What Do You Want To Know About Kickstarter?
summary
Requires 30 seconds of gameplay up front, a page with video, images and 5–7 diverse rewards, and updates every other day for games. Community building of 3–6 months matters: first-time creators get only about 30–34% external funding, so plan to bring 65–70% of pledges yourself. Set realistic goals (video game sweet spot ~$50k–$150k), never show stretch goals before funding, prefer digital rewards, and don’t promise console ports without platform agreements.
