Throwing money at the screen

[dethtoll]

Anything on Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Steam Early Access you've put your money into? Tell us about it!

I've thrown money at the Reading Rainbow Kickstarter and the Skip Beat one.

I don't buy things on Early Access anymore (got burned too many times) and my one time on Indiegogo was the infamous Chloe Sagal scandal. And I've never donated money to a Kickstarter before, but I finally broke my record when I came across this -- the idea of taking the alt-right cuckspiracy theorist movement and turning it into a Lovecraftian horror novel just seems brilliant to me and I'm amazed nobody's thought of it first.

Will also be backing the System Shock 1 remake Kickstarter when it launches.

I feel really scuzzy about it, but I backed the Escaflowne Blu-ray Kickstarter.

Re: Throwing money at the screen

[(Anonymous)]

Ooh, they're gonna release Escaflowne on Blu-ray? Why do you feel scuzzy about it?

Re: Throwing money at the screen

[(Anonymous)]

Nope. I don't back Kickstarters or Indiegogo on principle.

Then why post?

Not recently, but I have put money towards a few successful and a few unsuccessful Kickstarters. One of the unsuccessful ones was for a game called "Welcome to Aberford", a zombie game set in the 50s. I thought it looked really interesting, but I didn't really expect it to make its goal - they didn't have enough material already made to draw people in, and their financial goal was too high.

As for successful campaigns - there was one for the omnibus edition of a webcomic I'm very fond of, Digger. I actually already owned every volume, but I and my mother put in enough to get the omnibus anyway. :)
There was also a campaign run by a friend of mine, to fund their YouTube series: an episodic musical about people playing D&D. They made their goal, they got my money, aaaand... two years later, they have one episode up. I have no idea what happened to the rest of it. >:(

What happens to your money if they didn't reach the end goal? Does it get return to you or

Re: Throwing money at the screen

Kickstarter only takes your money at all if the campaign hits its goal. I think some of the other platforms just take your money one way or the other, though.

Oh man, let's see... a Queer Japan documentary, a BL comics anthology (which... has disappeared?), animated projects MOJO and Urbance...

Seriously, I was into crowdfunding years before Kickstarter and Indiegogo hit the scene, but was DELIGHTED when they appeared! A science comics anthology that I'm in is actually up for funding right now and passed it's 50% mark just a day or two ago! *excited*

I hate the way Kickstarter has effected the bird game market. If you want everything now, you have to prepay before the game even exists. I don't know how to play, if I'll enjoy it, or even if I'll find anyone who wants to play it with me, I'm not ready to buy the game just yet.

I know I Kickstarted Arcadia Quest because it looked fun and there was a lot of Kickstarter exclusive stuff, and then when I got the game I immediately put it up on E-bay because I just couldn't financially justify not doing that

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/80250451/niche-a-genetics-survival-game

Many days to go and fully funded!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tabby/quench-a-narrative-puzzle-game-by-axon-interactive

Not yet fully funded :(


They're both cute indie games. The first is a genetics system and the second is weather/God type play

I put some money into the Circuit Scribe one a while back. I actually got my kit a while back that I'm keeping so we can teach my nephews and nieces about circuits when they get a little older. I've played with it a little and it's pretty cool, though I don't have the brain to do anything really creative with it.
