I personally think Kickstarter success is almost entirely a crapshoot, but I think this might have also had more momentum when Dropsy was still a new thing and everyone was crazy for him (when was the first thread... year ago? Two?). You're definitely going to need to try to capture the minds outside of the forums... how the gently caress that happens, I have no idea. You're also going to be battling Steam Summer Sale... so I don't think your timing could really be much worse. Lots of gamer dollars will be pouring into Steam for the duration of the month, and I think people look at Kickstarter video game projects as just a pre-order opportunity and not really an investment or way to support someone they like. I hate to admit it, but I'm holding on to my spending cash until Steam Summer Sale stuff ends while I wait to see if my favorite games go on sale. That said... if you haven't already, Gamasutra is the big website where you go to read about the games biz, and Kickstarter blogs and articles have steadily piled up these past couple years. Gamasutra is a great repository for all kinds of lessons learned by other people who have gone before you; whether it is development processes or project management or Kickstarter successes and failures. Even big games get postmortems posted by their developers on occasion, where they detail what went right and what went wrong. https://www.google.com/search?q=gamasutra+kickstarter Get cracking! If Kickstarter fails, then you could always do it the old fashioned way and get a contract with a publisher. There are several "big" publishers out there that focus almost entirely on niche indy games. I'm willing to offer some time to help make the game happen, even if it's just to offer advice on how you should "manage" your developer(s).

You've gotten hella good coverage and you picked a really really really good time for getting open wallets. No Steam sale to gently caress things up, just before the X-mas season.

When are you going to be getting stung by a bee again? It's hard to donate without that happening.
