Crowdfunding still works but it has shifted: Kickstarter remains dominant while Indiegogo offers flexible funding and Backerkit and Gamefound focus on pledge management and tabletop. Expect most video game Kickstarters to raise $50K–$100K, with platform-wide success around 43% and video games under 25% success on Kickstarter. Campaigns need prebuilt community (bring ~70% of pledges), a playable demo or 30 seconds of gameplay, and careful launch timing (Tues/Wed, avoid holidays).
