kickstarter.

Diaz has also decided to take a month off from work but still collect Patreon donations before. Swell guy!Kai Tave posted:Except the creators walked off with the money and to the best of my knowledge never produced anything. They did, it was just really bad and nobody watched it. Honestly I'm kind of surprised there hasn't been a big tabletop Kickstarter for a game about Those Dang SJWs yet. I think various OSR people making GBS threads themselves about Feminists Online to drum up book sales proves there's a market for it even in niche spaces. Someone with actual followers launching a Kickstarter for The Free Speech Teen Panties RPG could make some mad bank.

fr0id posted:I think it was poorly thought out on my part to pair discussion of Mikan and GMS. I am morbidly curious about what exactly happened with Mikan and I think other folks are too. When the information presented is "people on the Internet harassed them" it naturally leads to speculation and assumptions about what that harassment consisted of and whether it was serious enough to go into hiding over. That latter question is assuming that Mikan would make an irrational decision about going into hiding, and so it's actually pretty insulting to ask. For the people asking about whether the harassment was really that bad, keep in mind that you're indirectly insulting a victim by doing that. That said, I'll say I'm curious about what happened but I respect Mikan enough to think they made the best decision for themself. This seems like a good post to end this on, so I am putting a lid on this for now before you folks start eating each other. Post about Mint Works or Fragged Empires or What Ho, World! or something.

grassy gnoll posted:Finish the Black Yearbook! Working on it! It turns out I probably should have delegated more of the logistics and maybe planned fewer stretch goals. I'm trying to knock out drafts of as much as I can this year so I should be able to send some stats your way in the coming months, at least.

thelazyblank posted:This obvious joke does bring a real question: Did anyone else try the Transmedia Empire idea after GMS shot himself in the foot with an assault rifle for half a decade? 7th Sea took a shot at it at $1.25M and there have been a few Kickstarters that tried to do it. I'm pretty sure someone tried to rip off Hearthstone that way but it's probably long since failed and I can't find it now. I'm currently debating making the art book double as a splat for the tabletop game so I can put it on DriveThruRPG. We'll see if that works out I guess

Cinnamon Bear posted:You seem like a cool skelly and were also a cool santa so I'm thinking about giving your anime a shot. Is it purely a visual novel or is there any interaction/branching plot planned? I don't really know much about these things, so I'm not sure what exactly that entails. There's gonna be a lot of interaction but I'm probably gonna avoid branching. I'm a little wary of it because it could easily turn into a ton of work, and I'd rather not ruin my ~transmedia empire~ on my first attempt!

Hey folks. I'm planning to Kickstart layout and art for a new edition of Retrocausality, a time travel game I made in like 2013 but never got professional work on. I already wrote the book so I'm aiming for a low-cost campaign that doesn't need much more writing/editing, if any. How does this draft look? E: I'm using some placeholder art for now, the final will have a different header and a bit more art in the description. Ettin fucked around with this message at 05:34 on Mar 26, 2017 |

JazzFlight posted:Oh geez, that guy behind it is gonna kill himself for real this time, right? At least according to the update they posted, the plan is to work on the game a bit more with some backer suggestions and come back with a better KS later. If they stick to that, it'll probably work out. Fingers crossed?

The "debate cards" are described as "subjective statements" but the ones they show ("Islam is dangerous", "BLM is a hate group") have one clear, obvious answer (no) and aren't subjective at all. I wonder why that is
